Costco April 2020 through at least November 2020 Flour $6.99.
Same Costco same flour March 2021 $7.29. #inflation in action.

Have to get a picture from 2021 next time I remember.
This is April 2020.
April 2021 flour price at same Costco now up to $7.29. #Inflation
Costco flour now price inflated to $7.99 for a bag. #inflation is real.
Now one full year later update from original tracking of Costco flour price in time for the holiday baking season $8.49.
Food has much higher outsized #inflation than headline numbers. $COST
So if Government data tells us pricing is only up 2% and Costco maintains a pretty strict margin requirement, but is showing inflation of 21% with steady gains over the past 12 months who do you believe? Press release or your wallet?
Now as of February 2022 price is $9.99.
Pretty big leap from prior $8.49
Wheat price futures do not indicate a slowdown in the cost of my flour.
Ballpark guestimate here, this flour will be $19.99 anytime now.
Which would be an pretty dramatic acceleration of inflation on a rather staple food product.
This is at least the second price increase on this flour in 2022 by Costco.
April 29, 2022 price of this flour is now $10.49.
Another 5% increase. Still don't think we are seeing wheat futures price impact.
April 2020 price on the same brand, quantity $6.99 June 2022 price $11.59.
#Inflation is out of control.
It's outpacing prior price growth on core food staples. #CPI #CPIdata #CPIInflation $COST
