People need to get up off their ass,go to the kitchen and bake their own cookies.It’s easy and a whole lot cheaper too.

I presume much of the problem is the huge increase in ag prices from making subsidized ethanol instead of things to eat. The prices for grains are up as are the prices for grain derived products like corn based sweeteners. The food market must not have born them increasing their prices enough to compensate. Not to mention US manufacturers can’t switch from suddenly expensive corn based sweeteners to sugar because of the artificially high price of sugar government maintains to prop up the uncompetitive sugar cane farmers in the southern US. Also note I write this an anti-ethanol Iowan!

One of my best friends is the grand daughter of “Mother” of Mothers Cookies. The story goes that “Mother” would bake the cookies and her husband would take them around on the horse and flatbed for sales and delivery. Through the wars it grew to a respectable confectionery company . When my friend's father took over the business, he modernized it and expanded the business east of the Rockies and finally sold it in the 80’s.
Our families were the ones who built up the bay area. Now it's a wreck. Sad times....

The maker of Archway and Salerno cookies said the company, crumbling under rising prices for raw ingredients, has halted operations and filed for bankruptcy. That's the way the cookie company crumbles.

Achway and Salerno cookies are back at most Roundy stores for the Holiday season anyway.
