Fierce debate erupts over steak and potato bakery pie price: ‘Un-Australian’

Thousands of Australians were divided over the price of a steak and potato pie.

A conversation sparked on Reddit after a customer shared a picture of the freshly baked golden cakes behind the glass, priced at $10.90.

The price quickly angered dozens, with some labeling it “un-Australian” while others knew prices had risen due to inflation.

The price caused customers to think about how much they would be willing to spend on the popular baking product.

“Meatpie Inflation,” the headline read.

“I have no doubt that cakes are more expensive for a reason. But I won’t pay $10 for it,” one admitted.

‘Yes. Get fucked. “I walk into this bakery, look, walk out,” wrote another.

“$10.90 for a cake is a rip off,” wrote a third.

“While everything is getting more expensive, the majority of people aren’t making more.” “So yeah, an $11 cake is fucking crazy,” someone else added.

However, considering that due to inflation, ingredient prices have also increased, some understand why the price is higher than usual.

“I mean servo cake [are] Currently it’s around $5-6, so $10 for a proper homemade cake makes perfect sense to me. “That doesn’t mean I like it, but I understand it,” one said.

A baker also joined the conversation and shared his insights on the situation.

“Unfortunately, ingredient prices are rising just as quickly as.” petrol/Groceries. “I’m just about to place my orders for the week and things like butter, yeast, flour, cheese and especially meat seem to show up every week,” the baker said.

“But if you replace too many ingredients with cheaper alternatives, people start complaining, and if you don’t, they complain that it’s too expensive.” “There’s only so much you can do,” he continued Baker away.

“Luckily my bakery has enough sales that we’re still sitting at around $6 per cake, but I definitely can’t blame other bakeries for charging that much.”

The baker added that running a business is expensive and if customers are unwilling to pay, they may have to consider cheaper options.

Another said it was strange to think $6 was “cheap” now.

“Two years ago I was outraged that cakes cost $6 – $3.50 to $4.50 always seemed right to me,” the person wrote.
