That would be 3s 10d to 5s 10d .... for my last bread trip then? And I know it wasn't that expensive. I remember my Mum complaining it was heading up to 1s 0d per loaf.

The bottom line is there is not enough food to go round the planet...

I invariably buy the cheapest ones in store, and sometimes they are reduced to clear. Makes little difference to me when they're due to go out of date because I freeze them

100% inflation in the price of rice in one year!

Are you getting the message ?
