Prices Rising

I realize that this isn't news to those preparing, however just in case someone new stumbles in they may find this newsworthy.  The LDS Cannery is where you can purchase food storage items at cost!  I'm not LDS but they offer a wealth of information and I have ordered from them.  So, seeing their substantial increases really brings it home if your hesitating in buying food before the prices climb any higher.  I got this off a list I am on and wanted to share.

Cannery Price increase effective now!

Big price increases at the cannery.

Wheat is now $11.45 (up from $7.65)

The price went up in the 20 most bought foods 19.1% in 22 months or about 1% a month.

Biggest increase in:

Sugar 26%
Regular Oats 29.6%
White Wheat 31.9%
Macaroni 36.4%
Potato Flakes 39.2%

Rice and beans increased very little during the same period.  Anything that is corn related, like meat, is going up very rapidly.
