Transportation costs are down, but corn prices are up. As are wheat prices. As are just about any other agricultural product. American farmers are planting corn and selling it for ethanol, which is used as a fuel additive. There's more money in EtOH. Less money in food. Unfortunately I can't buy a huge package of generic cheese puffs for under a buck anymore. So I don't buy them. Snack foods and other non-essentials are going to see business drop off as prices rise.
