Noticed your slice of PIZZA getting pricier? Can we blame the cost of FLOUR?!
costing $37 this week, and then
costing $40 next week?
Yep, we sure love our Pizza...but with gas prices over $4/Gal
and rising (pun intended) flour prices, where will it all end?
Is it getting to the point where you can't afford:
1) to drive to your local Pizza place?
and
2) pay for that Pizza you called in for pick-up?
MAMA MIA!!

Answers: How about the price of a 50 lb. bag of Gold Medal flour that cost $16.00 last week to your favorite Pizzeria owner...
costing $37 this week, and then
costing $40 next week?

We live in North Dakota where hard red wheat is grown. When farmers started to get $20 dollars a bushel, I knew we were in trouble getting flour. I just ordered 10 times as much flour as I normally keep on hand. I paid $14.00 for 50 # bags.
I am hoping that will hold me until the harvest comes in. Good thing I had room in my freezers. another note----My hubby is an Over the Road Trucker moving products from one place in the country to another. Thank the Trucker next time you pass one!! He just transported your food, drink, furniture and everything you use. If you in your job one year ago were told "next year your net income will be cut by 1/3" would you keep doing it? That is how much fuel costs have cost us!!! I know better than to blame the price of fuel on who ever is in power in D.C. Have you not seen the pictures of the Ski Resort the Arabs just built in the middle of their desert. ( If you want to blame a President---blame the one Crooked Willy; he was too busy playing with a Cigar in the Oval Office to take out Bin Laden when he should have. )
Cheese went way up too.
Mama Mia is right and I'm not talking the new Meryl Streep movie!!!
Good point, good article.
But.................I'll still order pizza!!!
Yes you can blame that. My mom owns a bakery and she had to rise her prices. She will likely do it again if the flour prices keep going up. Everything else is also going up because of the gas prices for the companies to deliver the foods.
yes. since the price of flour is increasing, not only pizza prices would increase but also most of the pastries.
I go to Giovanni's Pizza on Weds. since it is 1/2 price ladies day for $3.25 buffet! Don't know how long that will last, but I am enjoying it for now:) The gas prices will end when Bush leaves office. It's rather Ironic we get a rebate just to spend it on gas!
You can thank the bio fuel industry because they are taking great portions of corn and wheat now so its costing consumers more to buy actual food.
Its also called inflation... the American dollar is almost worth less than the Mexican dollar. Its amazing how NAFTA and China owning our debt is catching up with us.
