And you thought your food was expensive

The BBC has an article about the current cost of food in Zimbabwe, where they're dealing with inflation running 2,200,00% (No, that's not a typo; that's two million percent.) The current price for a loaf of bread is one hundred billion Zimbabwe dollars. (That's five bucks, US. According to the currency conversion site Rico uses, "the Zimbabwe government claims that a redenomination of the ZWD is imminent." No shit.)
