Bread Price Increase

Bakers in Sri Lanka have announced a Rs. 10 increase on loaves of bread, raising prices for the 450g loaf effective from August 31st. This follows broader inflation pressures affecting food prices across the country.

Breaking news: Bakers have discovered that inflation is apparently a collective decision made at midnight, like we're all vampires turning into financial hardship simultaneously. Meanwhile, three different news outlets felt compelled to tell us the exact same thing, because apparently Rs. 10 is worth a breaking news ticker on repeat—guess that's what passes for a plot twist these days.
