Dear Lactnet Friends:

Besides the WIC subsidy driving the retail price of formula higher, this
article speaks about theft making it more expensive.

<http://blog.nrf.com/2011/01/04/the-big-business-you-want-to-see-fail/>

"In many instances, organized retail crime groups target several retailers
in one day moving from state to state stealing and re-selling merchandise
through fencing operations such as flea markets, pawn shops, Internet sites
and swap meets. These groups often steal thousands of dollars worth of
merchandise at a time with the intent to resell it for profit. The most
popular items targeted by these groups are goods in high demand commanding
up to a near-retail resale price, such as designer clothing, gift cards,
over-the-counter medicines, electronics, batteries and infant formula."

warmly,
