I'm in the middle of putting together some numbers for a post/discussion about the costs of enchanting using real world costs because they're easier to gauge (a full suite of armor/clothing enchanted with Fortify 3 is at least 4,000USD to give people an idea) but I want to include a comparison between hiring dancing girls for a Raise Cone of Power spell (15USD per 8 energy) and using Power Stones instead, which means I need to figure out materials costs for Power Stones.

Now I've done a bit of background research and while the prices I'm about to quote are in AUD, given that is comparison is based upon purchasing power and not exchange rates, I don't think the prices are too far off.
Basic supermarket bread, $1
Family owned bakery $2 to $2.5
Franchise bakery ~$4
Brand names bread $6+

Now my first instinct is telling me that the first two are probably the ballpark that I want, but what do people think?
