Bread Prices around the world?
The post by althetrainer asking about pricing bread got me thinking. How much does bread cost around the world as compared to the hourly or daily wage? For instance, here Joe Blow (not to be confused with Joe the Plumber) makes $8 an hour (above minimum wage), my bread averages $4.50 a loaf, so it's costing him around half an hour of work.
I'm curious how much a decent baguette (from a baker, not a supermarket) would cost in France and how that compares to Jacques Blow's (that's the best I could come up with) wage.
How about other parts of the world?
Of course there are going to be large ranges of salaries and prices on bread, but it would be interesting to hear some international input.
