I haven't purchased a sack of flour since last spring, but I haven't noticed any recent increase in the price of bread here on Vancouver Island. The local bakery, white unsliced bread I buy is 99 cents Cdn a loaf. They are not huge loaves, but they are the closest to tasting home baked that I can find. The large commercial bakery multigrain loaves, which we also get, are longer, denser and cost around $4.39 Cdn per loaf.
