Thread Name: BS: Price of flour
Subject: RE: BS: Price of flour
Store-bought bread hasn't moved upwards enough for me to notice.
A loaf of fresh-baked sourdough from the store ovens is $3.49 at Safeway, in Alberta, Canada.

A counter bread at Safeway, "Artisan Seven Grain Bread sliced" is $1.69 for 1 lb. Its contents are "Water, bread base (flour (wheat), rolled oats, sunflower seeds, soya grits, triticale flakes, flax seeds, sesame seeds, rye flakes, salt, vegetable oil (canola*), malted barley flour, inactive dry yeast, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides, dextrose, citric acid, ascorbic acid, enzymes), yeast **TDMK** made in a facility with peanuts and other allergens." Canola*- formerly rape seed oil.
What the price increases are on all of the other stuff besides flour, I will leave to you to calculate.
