I thought this was an interesting article. Prices are definitely rising right now. Hopefully, these are just high fluctuations and things will decrease next year. I recall frantically buying nonfat dry milk a few years ago in fear as prices were rising, and had not made a dent in my supply when prices had returned to normal. They are up again. Price fluctuations are a major reason for a well-rounded food storage. Commodities will drive costs. “If ye are prepared, ye need not fear”…or fall prey to price gouging!
