For those of you who make your own brats, how much are you paying this year for natural casings? Last year, we bought them from a local Fareway for about $18 for enough to package 100 pounds. My neighbor went there today, and when he got a pack from the meat department, they said the cost would be $57. He told them what we paid last year, and they simply replied the costs had gone up. I think more likely, they don't want to sell casings to the public. We are in the Des Moines area - any suggestions on where to get them? (Todd's Spices in Des Moines doesn't sell them - we checked there, already.) Thanks
