This is true. You have to watch prices when ordering from Amazon. They tend to raise prices pretty high but a lot of the time the price come down over time a bit as demand slows a bit.
I guess it comes down to how badly you need a given ingredient I guess.
Supply and demand.
Sadly more often than not there is more demand then there is a supply of various things.
Right now, yes, things like toilet paper, sanitizer, etc.
During normal times, if you have a huge supply that you charge a lot for, you will have that huge supply for a very long time.
