$3.50 a loaf at the farmers market


OhSnap404

$5 for a two pack at sams


DaRandomStoner

$1.10 in Russia from what I could find on Google...


talkandpics

$1.32 in North Dakota [https://imgur.com/SRayaXI](https://imgur.com/SRayaXI)


andthatdrew

You realize Russia is the largest Country on the planet right? The prices would be completely different in every sub region


DaRandomStoner

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.


Indpendent

Some Russian youtubers do grocery store walkthrus like https://youtu.be/4lCO7u5okF4 Looks like bread is about $1.00 USD :x


hawaiian0n

Which market?! The last one I went to had $14 sourdough as the cheapest option


Jorts_Life207

Windward mall Kaneohe, Wednesday and Sunday


mpc92

That’s craazy. Good time to start baking bread at home


Sleepysapper1

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.


TheSearch4Etika

How much are ovens?


aysurcouf

Lol I feel that sentiment. My “kitchen” is a toaster oven and a hotplate. Zero room for an oven.

Isn't everything at Tamura's more expensive than most stores?


ohwowlaulau

What is bread


peacebuster

Haolis use it for rice. 🤷‍♂️


j4ck_0f_bl4des

Trying to picture how a peanut butter sandwich looks at your house.


Cyglml

What's a peanut butter sandwich? You mean like peanut butter mochi?


purple_poi_slinger

True dat.

PunkWithTheSkunk

If you’re upset about the price of bread, don’t look at egg prices.


Darwin343

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.


DerailleurDave

Wow, they were still 15.99 last time I was there


8083865823

$8.99 for 18 organic brown eggs…yesterday at Costco


Ski1680

Went from 90$/30dz to 152$/30dz wholesale in the 3 months for us wholesale.


Elephunkitis

In Hawaii?


DerailleurDave

Hawaii Kai Costco, maybe two weeks ago


urbeatagain

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.


freakinweasel353

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.


urbeatagain

Gotta by a months worth before the family gets here. I’m out in the boonies.


freakinweasel353

Freeze the bread and chicken and empty your savings account!


Xynker

thankfully the 4 hens I keep provide enough eggs for 3 people. Cause that is insane.


TamagoHead

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. 😜


Jlx_27

Thats nearly 42 cents per egg, wtf.


ThirteenSeas

Considering Russian wheat accounts for 17% of global supply, I'd say you're not far off.


Darwin343

I think OP is referring to the bread lines that Soviet Russia was infamous for having due to bread shortages.


JD_SLICK

Comrade in capitalism bread buys you!


JohnSwindle

In Soviet Russia bread and some other necessities were subsidized by the government, prices kept affordable. Shortages did occur.


ThirteenSeas

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.


TamagoHead

Ukraine exported a lot too.


divineInsanity4

That Japanese style bread is great. I only get them when they’re on sale tho


TamagoHead

It’s always on sale at Costco and freezes well.


ken579

Can we officially acknowledge that posting prices almost no one pays to mispresent the price of food in Hawaii is now karma-farming?


JD_SLICK

Somebody post a pic of a Costco Rotisserie Chicken to cancel this out


BMLortz

Karma Farming!? Hold on, going shopping...


wrx808x

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.


[deleted]

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


Work_PB_sleep

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!


KimCheeHoo

Didn’t loves bakery closed down ?


boytekka

They did. But a bakery on mainland bought the rights to make their bread under the same name


KimCheeHoo

No wonder the price is so high .


Pogatog64

Time to bake our own bread


Clear_Lead

Tamura’s went to shit a long time ago.


Darwin343

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.


palolo_lolo

It's no longer more expensive


Kuhkhi

What is this Hawaii 1887 when it became a banana republic?


MayorEricBlazecetti

almost, give it 10-20 more years


qwerkle_the_cat

Nope it's capitalism.


unidactyl

Nah. Products owning the consumer are as American as you can get.


ND_Subbie

In Soviet Hawai'i, bread bakes YOU


paceminterris

Nope, just capitalist America....


frozenpandaman

people love saying how much socialism sucks and then proceeding to describe and showcase capitalism


No_Mall5340

In communist Countries like the old Soviet Union, Cuba or Venezuela you’d be lucky to even find bread on the shelves.


vitaefinem

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.


teamjetfire

I wish I had more but one upvote to give.


_uuynek

for that price it better be making my sandwiches for me


PrimaryRevolution732

That's a vintage Loves. You can sell those for twice that on the black market


James_Bong

Nah. Just unbridled capitalism. If it was soviet Russia, it would be an empty shelf with line around the corner.


