    1. I'll just pour sugar on my Paris Baguette


    2. I'm not gonna buy it then ㅡㅡ


    3. Even Paris Baguette has gotten so expensive now, Tous Les Jours is even worse, I wonder if those are even white bread at this point


    4. Are they insane?


    5. Paris Baguette has gotten seriously too expensive, they're even more expensive than my bread shop in my neighborhood


    6. What happened in the last 3-4 years.. Sigh


    7. They're seriously wrong for pricing it 5,600won...


    8. There's nothing I can buy to eat anymore


    9. I'm boycotting I'm boycotting


    10. I'm baking my own bread nowadays

  • Interesting. So that's like $1 a piece. Choux Cream Bread is $3 on Grubhub in the US - and I doubt it's for a box of 4.

    I also don't think that the price is that crazy

    honestly we have here in Poland donuts for similar price like 1USD for it


    my understanding is that this kind of bread they have there in Korea has some cream inside so it's a similar thing to Polish donuts

  • Yeah it's not that bad but it's a side effect of inflation that people can easily see and measure, and it upsets them because yes I understand the outrage, you look at a common item you purchased for years suddenly in the span of just 3 and barely even 3 yrs and the price went from 1usd to nearly 5usd$ for the exact same amount of that item why?
