Out Of Everything

Unless I wanted to buy a 50 lbs of Bread flour, I'm out of stock almost every where. I've even tried the local baker...nope. Bulk sales only. Anyone know where I can small amounts of B.F.?

50 pound bag of flour at a restaurant supply costs about $24, you go pick it up.  It's actually cheaper in Indianapolis.

Keep 10 pounds for yourself, and tell 4 friends/neighbors that you'll sell them 10 pounds of flour for $6.  $.60/pound.  That's cheaper than name brand (Gold Medal) regular price at the grocery store.  You could even ask $.15/each for the zipper plastic bags.  About 5 pounds flour per gallon bag.

You will have done a big favor for 4 friends, actually saving them money compared to store price,  and you get "free" flour for your trouble.

If you don't want the hassle, suggest the arrangement to a friend, and tell them you'l pay  $6 for 10 pounds.
