Funny you should mention bread. Went to Stop and Shop yesterday and they have removed about 80% of their name brand bread in favor of the S&S house brand. No more Homepride Bread.

Re: 10$ 4 a loaf of bread & a gallon of milk
Same thing here in Aus.

Loaf of regular name brand bread...$3 to $5 dollars.

2 litre cartom of regular name brand milk..$4 to $5 dollars.

Homebrand stuff id about $3 dollars cheaper overall.

In any case..ya still need a tenner to get a loaf and a carton..and IF you get change its not much.

Re: 10$ 4 a loaf of bread & a gallon of milk
yep, was at the store last night and the whole grain breads are $3.99. $3.99?! are you effin' kidding me?

the same general weekly groceries that were about $150 a year ago are now costing me $200 and even that's starting to creep up towards $210-$220 lately. as a matter of fact, it's prob less groceries than i used to get bc i've been trying to get back down to the $150 mark but it's like an impossible dream.

i usually get a gal of store brand 2% milk for about 2.89 tho

yes it is but my point is that a loaf and a litre should last one adult for one week and even after the price rises of the last two years I don't find 3 bucks a week for my milk and bread to be that expensive. think of the costs and labour involved in selling those products at that price in this climate.

Yes, it's terrible OP. Since we can't change it, we have to find ways to survive around it.

Find out if you have a bakery outlet store near you. I get bread there for $1.00 a loaf.

Milk is outrageous, see is rice or soy milk is any cheaper.

I can't afford these prices either, so I'm always trying to find a way to stretch a buck anyway that I can. It's hard.

Re: 10$ 4 a loaf of bread & a gallon of milk
Yep, everything is crazy expensive.


Bought two black ink replacement cartridges today, BAM, $90 gone like that! Cheap DeskKet HP printer sucks the ink up like crazy. That should be illegal. It is more expensive then gold.

Thinking of outsourcing the printing of my bills and to-do lists to India.

All joking aside, EVERYTHING is more expensive. Like you started with, even the staples food products. Just crazy.

Okay, I like to eat simple but well so at Stop and Shop I get a loaf of Ezekiel Bread (in the freezer section) for about $5.99. But I'm getting ready to make the famous no-knead bread using Einkorn flour ($4.20) for 2lbs of flour.

Most breads in the store are full of additives.

I bake my own bread, and use powdered milk, which is far cheaper than the regular kind. How much milk do we really need to drink?

I use canned milk in mine, easy to keep around, mix in a bit of water, anyway, here's a recipe for way less than a dollar a loaf, probably only about 30 cents or so.

Might want to look at getting some sacks of hard red winter wheat and storing it well. One can make some tolerable and quite filling and nutritious sprouted wheat "pralines" (I add brown sugar and chopped nuts)

That's what our biblical ancestors ate mostly..... yum!

This is how governments and banks are able to steal as much as possible from you. Not only do they tax you up front, but they also come at you from behind by devaluing the currency by printing up more debt-backed money... which also depresses your purchasing power.

But this is what you want, isn't it? Keep voting for socialists.
