This one takes the cake...

... or rather, the egregiously overpriced loaf of bread. Regular readers of this blog know me for my rants about the ridiculousness of food pricing in Australia, but this one leaves me without words (almost). My mission to document this ongoing craziness is so well known that this photo was actually emailed to me by a colleague on her way to work. Good thing I didn't see it with my own eyes or I may not have been able to hide my amazement from the shopkeeper. To add insult to injury, they even have the gall to suggest you tip them on top of that gouging (note tip jar to right of loaf). Alas, I'm at least comforted by the knowledge that said loaf is likely de-lish as food here never disappoints when it comes to taste.
