<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1369072, member: 22143&quot;]^Artisan isn&#039;t made from frozen dough.&nbsp;&nbsp; None the less, I thought I&#039;d look into it further.&nbsp; Wonder Bread was the first national brand of sliced white bread starting in 1930.&nbsp; &nbsp; It cost 9 cents in 1930.&nbsp; (I could not find a 1933 price).&nbsp;&nbsp; I compared that to what&#039;s now known as Wonder Bread Classic White.&nbsp; I have no idea if the specifications are the same though they didn&#039;t use high fructose corn syrup in the 1930s, since it wasn&#039;t prefected in the laboratory for mass consumption until the 1970s&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also discovered it&#039;s difficult to get on-line pricing for groceries on a national basis.&nbsp; I found this loaf of bread ranging from $1.79 at a remote Walmart, to $2.79 in a store near here to $3.99 at Mr. Grocer.&nbsp; This is an average of $2.86/loaf.&nbsp; So given that we have a loaf today made with inferior ingredients and benefiting from modern production technology we get a monetary inflation from $0.09 cents to $2.86.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a price increase of <b>3077%</b>.&nbsp; This price increase was brought to by the wonders of central banking.&nbsp; Where your money goes into their pockets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
