same here from the major food distributors
I buy flour from a bakery company, mainly because they have the brand I want,
it is about 15% less price,

And from what it looks like, California has had a bumper crop of tomatoes this year so with a little luck, we should begin seeing a drop in our tomato product prices too.

$8-9-10.00 per bushel…more than double a year or so ago…
delivered flour pricing is not fair to “chat” about - distributor pricing is based on their on hand inventory versus their next PO inventory…
good distributors contract 30-60 days out and no more…
14.00-15.00 per 50# right now in north dakota- where the best spring wheat/durum are grown -and Canada is very good quality as well
ask your rep for a educated guess as to what they think is your best bet - market goes down(good luck!) - look at cheese - came down 30 cents a pound in 2 weeks and then up again 14 cents the week of 1-1-08 - I am convinced that the people who manage the CME are in cahoots with the major fuel suppliers…it is such a racket
best bet=raise your pizza price every 4 months - even 1-2 % per pizza and topping
