[jeanlivingston]

The push toward ethanol creation through corn  needs to be factored
into your calculation.  It's not just oil that is causing the
problem.

> Yesterday afternoon I noticed some bare spots in the cupboard and
decided it was a good time for a Winco run. As I walked up and down
each aisle I noticed that all the familiar products I've been buying
for years have their prices jacked up 20 - 25%!! And that's just since
the first of the year. These aren't seasonal adjustments we're talking
about either. . . . I know this is a direct result of the rising gas
prices. I'm paying more for my Nalley's chili and my kitty's Friskies.

price of eggshave been through the roof for months now. Usually you
see a price break around Easter, but not really this year.

for pizzeria owners. . .but what's up with flour? I've heard there's a
shortage and I noticed that Winco has raised their French bread. .
.about 20%. You can't blame them. . . they're not running a charitable
institution.

fuel prices, you're getting kicked in the ass and socked in the gut.
