Food struck me as weirdly cheap in Moscow--restaurants were expensive, but street stalls and groceries were cheap, especially compared to markups on other consumer goods (I bought a webcam there for $70 that would have cost $30 in the US). Bread, at least, was always cheap as dirt, and available in better quality/variety than in American supermarkets.
Prices don't stay still. Street stalls are cheaper but fulfilling breakfast still around $6.
Cheapest bread is heavily subsidized, but I struggle to find inexpensive variety bread in Moscow (and I live here). It's either very plain or very expensive or both. Even a small town near polar circle my wife is from happens to have better bread selection. I end up baking my own, which is awesome.
