Bake Bread atHome, New Store Economists Counsel Opens NEW YORK (UPI) — Inflation now has pushed the price of breadso high any housewife who wants to go to the trouble can save a substantial amount by baking her own, with the added dividend of home-baked aroma andtaste. At the current retail price range of 16.6 to 19 cents a pound for flour, she can bakefor 20 to 24 cents 2 one pound foaf of bread that sells for anywhere from 45 to 8 60 cents. This includes the cost of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, shertening, yeast andfuel This calculation is based figures supplied by supermarkets, the American Bakers Association, and Fleischmann’s Yeast. For years, the bakery people have contended the housewife “can always keep us honest”if she is willing to bake herself. Until now, however, the amount she could save by baking bread hardly seemed worthwhile. ‘The inflation that has driven bread prices so high has been notable on flour, which has gone up 86 per cent in the past two years as wheat soared to $5 a bushel. But ingredients always have been the smaliest part of the price of bread. The biggest cost is distributionto the grocery store Forthis reason, according to the American Bakers Association, a 25 per cent rise in the wholesale price of bread in the past two years has resulted in an 85 percent jumpin the average retailprice.
