I remember that one well! I've been slowly stock piling dark chocolate as that is my favorite. Unfortunately, DH is also a chocoholic and keeps reducing my stash!

NOoooooooo say it ain't so !!?? :(

How can they raise the cost of chocolate AND cotton at the same time??? There has to be some kind of law against that!!!

I hope this is just an inaccurate rumor cause it's hard to stockpile chocolate....if it's in sight it is meant to be eaten! And if it's held at above about 70 degrees you may encounter the unsightly fat blooming (looks discolored/greyish from the fat rising to the surface)

Ugh! Don't need it daily, but when I need it hard to not think about it. Ever see the shows on TV and the cocoa bean harvesting? You would think there was a shortage. Wait, you can go into a retailer and think that, what with the price of the stuff! Lucky me, I got a 3 lb 8 oz bag (lotta chocolate!) of Kisses and a tulip plant yesterday from DH. I told him he didn't need to get me Dove chocolates this year (my favorite). He must have thought I was still asking for the chocolate, just a different kind... lol
I did hear that the price of cotton was going up. Can't imagine paying more for cotton fabric!

The price is gonna sky rocket on a lot of things. Shortage of corn will make groceries go up and up.

I see cotton is double the price it use to be.

Spend NOW while you money can still buy something.
Or put it in the bank and watch it depreciate

do you think we are headed for a black market on Chocolate?

Only problem with stockpiling - if it is in the house, I know it - that little bird keeps reminding me it is there - which means it soon will be gone- As is my waistline. If I have to drive to get it, there is a better chance I won't eat it - MAYBE....

This is going to be a rough year if both cotton and chocolate are going up in price.......UGHHHHHHHHHHH

I heard this too. But I had to give up chocolate when I learned that I am a diabetic. I lost weight giving up sugar. When I miss it I put diet hot chocolate powder on my popcorn,that does the trick for me. :thumbup:
