<p>Any of you on WIC ever notice that the WIC approved food <a href="http://wicwoes.com/2010/price-gouging-and-wic" target="_blank">cost more</a> than other food in the store? I have and I'm wondering what causes it? Is it the store setting that higher price or is it the maker of the food selling the WIC approved version to the store for a higher price?</p>

<p>I don't use formula but I have heard that formula is expensive in part because of WIC too, I don't quite understand how it works. It does make me wonder though if the WIC program somehow encourages price gouging how much would the price of milk go down without the WIC program because on WIC we get a LOT of milk. I don't know if it really has in effect or not just curious</p>
