      Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

        You are getting 22 slices? What brand are you getting? I feel like 16 is the standard but about 50% of the time I’m fairly certain it’s only 15 or 17.

          Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

      I would love to see your source. I don’t buy bread in bulk but I have a friend who owns a local restaurant in my town. I know how much he pays for the bread he serves for breakfast and it doesn’t get cheaper than that.
