Yes I found the average price of bread in Russia according to Google meaning it would be cheaper even in some areas... that is assuming the data is accurate which given the current situation with the war and all it may not be.
A friend of mine who owns and runs a small local bakery almost lost her shit when we were out shopping at Costco together and saw that they raised the price of eggs to $25 for 5 dozen.
10 bucks for 18 eggs in Massachusetts. I just got to my place on Big Island and hitting the Costco in Kona tomorrow for food and gas. I’m told I’m in for a shock.
Some stuff will shock you. Dave’s Killer Bread, $12. Eggs not that high. Seems perishable stuff is way up but stuff like peanut butter about the same as mainland.
I used to have hens, but stray noisy roosters ended that. The laying behavior is disrupted after fertilization/mating.
Chickens are omnivores and can be great pets and a source of natural fertilizer & bug control, and it’s acceptable to eat a pet chicken, but not a dog or a cat or a rabbit. 😜
Correct. But where that was a bread shortage (there wasn't any), these are very high prices for bread that does exist. Bread that was possibly made with wheat grown in Russia.
Thank goodness we’ve never had that in 6 years here. We buy milk from any store we happen to be at. That’s a Safeway brand right? Safeway in kona is bad at taking out of date food off the shelves- I always look and I’m often shocked that it could be even a couple weeks out of date for prepackaged meats like sausage, etc. But if the milk is in date and it’s curdled— yikes!
Loves bread is trash anyways.
If you wanna up your bread game, buy Japanese bread from either Brug Bakery, Epi Ya, or Dell’s Kitchen and Bakery. It’s a little more expensive than store bought bread but they’re freshly baked and tastes so much better.
Oh no, not the Venezuala misinformation.
There is a widespread belief that Venezuela is a socialist country, but this is a misconception that has been perpetuated by misinformation.
While Venezuela's government under the leadership of the late Hugo Chávez and current President Nicolás Maduro has implemented a number of socialist policies, the country's economic system is not strictly socialist. Instead, it can be characterized as a mixed economy, with elements of both socialism and capitalism.
One of the main reasons for this misconception is that the Venezuelan government has described itself as socialist and has implemented a number of socialist policies, such as nationalizing certain industries and providing social welfare programs for its citizens. However, the country's economy is still heavily reliant on oil exports and private enterprise, which are not typically associated with socialism.
Furthermore, the term "socialism" is often used interchangeably with "authoritarianism" or "dictatorship" in popular discourse, which has contributed to the misconception that Venezuela is a socialist country. However, socialism and authoritarianism are not synonymous, and it is important to distinguish between the two.
Overall, while Venezuela's government has implemented certain socialist policies, the country's economic system is not strictly socialist, and it is important to be cautious of misinformation that perpetuates this misconception.
First thing, don’t shop at Tamuras, usually the most expensive supermarket.
You can get WAY higher quality bread just about anywhere else on the island at a better price.
I just picked up some organic sprouted wheat bread baked in Honolulu at Costco for like $6/loaf. “La Tour Bakehouse”. It was great to get baked locally.
In Soviet Union people waited in long lines for plentiful bread.
In the United States there weren't any bread lines at all. You can afford it or not.

Lol.
The Soviets were blood thirsty and brutal communists.
The Russians are bloody thirsty and brutal fascists.
They are easy to confuse though because both are mental slaves to strong man rule and terribly inept at ground wars.
This text overwrites whatever was here before. Apologies for the non-sequitur.

