Small loaf not in big demand
In spite of an increase in the price of bread since it went metric last week, there has been little demand for i the small quarter loaf. ' According to the manager ‘ of one of Christchurch’s largI est bakeries, this is because ■ the public would pay relaI tively more for the small loaf I than for the standard 750 g i loaf.
I “There has been some de- [ mand for the quarter loaf but I this will cease once the pubI lie realise how much the | individually-baked small loaf i would cost,” he said.
The price of a 750 g wrapped loaf is now 33c, while a 350 g wrapped loaf, less than half the weight, is 24c.
