Inflation Watch: New York City Bagel Shops

Inflation Watch, New York edition has been busy this week. I came across price increases on cat food, and at the Second Ave Deli. Now this: the New York Post is reporting that bagel prices have increased in the past year from 60 cents to one dollar at bagel shops across the five boroughs. It turns out that less wheat is being grown, resulting in higher wheat flour prices - a record high in fact! People are fuming too, and yet the prices keep rising!
