If Earl hits North Carolina will the price of donuts go up? |
|
Whenever a storm hits the Gulf Coast, the price of gas goes way up.
What will happen if Earl strikes our nation's largest producer of donuts?
And what about pork? Lots of pig farms in the storm's path.
I don't drive very much so I'm not too concerned about about the price of gas.
But if the supply of pork and donuts gets interrupted I'll be one anxious MOFO.
Should I be worried?

8. Donuts are a stable commodity |
|
And their prices can withstand floods, tornadoes and hurricanes.
But oil prices fluctuate when someone sneezes in Nigeria.

9. Hey have you gone to buy a dozen eggs or more in Walmart |
|
Before the recall they were 1.28 a dozen I almost had a heart attack they went up to 2.28. I looked at the 2 1/1 dozen previous 2.75 went up to 4.70 and the 5 dozen went from 4.25 to 9.70. I think I got the new prices right I was so shocked I moved on quickly. And a lot of other shoppers did also. While the other stores even a couple of small sorta general stores didn't raise their price.
