    Clarkson is going to Waitrose to get fancy bread. Aldi sell it for 45p. 25p to the farmer leaves just 20p which is split between transport, processing and what ever profit Aldi are taking out of it.

      Wait your bread is literally less than a pound? It’s like $4 here in Canada for shitty wonderbread and $5.50 for the fancy “baked in store” shitty bread

        Yeah, though you can get bread a little over £1 it’s the more luxury stuff. Most root veg, rice and oats are less than £1/KG and make up the majority of the volume of what we get, we usually spend about £30/week between the 2 of us on food. Most expensive purchase is usually cheddar, which is basically the default cheese here, the one we usually get is £5.42/KG.

        Low-end food is apparently way cheaper in the UK than in North America:

        There’s been inflation since that video went up, so the prices aren’t quite that good anymore. There are more recent videos from that channel you can watch to see more current prices though.
