Didn't say it was. However, if the cheapest bread you are willing to eat
went up 1% in price, how likely would you be to switch to a cheaper brand?
That's elasticity.

Not true unless you're on a very tight budget.

As many are.

Ask your wife whether she'd spend an extra 30 cents on bread from a brand
she trusts.

My wife buys the cheapest whole-wheat bread she can find (but she's
exceptional). I prefer pumpernickel from Bohemian Ovens and french bread
from LaBrea or The Creamery (can't afford either very often, though).
