If everyone stops buying it at that price, it will drop quickly.
But…prisoners dilemma. If enough buy it to match what profits they used to make, they can afford a drop off in customer base.

Ask the man who holding you at gun point if you can buy a cheaper brand or just not buy it.

Nobody is forcing you to buy it or anything else stupidly expensive.

What ? Supermarkets said that they are not price gauging.. this is just normal and we imagine things. The government increased your minimum wages.. why the complain ?
So nothing to see here.. carry on

Try give them less and see what happens
It looks like Dunnes so they have their own brand cheaper

We all know shit is more expensive and there’s an own brand cheaper option if people are offended by the price of this one.

I left the country 2 years ago. A loaf of branded bread was a little over 2 euro. This is fruit loaf though, so woulda been a bit more.
From the reports of inflation and gouging on this sub every 17 minutes… I dunno, 4 euro doesn’t seem too shocking tbh.

You would make a way nicer one at home for a fraction of the cost

The advice is to shop around.

I see your username. You’re just trying to whip up a frenzy about baked goods to hawk your discount battenburgs.

Fruit loaf is pretty inessential. A regular sliced pan has gone up in price but could really have gone up by more based on the price of the ingredients for some time

Our currency is just a lot less valuable now is all. Food will always be valuable, it was just way below value for long enough because of the recession and central banks keeping interest levels down. It’s should have risen more gradually but anyways, here we are.
If you have the same salary as you did in 2018, you basically got a big pay cut

That’s why I make my own for 5x the price

Got even worse news for yei bud.
€4.40
Wait til you see what they’re charging for comparable gluten free products
Paid €4.04 for a bottle of Lucozade at the airport yesterday. Thought about jumping on a plane and flying somewhere cheaper.
400gr for 4 quid? I think it would not be much more expensive to make one yourself….and taste better for sure….
It isn’t a tax, you don’t have to pay it
€2.72 up the North ffs.
