How much is a loaf of bread?

I bought an unsliced large seeded loaf from Sainsbury and at breakfast DH said ' this is nice how much is it?' 'Not the faintest' I replied. It used to be the sort of thing people kept an eye on- does anyone here without looking know what the price of their bread is?

Milk 64p a pint. Delivered from a local farm in glass bottles.

I was going to say that too. £2.99 for a small gluten free loaf which tastes horrid anyway( toasted is tolerable). The cynic in me says that its like having a captive audience

Warburton's seeded batch is what DH prefers and it is £1.45. I would be happy with the cheaper Aldi version but DH swears by Warburton’s. It does last us a long time as neither of us are big bread eaters for health reasons. We usually freeze half of it in one or two slices and toast it straight from the freezer, the other half we use for making sandwiches.

Yes Willow500 I remember the mini Hovis loaves, thanks for reminding me.

If you ve got a BandM near you Jane they sell Warburtons bread at a much lower price than the main supermarkets I like the seeded ones
And their small jars of (real) Bovril are £1.35 about half the supermarket ones
Catwoman are you sure you’re pressing post message hard enough
I m like another poster said I know all the prices as I go round I don’t necessarily remember them afterwards but I do remember which shops have the bargains ?

I buy a Warburtin’s sliced wholemesl for about £1.30in Tesco’s, keep it in the fridge and pop it straight in the toaster for the OH’s breakfast. He makes sandwiches from it frozen which defrost in minutes so the loaf will last a week.

We do like proper artisan bread which is very expensive, though. I have seen it at around £3 a loaf or more on the farmer’s market and that is too pricey for us. I buy a kilo of brown spelt flour for £2,20 a bag and use half every week to make two small (and delicious) loaves) which I slice, freeze and defrost when I need it at the weekend. It also toasts straight from frozen. Of course the bread needs other ingredients and the oven costs a bit to put on so it is a little more than £1.05 a week.

I could not afford not to know what bread costs!

I bought a large unsliced seeded loaf in Tesco yesterday. I think it was £1.20. I was very nice mopping up the gravy of beef stew my aunty made! (I just wish I could find a blanket as I'm frozen and don't like to presume to put her heating on, she's still sleeping!)

IT not I (coz the would be weird if I was mopping up the gravy ?)

£1.80 for a large Heyford in Waitrose . The only reason I know is because I wanted to see how the prices compared at the new bakery where I work .

I might not know the price of bread but I feel that I know enough to feel ripped off, here in St Ives, having just paid £6 for a ham and cheese filled roll!

I buy my bread from an independent organic baker which means it costs £3 a loaf which I keep in the freezer taking out a slice or two at a time, works well for me, is full of flavour and nutrition. Supermarket bread seems to give me a lot of wind!

I don't know the price of the bread I buy but just know I enjoy it and would eat lots more if I could!

I’d just love to find a thin sliced loaf of bread somewhere. Dainty sandwiches are delicious and surely it would help with current obesity problems as well as being cheaper on a slice by slice basis.

Depends on the quality of the bread I would think.
