Despite this, price of bread is still ridiculous.
Legit. I grew up in Vancouver. When I moved to London (UK) to be with my wife I was blown away by how cheap food was. Prices are rising, inflation, COVID, Brexit, etc. still, I pay less than £2 for 2 pints(bit over a litre) of milk.
A standard shop for 2 weeks is usually around £80-100, but we get easily double what I'd get at a grocery for $80-100 PRE covid.
I don't mean to discredit the point you were trying to make, but isn't £80-100 worth almost double $80-100? A 1L carton at my local store is about $3 or £1.60 (equivalent of £1.80 for 2 pints). Seems pretty similar.
That wasn't really a great example without context. When I moved to London 2 pints of milk was 60p, 500g of really good cheese was £1.50 maybe. Rent on the last 2 bed my wife and I rented in London was £1100. The last 2 bed I rented in greater Vancouver, so 2017ish, was $3000.
My monthly car insurance before I moved in November 2020, even with exchange rate, is ⅔ of my ANNUAL cost here. My cell plan is £24pcm and I get 500gb of data, plus global roaming. 1kg of chicken breast that I just picked up today for dinner was £2 and change.
