How much is a loaf of bread?

It all depends on what you refer to as 'a loaf' !

My OH likes either 'Best of Both type' or 'Granary' - but he's fine with having supermarket's own brand of both - so it's from 55p, up to £1.40 for his bread.

I'm Coeliac, so bread is an entirely different 'ball-game' for me. I can 'get away with' as little as £1.20 for a small, 'supermarket own brand Gluten Free Loaf' - or up to something like £3.20 for a very nice (but not very big), 'Warburton's Gluten Free Artisan Loaf'.

My husband has a large seeded bloomer from our local bread shop each week -£2.35!
Like MawBroon it is sliced and frozen and lasts a week.
I have a wholemeal thick sliced loaf from Lidl's -45p
I freeze it so that too lasts a week.
I used to love Chelsea buns but am so appalled at the price that I won't buy them now.
Iced buns which used to cost pennies are now well over £1

We are not eating bread at the moment but when we do we buy a sliced multigrain wholemeal loaf which has 16 slices and costs €2.39. So not cheapfor 680g I shop online for my son's food in England and his favourite sliced tiger bread is £1 a loaf or two for £1.60 from Iceland.

I’m not sure either how much a loaf is, but sure as, it will go up this winter. The grain harvest is down because of the drought in the south. My son in law is getting a good price for his grain, but ourselves who have livestock to feed through the winter will have to pay out an extra £3000 this year. Swings and roundabouts!

Danish butter £2 for 2.50grm.

I have a small Lakeland bread maker. Just make the dough, half whole meal half white and this makes two small loaves. Also make fruit loaves. Freeze bread. I don’t like all the additives in factory made bread.

£1.19; interestingly I asked DH how much he thought his (I don’t eat it) favourite Danish butter cost, - answer ‘about £2’, he was shocked when I informed him £5.50, no suggestion of looking for a less expensive one though!

I either buy from my local shop (he gets it from our local baker's shop), 99p for small uncut white or £1.10 for small brown seeded uncut or I buy from Co-op, I love their Vintage Cheddar & Onion bread which is about £1.80. I also buy other loaves from Co-op ranging in price from £1 - £1-90. I don't eat lots of bread & never buy mass produced bread.

I pay about £1.60 for a Brennans sliced pan. It seems very expensive but it's lovely bread. I've heard Lidl are going to stock it, so wait with anticipation to see what they charge.

You freeze whole sliced loaf in its wrapping. Take out one or two slices and put straight in the toaster

A bit off topic but, how do you freeze/thaw bread?! I don’t eat that much of it but occasionally fancy beans on toast and end up throwing most of the loaf away (even the small ones). I’ve tried dividing up the slices and putting them into freezer bags but, when I defrost them, they just turn to mush! I don’t have a microwave, so is it the natural thawing process that makes them go that way? I don’t mind the wasting money as much as the thought of throwing away food when there are so many hungry people in the world. (On the other hand, I don’t want to give up my beans on toast comfort food! ) Any good tips Gransnetters?

8oog wholemeal multiseed sliced loaf from Lidl at 79p- makes fantastic toast.

Hovis in Morrisons 1.05 or 2 for 2.00 at the mo, their own brand of wholemeal bread is 53p i believe. We prefer the Hovis but sometimes resort to the own brand if no medium sliced Hovis available, we dont do the thick cut.

I bake all my white bread, as I can bake six loaves for the price of a shop-bought one, which tastes a lot less than half as good.

I buy the cheapest packed of sliced rye bread I can find and pay the equivalent of 60 p for ten slices.

I'm with KatyK too.Must be nice not to notice.

I either buy a small wholemeal from M&S £1 or a Multi seeded small loaf from the local baker at £1.60 they slice it for me and it does seem to last longer than shop bought bread.

No idea as we rarely eat bread. However as a treat it is a Low GI loaf from Lidl.

It’s not necessarily because you’re ‘lazy’ if you don’t know prices - I only look at prices when I’m actually shopping, and buy the ‘best deal’ which is a combination of price, quality and what I like. In particular I look at unit prices (often with the coffee I buy, the one in the glass jar is cheaper per 100g than the refill packet and ‘volume deals’ are not always cheaper)

But once I’ve finished shopping, I really couldn’t tell you how much the bread or butter or milk actually cost - it’s not really relevant until the next time I go shopping (and by then it’s likely to have changed anyway!)

We like seedy bread which is around 80p from Lidl, but £2:20ish from the independent baker a few doors away!
My husband likes to support them, but I don't even think it is a nice.

DH makes our bread by hand, which is delicious and can be a cheaper option than shop-bought bread. However he has started buying high quality flour (e.g. milled locally, by a small producer) so I don't know that this is cheaper than "shop" bread. Willow 500, I remember the mini Hovis loaf! I used to buy one for dolls' tea parties.

I’ve no idea as hubby enjoys and does the food shopping. I only get involved if buying artesan bread when I see a nice independent bakery. Even then, I point, he pays so I still have no idea of any food prices these days.

I buy Aldi's 50/50, under 50 pence standard size loaf .....

Teetime, I know what you mean but we have always looked at the prices...then moaned like heck!
I have to say that we buy Aldi's white bread when we shop there but it just isn't as nice as Hovis. However, I don't eat bread very often and not having the expensive stuff makes it less tempting to do so.

My lovely Tesco seeded sliced loaf is £1.10, (I normally buy sliced, because I'm Type 1 diabetic and control my insulin by carb units - unsliced is difficult to judge no of units, whereas sliced tells me on the pack) but bread is now normally between 1.10 and 1.40, depending on what you buy. But DH enjoys breadmaking and forced me to dispose of my breadmaker!)

10p I buy yellow sticker bread only always get the posh ones pumpkin and honey date and walnut etc it's a game in my house sort the best bargain breaks up shopping bordom
