[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 8139969, member: 127792"] 700g of wheat to make a standard loaf of bread. (white) 1428 loaves from a ton. At 180/t = 12p. At £400/t = 28p. I reckon that the cost of running my breadmaker has gone up 7p a standard loaf just from the electricity side. Contrast this to the cost of running a car or filling up the kero tank and it really is nothing for us in the affluent west. Could cut the cost of bread by mandating everyone buy brown bread. I wouldnt like to hazard a guess at how many households throw away the end crusts of a loaf of white sliced.... There is no point in raising rates. This is all external factors and the only way through is to tighten belts. For reference, a "strawberry and mint iced tea" at Costa Coffee is £3.20 for almost zero nutritional value. Throw in a cheese toastie and a chocolate tiffin and youve spaffed £9.70 on some fancy water; two slices of bread with some cheese in the middle; and sugar you dont need. [/QUOTE]
