17 Rubles for a loaf of white bread and 19 Rubles for a loaf of black bread…

Buy a loaf of bread? Yes in Russia you can…

That is 21 cents and 24 cents for you Americans…

Or better yet…

A quarter buys a loaf of bread and you get those unwanted pennies back…


In the Big Village I bought a loaf of bread. Nice size loaf also. It was at the main chain store across Russia and one we like to shop at regularly. I realized as I grabbed a loaf of white bread that it was 16.9 Rubles…

I said to self. “Wow, that is cheap!”

Then I looked around and thought about what my son and grandson had said about how cheap everything is in Armenia. I realized that the same is here in Russia. Things are cheap in comparison to the West. Not as cheap as it use to be, but in comparison?

Very cheap to just “eat, drink and be merry”…
