Price of King Arthur all-purpose flour?

[BritAnnia]

I'm curious...

...those of you who purchase King Arthur flour, how much does it generally cost in your area?

 

I've just come home from Whole Foods after not shopping there for a few months and I was a bit flabbergasted to find a 5lb bag of regular KA all-purpose flour costs $6.99 and organic costs $8.99 :eek:

 

I usually pay around $4.60ish at a local grocery store here in NC.

I might just have to find a new brand of flour but I do so love how my baking turns out with KA brand.

Another NC resident reporting. Recently Lowes was selling KA for $4.59 but Harris Teeter had it for $3.59.

 

Buying KA flour is cheaper than buying good bakery bread, so I plan on continuing to use it.

It seems to stay around $3.25 or so. (WV)

The other day I was at Stop & Shop (generally pretty pricy) and they had KA all-purpose in 5-lb bags for almost $5. However, they also had 10-lb bags with a Discontinued sign for 50% off, making them $5, so I bought two. I rarely use all-purpose anymore, so this will last a long time and will be a good backup in emergencies.

 

Now, the cost of white whole wheat? I have no idea. Fortunately, I have 4-5 bags in my chest freezer, but we use it a lot, so that won't last us too long :(

Ah, that's a relief. I was concerned the price had skyrocketed since I last bought some but it seems a simple case of Whole Foods overcharging. I'll know to avoid buying flour there from now on!

Thanks for the feedback :)

$4.99 at Kroger in SW Virginia. I have started using Hodgson Mill. It is about $1.50 cheaper. (But I love KA flour!)
