Bread Prices Rise as Russian Wheat Deal Seen to Hurt
Households nationwide report higher grocery costs driven by flour and bread price spikes after the U S Soviet wheat dealings. Consumers contend bread may become unaffordable as flour prices climb from 12 to 32 34 cents per pound and a 24 ounce loaf could reach 1 by spring unless export curbs are imposed. Local shoppers cite thrift-store purchases and home baking as responses to shrinking U S wheat reserves and rising costs.
