They can be sealed in a freezer bag and frozen if you plan to toast them later. Otherwise, ziploc them.and refrigerate.
I'm just making this up - I rarely eat English muffins but it sounds right.

If I have leftover 'English Muffins' I make mini-movie-pizzas.
Very simple. Heat oven, apply tomato sauce to Muffin, grate Cheese, sprinkle Oregano & Basil, bake in oven 350 -> 400 degrees.
One muffin mini-movie pizza is never enough, so eat the Whole Rack.

any kind of freezing or
any kind of freezing or refrigeration ruins the subtleties of fresh bread. it might not matter much for commercially produced english muffins, but in any case id avoid it and just store them in the bag at room temp
for really nice loaves of fresh bread i usually cant finish it before it starts to lose its flavor and amazing texture - after 3 or 4 days i usually just toss it and get a new loaf next time im at the store. its one of my only cases of willful food waste, but for me the taste and texture of really really good fresh sourdough with cultured butter is one of the best things you could ever put in your mouth, but if the bread is not super fresh, with a perfect texture and strong sour taste, then its just plain old bread and butter.

They are not merely 'mini-pizzas' but rather 'mini-movie-pizzas'.
My home Oven is a Super High Def Ultra Convection model, (SHDUC) and I'm working out the licensing with LucasFilm, Boeing and Volvo (marine division).
You are all welcome to the recipe, but they won't taste the same in your lo - tech gas or electric ovens.
My personal oven is Hyper - Dimensional and inhabited by invisible Hamsters.
The Hamsters are Unionized, so forget about 'borrowing' them.

Guess it was a bit of a leading question, but had come to a realization that my method isn't going to work for me moving forward.
I believe my grocery store only sells Bays out of the fridge in a "classic" package similar to Thomas' ... row of three double stacked in a cardboard boat with cellophane wrap.
I've been opening up one end and then simply placing a non-ziplock sandwhich back on the end of the opened packaged to help seal.
When I got down to two left, I'd place the two remaining muffins in the sandwich bag & throw out the original packaging.
^ it was on this step that I realized the error of my ways re: "sanitation" ... since the inside of the sandwich bag was in contact with the outside of the packaging.

What is the best way to store Bays English Muffins?
BAYS packaging allows for maximum freshness to be retained as they make their way to your home. Many BAYS lovers have found that placing the muffins in a resealable plastic bag once they’ve been opened keeps them fresh in the refrigerator.

Leave Thomas in the fridge in original packaging for a month and have no problems.
If we leave bread out the humidity gets to it and it molds pretty rapidly.

How about tossing the paper caddy, and just use the original bag. If it's just cellophane then maybe consider a different brand that has a re-usable bag for packaging, or abandoning the product altogether. You seem conflicted, very conflicted.

God, I friggin' love english
God, I friggin' love english muffins and they don't exist in Chile, or are very hard to find. First off: resealabe ziploc bags can be washed and reused, so they don't add much to trash. Second: of course you can store them in the fridge. As far as I know, everyone eats english muffins toasted, not fresh. Ergo, it doesn't matter if the dough gets a little soft or weird in the fridge. This is not like eating a fresh delicious bread from an Italian bakery, which of course, you wouldn't want to refrigerate.
So, original packaging, wrapped up a bit, in the fridge. For the more cautious, a resealable ziploc bag will do it.

Could work, although would have be careful with cellophane ... since a rip likes to run a long way. Not sure if there's another choice locally other than Bay's, but will make a point to look. I blame the manufactures that are clinging to a "traditional" image .... unless those boat provide some form of protection against getting crushed?

You're right about english muffins being able to "rehab" better than most bread products. I also think a packaged english muffin beats a packaged bagel most times, although not sure I've ever had a "fresh" english muffin (vs. the countless fresh bagels I've eaten)?

I tend to get Thomas 12-packs
I tend to get Thomas 12-packs in the supermarket, which are two six packs together in a plastic bag (if I buy at Costco it's an 18-pack). I open one package and dump the muffins into the plastic bag. I freeze the other 6 pack. Then, when the first 6-pack is running out I pour the frozen 6 pack into the same plastic bag.
I don't perceive any benefit to keeping the muffins in their cardboard wrapper (which I recycle). I've heard various theories about them being better that way but I believe the most important factor for maintaining freshness is keeping the air out via a tight seal on the plastic bag. Likewise, I can't discern any difference between "fresh" and previously frozen English muffins once they're toasted. Previously frozen shrimp on the other hand.... For me, a far greater factor in muffin satisfaction is having the proper amount of toastedness. Too little or too much are both big turn offs.
Happy dining!
