I expected my King Arthur flour to jump in price but....

I'm in shock! Today I went to BJ's Wholesale CLub, where I purchase my AP KA flour for $4.49 per 10 pound bag, and price skyrocketed to $7.79. But the Gold Medal 10 pound bag was same price, so it isn't just KA. I do a lot of baking so fortunately I had some extra stashed in the freezer. My baking slows in the warmer weather. Maybe by fall prices will have dropped some????? I've seen a jump in produce prices in our gro. stores. I don't buy processed foods at all. I knew from previous threads and other boards that gro. costs had really jumped-just sorta surprised me how much flour has increased...Steph

 
Yeah, doesn't it suck? Everytime I buy one of my usual items, it's skyrocketed to a

ridiculous level. When will this madness end?

 
I was at my local grocery store today, and there was a lady with a 20 lb bag of rice in

her cart. I am thinking of returning and putting one in my pantry. We eat a lot of rice.
I wondering about flour and sugar?

 
Looks like a good time for everyone to stop baking for a while....

I'm going to focus on fresh fruits...although the two fresh mangoes I bought this week (at two different stores) both had a moldy smell to me.

 
Flour has skyrocketed here in Ontario (Can) even the no-name brand.

But lemons are selling for 60 cents EACH. Does that seem high to you guys. They are big and beautiful but have very thick skins and little juice. I tried bottle juice, but not very good. So you can imagine what our fresh fruits are like. I live in Windsor across the border from Detroit. The truckers are travelling on liquid gold so the cost of fresh fruit and veggies keep going up. Where abouts do you live Meryl?

 
Hi Elenor, I live in Greensboro, NC. Single lemons are at least 69 cents each, but are

less expensive if bought in the 2-lb bags - I think there are 10 or 12 per bag, and they end up being about 45 cents each or something like that. The problem is it's hard to use up so many lemons before they go bad. When I lived in FL up until about 3 years ago, lemons and limes were very inexpensive - I wonder how they are now. Limes here are also ridiculous.

I know what you mean about those lousy thick-skinned lemons - they are just a waste. Luckily, I usually have access to the smaller, thinner skinned ones.

 
Expect it to continue as long as the midwest farmers are growing corn instead of wheat. Have you

noticed that when prices jump like that, they never really return to close to what they were when they started up? I guess the powers that be think we're used to it by then and if they lower them somewhat, that will suffice. So I'll bet products made from wheat will stay high when the farmers go back to raising wheat.

 
Have you noticed a change in the size of packages? The price is the same but the volume much less.
