When were there this week, it was $7.99. And there's not really a tariff excuse I don't think, plenty of wheat grown in the USA.

I think it's not just the tariffs, we continue to be ripped off by greedy corporations, and the Trump/GQP aren't going to do anything but help them do it by gutting CFPB and putting their rich cronies in charge of all the "independent" regulatory agencies that might act to help us.

The Trump regime is one colossal LOOTING job happening against the citizenry. These fuckers should be IN JAIL.
