I get that it’s not all on the store but I can buy a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread for $10, making 6-12 breakfasts. Sure they’re not as fancy as a cafe but it’s $10+minimal effort vs $150. Getting to the cafe is more effort than cooking the breakfast, cos I live in the dull outer suburbs.
You’re not factoring your rent/mortgage into that cost though, like stores have to, nor are you having to pay a minimum of what - 3-4 staff at all times a fair wage.
It’s not the cost of the food that is making everything expensive, it’s the cost of everything around the food - power to cook it and light the place, wages, lease, insurance, etc.
It’s too expensive to do anything in this country. Took my daughter and wife to Breaky the other day. A meal each. A drink each. $120
FFS It’s insanity.
A Breaky for 3 should maybe be $60 or so.
