Is it just our area, or has the price of a loaf of bread more than
doubled in the last three years? -- A website is a place, where, when you go there, it does everything possible to distract you, from finding the information you came there to see.- E.W. |

The big grain price increases were late 2007 / early 2008. Now: "Falling prices emerged as a theme in the latest economic data, with the consumer price index recording its first annual decline in more than 50 years. Retail sales also headed lower, surprising economists with a more than 1% drop." http://www.vanguard.com/us/VanguardV...172009_ALL.jsp -- Mike Kruger A face for radio, a voice for mime. |

Nowadays, I consider myself fortunate to find All Purpose below 3.5 $ / 5 lb. Bread flour more like 4 to 4.5. So, I'd hazard that it's all way up. |

The Economists on the info media seem to like (or at least condone) inflation, but deflation is considered an horrible thing. As for the current price of bread, I'd expect there'd be some lag time, as the grain from which it's made was probably harvested a year or two ago. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me.
