They reduce the very expensive things to make them slightly dearer than the regular lines, but they don't ever do that with bread and other ordinary perishables.

I'm sorry for your loss “Either there is a great sadistic intelligence behind JS waging a methodical and Machiavellian class war” Lol

Let them eat cake. Have you thought of eating brioche instead of basic bread:-)? I find time to bake my own bread, which is very satisfying. A German friend insists that "it's as easy as boiling a kettle", which is a slight exaggeration. He also has an ingenious low-fuel method of baking it in an unsealed pressure cooker, on the hob on the lowest light. It works, but I normally bake bread the usual way in the oven. I haven't costed the fuel, so don't know how the cost compares with shop bread. It tastes better, though. “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche.” Let them eat cake.
