M&S under fire for selling two slices of plain bread for £4.50

Marks & Spencer faces criticism for selling two slices of its "Pan de Cristal" bread for £4.50, prompting questions about its value. Customers noted that similar bread costs significantly less in Spain. The price is over 25 times that of standard loaves, raising concerns amid rising grocery prices in the UK. M&S defends the product as part of a diverse range, emphasizing its popularity and quality, with 75,000 packs sold since launch. The retailer acknowledges customer worries about rising costs and inflation.
