You didn't write *whole* wheat. But even so, that still doesn't explain the
300% discrepancy. No matter how you slice the cake whole wheat flour
(especially bulk) doesn't cost 3X the price of white wheat flour (especially
packaged). Hmm, just something to post to rfc... you never bought any flour,
was no flour.

Sheldon and I have had a good relationship in the past, although he may

I suggest you learn to unlax, otherwise you'll do yourself injury :-)

Sorry, I said a bag of flour and wheat flour. Sue me. I can mail
you the ad circular which states the prices and how long they will run,
if you'd like.

I buy white unbleached at 88 cents for 5 lbs. and whole wheet for $2.89 for 5
lbs.
Both packaged.

Furthermore, the bulk has to be boxed, which requires periodic thorough
cleaning to prevent pests, so maintenance costs are higher, and, to my
mind, it doesn't matter if 10 elbees of bulk are 3 times more expensive
than 10 elbees of packaged as I have the option of buying only 1 cup of the
bulk, if that's all I need. So I will buy a cup of bulk and save the rest
of the money I would have spent buying a 10 elbee bag to squander on
wargames :-) Not so with the packaged (obviously). So bulk can save you
money in the long run if you rarely use flour.

It isn't all about cheapitudinousness. Sometimes it's about convenience,
or as they said in Dogpatch: Cornveenience.

Over to you, Shel.

Holidays. Expect the price of butter to skyrocket, too.

Around here (Pittsburgh) eggs are usually on
sale at least at some of the store for the
holidays - especially T-day, Xmas,and Easter.

I also noticed that the prices were high. I always
buy large eggs and they're usually around $.90 but
they were over a dollar recently except at the store
that had them on sale.

How much do you pay for authentic Free Range (Organic) large eggs?

If you can keep your head when those around you
are losing theirs, you probably haven't understood
the situation.

The cost of maintaining my flock of hens. :-)
Approx. $20.00 per month for all I can eat for me and dad, and I give
eggstras to my sister's family, all _they_ can eat!

I feed 5 people plus with a flock of about 25 hens.

You gets what you pays for. Super-cheap eggs...yum :-\

So, glut is fine with you as long as it results in a saving over
the real price of egg production? You are prepared to accept
falsified seasonal shortages for the purpose of generating greater
wealth for the middle-man in exchange for a product that may not
be exportable because of its low production cost and hence
questionable quality?

Other than for the shells hens are incapable of producing lesser (or
higher) "quality" eggs so long as they produce eggs, regardless of
diet... the nutritional value will be identical by weight. When a
bird is ill in a way that would affect its egg's viability to
produce young it simply ceases egg production, nature's way... same
as it's natural that you spout bullshit about topics of which you
know absolutely nothing... Michel Boucher, in every which way
possible you are a big fat zero ("0")... you are by far the most
ignorant, pretentious, and LOUDESTMOUTHED of all the RFC posters...
you're a communist/moslem piece-of-shit spineless freedom froggie
windbag.

Just where in the text you replied to was there any mention of
nutritional value?
The appearance (yolk color) and flavor of an egg is dramatically
affected by (the quality of) the feed and living conditions of the
hen. Thus the flavorless junk factory eggs.

I think it is long past time for you to adjust your meds.

Perhaps some therapeutic pastime is in order.

Actually I was looking for something along the line of
'The Church of the Fercocken Obsenity'

The real reason is the increased demand for high-protein, low-carb foods. Eggs
producers have realized that they can charge more and it won't affect sales.
The same reason is behind the price increase in meats.
