Just checked... $.17 at wal Mart, and $.22 at kroger. We'd never eat that crap, so the price hadn't concerned us.
Wade, you need to get the heck out of Mississippi!
And what's with all the chicken little referencing here?

I have no way to verify the authenticity of this site, but it does appear to reflect the trends in my area. Scary stuff.

Re: Ramen Noodle Soup
AP article in this morning's paper mentions food increases. Goldman Sachs analyst predicts "consumer food inflation to jump 5 percent by the middle of this year."
That figure was a little ambiguous. Taken literally, it's a small number - suppose consumer food inflation is now 10% per year (to start with an absurdly high number), then if inflation jumped 5 percent, it would be 10.5%, no? But probably misspoke or was misquoted, he really meant that your ramen would go up 5%.
But I thought I would see if I could check this from some other source, and then it got interesting. The Goldman Sachs guys should probably be keeping their name out of the news in connection with this issue for a while. A number of people are convinced that steep rises in 2006 and 2007 were due to financial speculation, led by Goldman Sachs, after they sucked the US housing market dry and pulled their money out as it collapsed. Corn and wheat near doubled, rice tripled, people starved all over the world. Back to normal in 2008, and the big investment houses pocketed billions as usual. No mention in the AP article of any suspicions that they're at it again.