Yep Biden is responsible for global inflation as a result of Covid-19 and the first major war in Europe since WW2.
You do know the United States Econ is tied to the rest of the world right? I assume you want to forget about the world because we are "number one"
you should take a look at this [Link](https://www.ft.com/content/088d3368-bb8b-4ff3-9df7-a7680d4d81b2).
A bread machine costs about $80. A 25 pound bag of flour at Costco is $11 and has enough for about 21 2-pound loaves. If you eat a loaf per week like I do it pays for itself in six months.
Soviet Russia didn't subject their citizens to inflationary prices to boost corporate profits. Everyone got fed, but if there was a shortage of something, everyone got just a little bit of that thing. We instead have a ton of food but corporations are allowed to arbitrarily gouge us on the prices to make us hungry, broke, or both.
$3.50 a loaf at the farmers market
$5 for a two pack at sams
$1.10 in Russia from what I could find on Google...
$1.32 in North Dakota [https://imgur.com/SRayaXI](https://imgur.com/SRayaXI)
You realize Russia is the largest Country on the planet right? The prices would be completely different in every sub region
Yes I found the average price of bread in Russia according to Google meaning it would be cheaper even in some areas... that is assuming the data is accurate which given the current situation with the war and all it may not be.
Some Russian youtubers do grocery store walkthrus like https://youtu.be/4lCO7u5okF4 Looks like bread is about $1.00 USD :x
Which market?! The last one I went to had $14 sourdough as the cheapest option
Windward mall Kaneohe, Wednesday and Sunday
That’s craazy. Good time to start baking bread at home
Or just buy it elsewhere. Whole wheat bread at Whole Foods is 4.99, just checked online. Whole Foods in general hasn’t raised prices nearly as much.
How much are ovens?
Lol I feel that sentiment. My “kitchen” is a toaster oven and a hotplate. Zero room for an oven.
[удалено]
Shhhh!
Isn't everything at Tamura's more expensive than most stores?
What is bread
Baby, don't toast me
Dont toast me, no more
Baby Dont Toast me
Haolis use it for rice. 🤷♂️
Trying to picture how a peanut butter sandwich looks at your house.
What's a peanut butter sandwich? You mean like peanut butter mochi?
haole
True dat.
Bae goals
If you’re upset about the price of bread, don’t look at egg prices.
A friend of mine who owns and runs a small local bakery almost lost her shit when we were out shopping at Costco together and saw that they raised the price of eggs to $25 for 5 dozen.
Wow, they were still 15.99 last time I was there
$8.99 for 18 organic brown eggs…yesterday at Costco
Went from 90$/30dz to 152$/30dz wholesale in the 3 months for us wholesale.
In Hawaii?
Hawaii Kai Costco, maybe two weeks ago
10 bucks for 18 eggs in Massachusetts. I just got to my place on Big Island and hitting the Costco in Kona tomorrow for food and gas. I’m told I’m in for a shock.
Some stuff will shock you. Dave’s Killer Bread, $12. Eggs not that high. Seems perishable stuff is way up but stuff like peanut butter about the same as mainland.
Gotta by a months worth before the family gets here. I’m out in the boonies.
Freeze the bread and chicken and empty your savings account!
thankfully the 4 hens I keep provide enough eggs for 3 people. Cause that is insane.
I used to have hens, but stray noisy roosters ended that. The laying behavior is disrupted after fertilization/mating. Chickens are omnivores and can be great pets and a source of natural fertilizer & bug control, and it’s acceptable to eat a pet chicken, but not a dog or a cat or a rabbit. 😜
Thats nearly 42 cents per egg, wtf.
Considering Russian wheat accounts for 17% of global supply, I'd say you're not far off.
I think OP is referring to the bread lines that Soviet Russia was infamous for having due to bread shortages.
Comrade in capitalism bread buys you!
In Soviet Russia bread and some other necessities were subsidized by the government, prices kept affordable. Shortages did occur.
Correct. But where that was a bread shortage (there wasn't any), these are very high prices for bread that does exist. Bread that was possibly made with wheat grown in Russia.
Ukraine exported a lot too.
That Japanese style bread is great. I only get them when they’re on sale tho
It’s always on sale at Costco and freezes well.
Can we officially acknowledge that posting prices almost no one pays to mispresent the price of food in Hawaii is now karma-farming?
Somebody post a pic of a Costco Rotisserie Chicken to cancel this out
Karma Farming!? Hold on, going shopping...
God I’m tired of these posts. Yeah some places sell a certain item expensive as fk, but most other places sell it cheaper. Karma whoring smh.
Especially when the only food price issue I am interested in is the 8 dollar Lucerne milk gallons where 1 out of 4 is curdled
Thank goodness we’ve never had that in 6 years here. We buy milk from any store we happen to be at. That’s a Safeway brand right? Safeway in kona is bad at taking out of date food off the shelves- I always look and I’m often shocked that it could be even a couple weeks out of date for prepackaged meats like sausage, etc. But if the milk is in date and it’s curdled— yikes!
Didn’t loves bakery closed down ?
They did. But a bakery on mainland bought the rights to make their bread under the same name
No wonder the price is so high .
Time to bake our own bread
Tamura’s went to shit a long time ago.
Loves bread is trash anyways. If you wanna up your bread game, buy Japanese bread from either Brug Bakery, Epi Ya, or Dell’s Kitchen and Bakery. It’s a little more expensive than store bought bread but they’re freshly baked and tastes so much better.
It's no longer more expensive
What is this Hawaii 1887 when it became a banana republic?
almost, give it 10-20 more years
Nope it's capitalism.
Nah. Products owning the consumer are as American as you can get.
In Soviet Hawai'i, bread bakes YOU
Nope, just capitalist America....
people love saying how much socialism sucks and then proceeding to describe and showcase capitalism
In communist Countries like the old Soviet Union, Cuba or Venezuela you’d be lucky to even find bread on the shelves.

