New price for price controlled bread
According to an article I just read, the new Finance Minister has lowered the price of price controlled bread, effective immediately.
If you want to give your family healthy bread - i.e. wholewheat or wholegrain, it is not subsidized. Why do they subsidize only the least healthy option? It's like in hospitals when they feed you white bread and sugary jam with sugary pudding-yogurts. It costs more in the end in health care. #makesmemad
Hi! Thanks for commenting on Frugal and Kosher! From now on, all comments are moderated, because of the unfortunate prevalence of spammy comments. Thanks for understanding!
According to this article, it's the Minister of Trade, not Finance, who made the decision.
