SHOPPERS may soon be charged £1 for a loaf, experts said yesterday.
A nine-year high in the worldwide price of grain is raising the price of bread, cereals and pastry.
Eggs, cheese and dairy products will also cost more as farmers have to shell out more for feed.
Food price hikes have already hit six per cent, said The Grocer magazine. A 100-item shopping basket has risen by more than £10 in the past year - and almost a fiver in the past month.
Some experts claim supermarkets are using the grain hike as an excuse to raise prices.

 

get on the atkins no more bread

 

I thought bread was cheaper than that

 

I better eat as much as I can now. What about pasties? asthey going up, I like pasties

 

I bean paying 1.20 for warburtons gold for 2 years what u on about ....



cheap stuff use only the ends of the seeds no good for u ....

 

Damn Right!

 

No sh*t..

Expect a 'green grain' tax to be introduced by New Labour soon after.....

 

Is there a mistake on the thread date for this? I too have been paying +£1 a loaf for yonks (for Warburtons)...

 

i buy the stuff in the blue and white bags from tesco.... tastes alright..

 

These lot must use asda own 17 pence so they can run cars on optimax pore kids starving....lol

 

Me too, looks like the rest of them are just cheapskates. That cheap bread is like chewing toffee rather than eating bread. Like most things you get what you pay for.

Thats right chip

Asda beans no no.. heinz only they been around 70 years for a reason
cheap washing powder ya clothes still dirty ...
Cheap nappies the **** falls out of them ..

ect ect

 

Decent bread costs more than a quid, anyway?

If you eat the budget crap at 12p a loaf then you're eating pure ****e with no nutritional value at all.

It's like saying - "McDonald's will soon cost you over xxxxxxx".

You get what you pay for.

 

Forecasting the price of bread?? What a sad job!!!!! Nothing better to do with there life. Just imagine a meeting with these people - YAWN!

And what is reqiured to become an expert in this? 3 months looking at supermarket sales.

Experts predict that I just wasted 5 mins typing this.

 

We need pictures with loaf of bread on the head..............ffs get over it you ***** go play bingo.

 

PMSL...
What do they do, employ dwarfs to chop each grain in half.

I pay a fiver for my loaf - how cool am I?

 

Soft commodities, becoming the target of speculators, especially as the Chinese now need more for their wealthier and growing population.

 

all bread goes in 1 hole and comes out of another

id rather pay for the tesco value 9p loaf

Lord Shrek......free range means the chicken gets an extra cm2 of space

 

Get to your local baker and get a fresh baked loaf rather than processed muck for about half that price!

Have you been to a bakers recently, they aint cheap!

I make my own

 

There's nothing nicer than a fresh, warm, crusty loaf from the bakers laden with real butter, mmmm...

Such a shame it's so unhealthy

 

That's what we do Tastes a hell of a lot nicer too, especially with some nice crumbly cheese

 

I pay £1.19, no idea what make it is, I'd be chuffed with a £1 loaf!

 

this is the stuff you want to buy

Warburtons Seeded Batch Loaf : Read reviews and compare prices at Ciao.co.uk

 

Wait a second - there's a website for reviews on loaves of bread?

The developed world truly has gone mad.

 

So yet MORE things rising in price, yet government inflation figures are still only 2.5% - thats an accurate calculation ....

I think the only items which are getting cheaper or staying the same in price are cheap electronics and other stuff from China, however when they will rise a fair bit when China revalues its currency - then inflation and hence interest rates will be up sharply!
