We all know prices are going up. I ordered wheat berries at $22 per 10 kg a couple of weeks ago but now they are up to $26 per 10 kg. So within a span of about 2 weeks, it was a price increase of $4 from that particular source. It could be their local adjustment though as I'm not seeing huge increases elsewhere but rather mild increases.
For those who do not use wheat berries or other whole grains for longer storage or home milling, I'm not seeing a huge increase in commercially ground flours. Most have gone up verry little or by a few pennies if at all. Certainly store brand flours seem to be staying the same price. Rice has increased by pennies but oat meal and cornmeal is the same. An 8 kg bag of jasmine rice is on sale at No Frills this week for $12.88 member price. Dried legumes, split peas and beans have all increased about $1/900 kg bag so it's best to watch for sales of these even though they are still a good bargain for your food dollars. If you prefer canned beans, keep an eye on No Frills. I think it was last week they had selected varieties of canned beans on for $0.49 so that sale will be repeated likely next month since sales tend to be cyclic.
