I mean what is the excuse? This is made locally, so there should be no increase for shipping. I just don't get it. |
Nothing's truly local anymore. Even if it was actually baked locally, the flour came from somewhere, as did the yeast, the sugar, the salt, the packaging, even the twist ties, etc., and the cost of shipping all those is going up and up and up.
It's shocking, isn't it? This ties in to that other thread about people being unhappy. I mean, your bread tripled in price! No wonder people are feeling desperate.
