19. I got a pound of yeast for less than $20 on Amazon last week

I was able to get a 50 lb sack of flour from a baking supply company. My grocery store has started to sell weighed bags of flour from bulk sources.

Consumer packing plants may be over capacity but I don’t think we have an actual shortage of flour.

I just did a quick Amazon search and found 2 lbs of Red Star active dry yeast for 6.99. I found 1 lb of another brand for less than $5. I paid less than $20 for mine with shipping.
