Bread is a staple food that plays an important role in people's lives from childhood to old age. It is enjoyed for breakfast, snacks like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and with friends and family for meals like pizza. While the bread itself does not change, people's perception of its value is not fixed and can shift based on their circumstances and environment. People may see a $1.49 loaf as expensive when money is tight but not think twice about it otherwise. Major events like hurricanes can also affect perceptions of a bread's value and cause people to compete for the last loaves in stock.
