Like last week's bread compared to this week's (6)

I believe the answer is:

staler

(Other definitions for staler that I've seen before include "Less fresh, more musty" , "Alters (anag) -- less fresh" , "not so original" , "More musty or mouldy" , "Older and lacking freshness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