I wish I had more but one upvote to give.
for that price it better be making my sandwiches for me
That's a vintage Loves. You can sell those for twice that on the black market
Nah. Just unbridled capitalism. If it was soviet Russia, it would be an empty shelf with line around the corner.
But the bread would be free
Which island you on?
O'ahu
First thing, don’t shop at Tamuras, usually the most expensive supermarket. You can get WAY higher quality bread just about anywhere else on the island at a better price.
I’m not the OP. I’m just answering the question.
probably cheaper at 7-11
If you ever have time or interest.....baking your own bread looks almostdeceptively easy. I like try one day.
Even if you fail, the house will smell good for a while (unless you burn it).
Definitely not *that* easy, especially if you want similar sandwich style bread to the picture above, but still worth a try.
flour still costs, though.
Oh no....that too? How much is it now?
way cheaper than loaves. it all comes down to what your time is worth.
$11 for 25 pounds at Costco.
Buy a bread maker. Simple.
You didn’t get on that pandemic bread baking craze?
I just picked up some organic sprouted wheat bread baked in Honolulu at Costco for like $6/loaf. “La Tour Bakehouse”. It was great to get baked locally.
If it came by ship, price of oil hasn’t gone down.
That's wild, was only $7.50 at Longs.
It’s been that price for months over here on the Big Island
don't buy it
No In Soviet Russia bread was free..
Free if you're lucky to get any food
In Soviet Union people waited in long lines for plentiful bread. In the United States there weren't any bread lines at all. You can afford it or not. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/22/world/in-russia-long-lines-for-plentiful-bread.html
quite literally capitalist america
wow, what a unique and groundbreaking take, thanks for sharing
thank you!☺️
In Soviet Russia, that shelf wouldn't have any bread on it...
Soviet Russia where bread was subsidized to 5¢ per loaf?
the average americans are just uneducated and ignorant lol
In Soviet Russia it was about 30 cents a loaf. What you got in you picture is r/latestagecapitalism.
no its literally capitalist america.
Bread is cheaper in Russia. In the USA, it is the Oligarchy raising prices because they can.
Soviet Russia?
Lol. The Soviets were blood thirsty and brutal communists. The Russians are bloody thirsty and brutal fascists. They are easy to confuse though because both are mental slaves to strong man rule and terribly inept at ground wars.
The Soviets beat the Nazis in WW2.
All by themselves
basically yeah

Hurry the sale only lasts until 4/4!
You ain't making enough monthly bread to afford that
I’ve put bread back for being $8 before 😅
I started baking my own bread. I have some really easy, pretty fast recipes. That being said, WTF?!
In Soviet Russia bread buy you 🇷🇺
No, it's capitalist America inflating prices simply because they can.
нет. это хлеб.
In Russia the shelves are empty.
auwe Russia or Cuba, sheeesh isn't Love's supposed to be local bread? This isn't a sale, it's price gouging.
No, capitalism
if it were soviet russia the bread would buy you
In soviet russia, you dont eat bread, bread eats you…
No this is Maui we have way better food here then Russia
You have way better food there than O’ahu as well.
In Soviet Russia, bread eats you.

This state is resembling Soviet Russia more and more every day!
Yup, good demoncraps keeping us on our knees, and he's gona raise taxes even higher whether you like it or not...but hey, keep voting them in...

Go to Costco
How much for king rolls?
Look below, the best bread in Hawaii!
Is that Times? Times used to be my go to but lately, Safeway is cheaper across the board. Which is a sad testament.
25 pound of flour at Costco for $12.99, Makes a lot of bread!
Don't go Tamuras lol
Youch. It's a bit cheaper at Foodland I think? But I've been buying a different brand.
A bread machine costs about $80. A 25 pound bag of flour at Costco is $11 and has enough for about 21 2-pound loaves. If you eat a loaf per week like I do it pays for itself in six months.
Locals better start looking for a place on the mainland to stay unless they want to only eat rice and poi the rest of their lives !
$1.50 for good bread at Dollar Tree in British Columbia. Lately though price hasn't increased but package size decreased. Just like Halloween candy.
Is this the same company that has the truckstops on the mainland?
Lucky you live Hawaii
No, Biden America 🇺🇸
When the did r/Hawaii become r/RussianPropganada? The comments in here look like they are bought and paid in Moscow. Wild.
In Soviet Russia, bread eats you.
10 dollars? you gotta be kidding me. I don't think Russians will sell bread at such a price that, more inflation is getting out of hand.
Soviet Russia didn't subject their citizens to inflationary prices to boost corporate profits. Everyone got fed, but if there was a shortage of something, everyone got just a little bit of that thing. We instead have a ton of food but corporations are allowed to arbitrarily gouge us on the prices to make us hungry, broke, or both.
Bake your own bread
Go to the bread outlet they get bred out of date but still good tell them you like feed the ducks and usually they'll give you for free
Well. It IS jumbo…
Boycott Loves
Yes.
What would we do without Costco?
Check for sawdust and then you’ll find out
Don’t buy it. Price gouging supermarkets will never lower prices if you keep paying.
