Has anyone else noticed that your LHBS has steadily increased their pricing over the last year?
I understand prices to produce products have gone up, operating expenses, yadda yadda but I was shocked to purchase a simple Kolsch recipe:
6 lbs Pale LME - $15
1 lb Light DME- $7
2 oz Hallertau- $8
Wyeast 001 - $8
The LME and DME haven't changed in price but the price of hops kills me.
They are charging $4 for 1 oz!!!
They also quit carrying an assortment of dry yeast packets.
I am all for supporting local business but not when it doesn't make sense $$$
Unfortunately I think I will be buying my dry yeast packets and hops online instead of supporting my LHBS.
Side note, I know they aren't hurting for business because they just doubled in size!!!
