Interesting to see the big price difference between Wisconsin and out east.Quote:

This all being said, I'm glad I bought my bulk needs before the prices jumped. I did however pay 10 cents higher per pound than what prices were when I bought.
I'm wondering how soon the bulk price increases will translate to the wholesale and retail prices. Wholesale being sales in retail size containers to grocery stores and retail being the price the consumer pays. We mostly sell wholesale to grocery stores.
I would think it will come fairly soon, (I've already raised my retails, in fact I did it 2 weeks ago) I may need to adjust even more soon.
it only costs 10-11 cents a pound to get it east. if those 2 buyers in Wisconsin dont pony up everyone should ship it east. 20 cents more times 75 drums adds up quick.Quote:

You can't make the gravy when the bulk price is low , and when its high. Only the Government is allowed to win on both ends.
I’m with Nate, we ride the highs and lows selling only retail. We’ll need to buy some this year and the price will be higher. That means a little less money for us but we’re still making money. When I first heard about possibility of a jug shortage we stocked up for the next 2 years. Glad we did that.
I bought 3x what I usually get in cases of jugs, will not last 2 yrs though, need more storage room.
I raised my prices just over 2 weeks ago and sales so far show no decline.
