Warburtons seeded batch bread.

On BBc news yesterday the roving reporter was out and about in a working mans house talking about the cuts and the people where complaining about losing money but in the background on the breakfast counter was a warburtons seeded loaf at about £1.70
Now if I had to tighten my belt I would be buying cheaper bread

People must realise that we have to live within our means and if that involves buying economy bread then so be it
If your income is reduced then so must your expenditure

problem solved
spend less buy cheaper

warburtons seeded batch is one of the loaves most likely to be reduced in the local co-op

girlylala0807 · 20/10/2010 20:55

Yes because expensive bread is exactly what is causing all these problems for people...

I guess God was scrabbling around in the bargain bins when he found you a brain.

DirtyMartiniOfDoom · 20/10/2010 20:56

Wow. That's great that you've solved the problem. Who'd a thunk it could be so simple?

Cadders1 · 20/10/2010 20:56

Let them eat cake!

madugherowngrave · 20/10/2010 20:56

Yes spending an extra 20 p on bread is outragous! I share your indignity!

LoopyLoupGarou · 20/10/2010 20:56

Should poor people be allowed branded foods at all? In fact, do they really need to eat?

TethHearseEnd · 20/10/2010 20:56

YANBU.

It's seeded breads which got us into this mess in the first place.

So nobody has the right to complain unless they are buying value-brand everything?

SuePurblybilt · 20/10/2010 20:57

Poor people should not have bread at all. Let them eat cake [hgrin]

Anyway, he may have nicked it.

usualsuspect · 20/10/2010 20:57

let them eat cake I say

madugherowngrave · 20/10/2010 20:57

I was really hoping the title was it, poor people should not eat. Full stop.

CommonSenseSuze · 20/10/2010 20:57

Yes, no wonder they're worrying about their financial future, if they've a Warburtons Seeded loaf in the bread bin.

When will these people learn??

You man! Yes...you...the lout in the flat cap! Put that bleddy seeded loaf down at once! There are decent crusts in the gutter for free you fool!

DwainRooney · 20/10/2010 21:01

Economy brands have a lot going for them

We spent £10 buying economy Comestibles for the harvest festivle at dds school and by golly we got a lot of stuff

MilkNoSugarPlease · 20/10/2010 21:01

Is another brand ok though?

Could I eat Local Italian Deli uber posh organic seeded bread at roughly £2.75 a loaf?

Just as long as it's not Warburtons?

proudnscary · 20/10/2010 21:01

Psml (have terrible pelvic floor, seriously) @ Formashgetsmash!

proudnscary · 20/10/2010 21:02

GMajor7DeadlySins · 20/10/2010 21:02

I have to live frugally, but must admit to a penchant for Burgen's seeded loaves...all crunchy and delicious!