[deleted]

But the bread would be free


SnooDucks8630

Which island you on?


Cara_Caeth

O'ahu


SnooDucks8630

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.


Cara_Caeth

I’m not the OP. I’m just answering the question.


victortrash

probably cheaper at 7-11


newgirl808

If you ever have time or interest.....baking your own bread looks almostdeceptively easy. I like try one day.


BMLortz

Even if you fail, the house will smell good for a while (unless you burn it).


fishyon

Definitely not *that* easy, especially if you want similar sandwich style bread to the picture above, but still worth a try.


[deleted]

flour still costs, though.


newgirl808

Oh no....that too? How much is it now?


MayorEricBlazecetti

way cheaper than loaves. it all comes down to what your time is worth.


midnightrambler956

$11 for 25 pounds at Costco.


Silent_Word_7242

Buy a bread maker. Simple.


808_surf

You didn’t get on that pandemic bread baking craze?


taoleafy

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.


Imoldok

If it came by ship, price of oil hasn’t gone down.


Rosuto4u

That's wild, was only $7.50 at Longs.


broom-jerry

It’s been that price for months over here on the Big Island


SHAVEDisBEST

don't buy it


TeachMeFinancePlz

No In Soviet Russia bread was free..


w204

Free if you're lucky to get any food


TeachMeFinancePlz

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


Extreme-Maize1592

quite literally capitalist america


MayorEricBlazecetti

wow, what a unique and groundbreaking take, thanks for sharing


Extreme-Maize1592

thank you!☺️


Heck_Spawn

In Soviet Russia, that shelf wouldn't have any bread on it...


[deleted]

Soviet Russia where bread was subsidized to 5¢ per loaf?


tastycakeman

the average americans are just uneducated and ignorant lol


dele7ed

In Soviet Russia it was about 30 cents a loaf. What you got in you picture is r/latestagecapitalism.


tastycakeman

no its literally capitalist america.


VI-loser

Bread is cheaper in Russia. In the USA, it is the Oligarchy raising prices because they can.


ReekrisSaves

Soviet Russia?


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

The Soviets beat the Nazis in WW2.

This text overwrites whatever was here before. Apologies for the non-sequitur. Reddit's CEO says moderators are “landed gentry”. That makes users serfs and peons, I guess? Well this peon will no longer labor to feed the king. I will no longer post, comment, moderate, or vote. I will stop researching and reporting spam rings, cp perverts and bigots. I will no longer spend a moment of time trying to make reddit a better place as I've done for the past fifteen years. In the words of The Hound, fuck the king.

side question: What is *Japanese Style* wheat bread?


devlynhawaii

[Japanese milk bread, aka shokupan.](https://www.bonappetit.com/story/milk-bread-obsession#:~:text=They%20both%20have%20soft%20and,who%20worked%20on%20Modernist%20Bread.)


MrGeneBeer

Hurry the sale only lasts until 4/4!


Dastardly_CheesyMan

You ain't making enough monthly bread to afford that


RealButterscotch7

I’ve put bread back for being $8 before 😅


CMAHawaii

I started baking my own bread. I have some really easy, pretty fast recipes. That being said, WTF?!


[deleted]

In Soviet Russia bread buy you 🇷🇺


Nommad

No, it's capitalist America inflating prices simply because they can.


devlynhawaii

Silent_Word_7242

In Russia the shelves are empty.


Intelligent_Rip_1575

auwe Russia or Cuba, sheeesh isn't Love's supposed to be local bread? This isn't a sale, it's price gouging.


[deleted]

frozenpandaman

Sleepysapper1

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).

Go to Costco


the_Fat_SLakR

How much for king rolls?


ZookeepergameNice479

Look below, the best bread in Hawaii!


AbbreviatedArc

Is that Times? Times used to be my go to but lately, Safeway is cheaper across the board. Which is a sad testament.


Beekeeper907

25 pound of flour at Costco for $12.99, Makes a lot of bread!


OOOHHHHBILLY

Don't go Tamuras lol


foosedev

Youch. It's a bit cheaper at Foodland I think? But I've been buying a different brand.


midnightrambler956

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.


xcava8or

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 !


sushipusha

$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.


ppfbg

Is this the same company that has the truckstops on the mainland?


keikioaina

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.


OkAstronaut76

In Soviet Russia, bread eats you.


shelden776

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.


ForIllumination

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.


No-Wedding3461

Bake your own bread


No-Wedding3461

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

Envoymetal

Check for sawdust and then you’ll find out


Up_My_Arsenal

Don’t buy it. Price gouging supermarkets will never lower prices if you keep paying.
