is everyone paying $5 a gallon for MILK ?

[nostamj]

or is this some NYC/Brooklyn thing that I just didn't notice until $ got a whole lot tighter?

of course, limes were 6/$1 which made we wonder how anyone can make a profit growing LIMES...

but I digress, fresh limeade is cheaper than milk but just doesn't work with a warm corn muffin...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

[RUSTY SHACKLEFORD]

5. Back in the good ole days...

a gallon of milk was cheaper than a gallon of gas. <sigh> But them days are long gone.

[proud patriot]

7. $3.99-$4.49 at Safeway ....$2.30 at Food4Less SF Bay Area

big price range , it really depends on where you shop.

[shugah]

8. $3.69 here

(michigan)

but i do buy a particular brand that comes from a dairy that does not routinely dose cows with antibiotics. i could save $.70 per gallon if i bought the store brand, but who knows about those cows? :shrug:

[hlthe2b]

9. Yup.... $4.79-4.99 in Denver for organic; slightly less for regular

And it sucks-- there was supposedly an overproduction not long ago, so what gives? Price controls?

[AlCzervik]

10. $3.89 at belair in elk grove ca

prices have been going up all things dairy in my area.

[IrateCitizen]

11. I'm paying $6.98/gal for organic milk...

... which is up just slightly from $5.98/gal which I was paying a couple of months ago. Frankly, we don't drink enough milk anymore for it to be that big of a deal.

[Nordic]

12. here in CA the prices of milk, cheese, and meat have gone WAY up

along with the price of gasoline.

But there's no inflation, according to our all-wise government

[Jim Sagle]

13. Normally $2.69 at Butera's in Northern Illinois. ($1.79 today).

[toddzilla]

14. i don't drink milk..

it's good but bad for you, and everything else.

[nostamj]

15. well, at least it *tastes* better in NYC

;-)

22. With three kids and and an elderly. I buy lots of milk and 4.69 a gal

The people who are telling you milk is bad are the same people telling you war is right. I don't believe nothing the government says anymore. They are paid to do studies. One day milk is bad, the next day its good. All things in moderation. My great Uncle, one of the best doctors of all time who actually started the birthing centers, said moderation and exercise. He lived to be 96, delivered 9000 babies and never sent a statement. He was educated at Emory and was one of the best MD's Georgia has ever known.

The man was treating patients the day he died. He drank milk. He was fit. HE smoked a cigar once in a great while and had a glass of Beer once in a while. He ate a great deal of vegatables, not a lot of meat, fish, and had a routine schedule of eating, exercise and slept when he was not on call. I trust his judgement.I am not that disciplined but I don't think everything is black and white. Moderation...Key to everything ! Socrates said it before him but I never heard till he said it.

16. Advertised for $1.99 last weekend ... but is usually $2.99

around here.

If I can't get it cheaper than $2.50 I just don't buy it. I bet stores have figured out that with these high prices, they sell less milk. I wonder if they had to throw away a lot of milk because people stopped buying.

[Christof]

17. $3.50 here in Minnesota.

:grr:

I should just get a bottle of Tums for my calcium. They're only .99 cents for a bottle.

[katym]

18. But Dairy prices in general have been rising

corn and wheat prices rise ---> Feed prices rise ---> more expensive to feed cows ----> more expensive dairy products :-D

Ahhh...yes, I am a farm girl.

[Nikia]

26. Bovine Growth Hormone will no longer be manufactured

The big dairies that used the stuff can't make as big of profits at the previous price, the price of milk goes up.

[CrispyQ]

19. $3.50 per HALF gallon for SILK.

Not the same, but I'm always stunned how much I pay for vegan replacement products. It's mostly soy beans, afterall!

[Bjornsdotter]

20. Northern Illinois.....ranges from...$4.29 to $1.79

....$4.29 at Dominicks

$3.79 at Jewel

$2.79 at Meijers, this week on sale for $1.79

$2.19 at a local store, everyday price


Cheers,

21. You do know that MILK is BAD for you right?

I wouldn't drink the stuff if you paid ME.

[RivetJoint]

23. I'm with you on that

The milk we buy in stores is for calves, not humans!

[TommyO]

24. Not a dime here....

but then again I don't drink milk at all. When I do need it for cooking or baking, I buy just enough for the recipe - the little bit left over gets dumped because it won't get used.

[Carson]

25. $3.49 here in KY

[Hubert Flottz]

That's why we got those big tax cuts!

So we could pay higher prices for EVERYTHING!

[Tracer]

27. $3.69 in MA

I love milk. A nice cold glass of milk with chocolate chip cookies. What could be better!

[Bruce McAuley]

28. I pay $5 a gallon for goat milk...

Since we milked goats in the past, I've developed a taste for it, and the wife makes the worlds BEST chevre(goat cheese). I pay the price rather than drink the store bought stuff, since these goats are local.
It's WELL worth it to me.
Yum, yum!
By the way, Moo Juice goes for around $3.50 a gallon here.

[UdoKier]

29. $5/gal here in San Fran.

Bu that's at the overpriced supermarket chains. Still about $3.70 at the Smart & Final warehouse store.

All groceries are high here. Probably same in NYC.

[meisje]

30. We only drink breast milk

[Freddie Stubbs]

31. I'm lactose intolerate

so the price of milk doesn't concern me very much.

[democratreformed]

32. $2.89 - $3.49 range here in Arkansas n/t
