ICE CREAM Prices to Rise as well
I was just about to go and buy some more ice cream because it is too hot to eat anything else when I saw this article:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...t_licker_shock
Quote:
EXCERPT: A pint of Ben & Jerry's is going up 8 percent, the most in the company's 26 years. Klondike bars will cost 10 cents more per multipack, according to manufacturer Good Humor-Breyers Ice Cream.
The rising prices also are accelerating a recent trend — companies shrinking packages but keeping prices the same in what effectively is a net price increase. In January, Wilbraham, Mass.-based Friendly's rolled out its 56-ounce half-gallon tub — down from the standard 64 ounces — and this month increased its retail prices by 5 percent.

I love Ben and Jerry's but 8% is a LOT!!!!

Me too but on a happy note, I just came from Food Lion where they have Breyer's for $2.99 in the tub size not big tub but you know the family size one -- gallon, quart, something, lol. Yeah I am too lazy to walk to the freezer and tell you exactly what size.
I got the Heath Bar Crunch flavor which is my favorite of B&Js. B & J was 3.79 for that little one person size amount.

Dang! That's 'spensive!
Heath Bar crunch is my favorite B & J's but NOTHING, and I do mean nothing, beats Breyer's Butter Pecan!
So just like I have to drive to get to work, and pay these higher gas prices, guess I'll be paying exhorbitant (sp) prices for ice cream!

Oh well. I guess with ice cream prices on the rise too, that means I'll have no problem losing weight for the summer. If it costs too much, I won't be eating it! Slurpees for me!

Re: ICE CREAM Prices to Rise as well
It is probably increasing because MILK prices have increased because gas prices have increased because.....well, you get the point...

Okay, I know there was another ice cream thread somewhere. . .
But anyway, hubby went ice cream crazy Sunday with 2 pints of Ben & Jerry's (vanilla heath bar crunch and butter pecan) and oreo ice cream sandwiches, klondike ice cream sandwiches and breyer's vanilla.
I was looking at the butter pecan label and saw where B & J will donate a portion of the proceeds from certain flavors to the Tom Joyner foundation. Don't know what other flavors you can buy to contribute, but go Ben & Jerry's crazy!

I wonder
If this also applies to Baskin-Robbins. Because I love Daquiri Ice (been eating it since 1969) and Margarita Ice. Ice cream, particularly a malt w/whipped cream on top, is a rare treat for me.

I get little Ben and Jerry's @ Super WalMart, 2 for $2. 
They only have Cherry Garcia and another flavor I don't like so I stock up on Cherry Garcia.
