Mouth hanging open this morning - brown bread up 15p per loaf in local bakery, from £1.00 to £1.15.

Yikes

let them eat cake

Oh Monsieur. Wiz zis sharpe guillotine you're really spoiling us.

Indeed - quick you ONS goons - switch bread for cake!

I bought a Warburton's Toastie for £1.18 in Tesco. They were 87p or thereabouts last year. Beans on toast is staring to get expensive.

I can see the VAT receipts dwindling already.

Gas prices are on the up as well. Why not buy some tubing and "earn while you eat?".

Fear not our Glorious Unelected Leader will supply us with NulabErsatz Bread for 10p per loaf! Rejoice Citizens as sawdust production has trippled and all will be feed!!

I really do get annoyed with the inflation cover up by the government. I have definitely noticed the increase week after week of the shopping bill going up. So I've planted just about every seed going this year for a bumper crop of veg. Plus I gather any suitable containers lying aroung afor added growing space. Most of the bread in the supermarkets is disgusting and seems to have a chemical smell. Better get a bread maker as well I suppose.

15% I bet he kneeds the dough.

I've been doing that. Breadmaker cost about £25 from amazon with free delivery. You can make it by hand but it takes a bit longer. Loaves cost about 25p to make (less if you buy flour in bulk) and taste a lot better than chorleywood-process bread from the shops. You can also make cakes and marmalade in the machine.

It would be Brown bread, wouldn't it?!

And things aren't going to get better.

It horrifies me seeing how much things are going up.

..medium sliced wholemeal standard loaf at Aldi 55p ....not a 'Brand'....shop smart.....

Time to dust off the chest freezer in the garage at our rental place and fill it with loaves.

Might dust off the breadmaker as well.

I'm still a bit wary of the Albanian bone flour they use in those.

...you need to keep up to date....they are more Teutonic than Albanian....

Aldi's product range has won a string of quality awards, beating the own-label foods of bigger supermarkets.

...your descriptive powers are ambitious....

So how would you describe it? Like sawdust, cardboard? I'll just stick with calling it sh ite and you just carry on ramping Aldi

....you stick to your enhanced descriptive powers ....and I didn't write the article.....I'm no VI....

Let's hope you're boss notices your impassioned and determined defence of Aldi's "medium sliced wholemeal standard loaf" for 55p a shot. He'll probably be so impressed he'll promote you to chief shelf stacker.

And BTW what's with all the grumpy at the end of all your posts. Try cheering up a bit you miserable tw@t

....I am my own boss ....and very happy with that.....pleased to see your vocabulary has expanded....

I'm delighted for you and relieved to see that you've finally shed the grumpy face

I'm just off to toast a couple of slices of, very expensive, Warburtons for me dinner

I foresee some pretty confusing cockney inspired headlines:

"Brown's brown bread after brown bread price hike"

It's a no-brainer in my book

Requires virtualy no skill and takes just 5 mins effort to make a loaf in the breadmaker, which is less than the time to visit the local shop. You don't even need to wash the tin, because the bread comes out clean every time. Even with the cost of the electricity it's still cheaper than factory bread, and much nicer.

Also we seem to save a lot of money by not visting the local shop to buy bread and buying loads of other stuff we dont realy need while we're there!

Get a room loverboyz.......

Cheeky!

Aye!

What you need is a two-pronged approach. Breadmaker AND freezing.

We have got our bread loaf price down to around 10p a loaf (of quality fancy supermarket bread) by going in when the bread is marked down (usually after 6pm where we are) and buying seven or eight loaves and just freezing them.

Then when we run out, we just breadmake. I wouldn't dream of buying a loaf unless it had been reduced.

I also have a chest freezer full of quality mince and argentinian steak at around £1 a packet.

But then I am a 'supermiser'.

This is very true and a real danger. Everytime I go into my local shop to buy a loaf I somehow always end up buying a ripple as well

Are you mad!?

That's exactly what I do as far as bread is concerned.

...but where do you get the Argentinian beef from ?

A nice old lady from Grantham sold them it, she said it fell off the back of the Belgrano...

(PS - you might want to check the date on it...)

Soylent Brown is... PEOPLE
