Sometimes the prices
in the Boston area kill me. I just paid $4 US (>$6 CDN) for a baguette from the Big Sky Bread Company in the wealthy suburb of Newton where I work. In contrast, La Patisserie Belge in Montreal has tremendous baguettes for $1.30 CDN.
To paraphrase Barney Gumbel of Simpsons fame, "this better be the best baguette I've ever had in my life."
