Source (online?) for whole wheat flour
I was reading reviews of bread machines at Amazon.com and someone said
they bought 25 lb. bags of organic whole wheat flour for ~ $0.50/lb. net. The post was in 2006. I don't recall the name of the company, but going to their website I see that the cheapest organic whole wheat flour there now is ~$0.80/lb for 25 lb. and that's before shipping. I live in Berkeley CA and am looking for an economical source of whole wheat flour. I've been getting mine at the Berkeley Bowl, but the cheapest they have is $1.39/lb. What are some good sources? Dan PS I've been getting bread flour at Costco in 50 lb. bags, but I don't believe they sell whole wheat, at least economically. |

I work in food manufacturing, and the company I work for buys flour by the rail car loads. Which is how I happen to know that flour costs have risen dramatically in the past year. http://www.redorbit.com/news/science...ast/index.html If the above link wraps: http://tinyurl.com/acgkbj -- Tony Sivori Due to spam, I'm filtering all Google Groups posters. |

Maybe you can make a deal with the local bakery? |

The online sources I've managed to find have a hefty shipping fee. For instance, I found a 25 lb bag of whole wheat flour for 12 dollars and change, but the shipping brought the 50 cents/lb up to $1.36/lb. I can buy organic whole wheat flour at my local market for $1.39/lb (as stated above), and any quantity I want, so it's not worth it for me to buy online unless I can find a much better deal. I figure I'll have to avoid shipping to get good deals. I know there must be many local people who bake in their kitches regularly and some of them have certainly looked into this. I just don't know right now how to meet these people. Dan |

Have you tried calling wholesale grocery distributors? Ask your local Subways where they get whole-wheat flour? Ask bakeries where they get their supplies?
