There appears to be a ridiculous price increase on large packs of dried foods in Amazon, ie quinoa, rice, raisins and nuts plus an extortionate price for postage and packing.

It's like when they sell second hand books for a few pennies but then charge £2.80 delivery and if you get a second book the delivery is doubled even from the same seller.
