“Ever notice that off brand items don’t go up on prices.”

You could be right on some things; I rarely buy a National Brand unless it’s a really good deal. But, Walmart French Bread went up to $1.25 from a dollar; same with their brand of English Muffins.

I always shop their discount rack for bakery - sometimes just for treats for the chickens, but I will buy a marked-down Croissant from time to time for a nice sandwich. $1.25 for six. There’s easily $1.25 worth of BUTTER in them, for sure. ;)

Not to mention the ‘PITA Factor’ to make your own croissants from scratch!
