Economy Significant Increase in the Price of Bread and "Facturas"

The cost is now over $2,200/$2400 per kilogram and over $5,500/$6000 per dozen for "facturas". Pastries or "facturas" are not essential, but bread is for many families who put it on their table every day.

 
The merchants explained that they had to do it due to the increase in fixed costs like electricity, Aysa, etc.
This is what I worry about. Even if food inflation slows down all the other costs of doing business will go up. Utilities have gone up drastically so prices will probably have to follow along.

Eat now while you can afford it. With all the crazy increases in utility prices many restaurants will either go out of business or prices will continue to go up a lot!
