Question:
WHY are Scones and Crumpets so daRn expensive?
I am in Assisted Living. I cannot bake my own. I even have to ask the on-duty staff to nuke my water, and any/everything else.

With crumpets, I think it is economy of scale -- in the U.S., the English Muffin won out in the premade crumpet wars, so if a company offers a line of crumpets they have to price them with the idea that they won't sell as many of them, even though the fixed costs for baking them remain the same.
Not sure about scones.

Yep. No electric kettle/coffee pot/coffee maker, skillet, toaster, toaster oven, personal microwave ... them that have that nasty, vile, disgusting, expensive habit of shaing can have a electric razor, but that is it. OH! We can have a plug-in radio and alarm clock. No electric blanket, though.pedant wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 1:25 pmis it against the rules to have an electric kettle?afishhunter wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 10:02 amI even have to ask the on-duty staff to nuke my water, and any/everything else.
