Ice cream prices in your area?

[Phentex]

There was a "news" story about people eating more ice cream recently and I was thinking about this. First of all, it's hot as hell and it's summer anyway. Wouldn't people eat more ice cream in the summer? And next, the prices have come way down. It seems like not long ago, I was whining about the cost but maybe that's when gas was through the roof?

I'm able to buy half gallons (or the supposed equivalent) for less than two bucks lately.

What's happening where you are?

1. I get the sugar free stuff here and only when I'm constipated.

(hey, it tastes a hell of a lot better than MOM and works just as well)

Those prices have actually kept edging up.

Yogurt prices are going down, though, and I can eat yogurt for fun and to cool off instead of for medicinal reasons.

2. Still grossly overpriced here

Most of the quart-and-a-half cartons are going for four bucks and change or more, unless on sale. The premium pints, like Ben and Jerry's and Starbucks run $3-4 when not on sale.

3. Like GoCubsGo above, the regular prices in our area are hight, BUT

they do seem to be running almost constant sales on everything from the store brand to Breyer's to Ben & Jerry's. Lucky for me, my local store doesn't stock the only B&J I can't resist... Pistachio.

4. The super premium stuff like Ben&Jerry's never goes on sale,but...

at least one of the next tier down is always on sale for $2-2.50 a phony half gallon around here-- Turkey Hill, Edy's, Breyer's, and Blue Bunny. I stock up when stuff like Bunny Tracks or French Silk is on sale.

Store brands and the occasional treat, even in ice cream shops, are cheap-- you can always pick up a cone or something for a buck or so.

5. I don't buy ice cream. But I have an ice cream maker I got last Christmas

and if we ever have any REAL summer weather (ie HOT) I might get in the mood to make some. It was cold this AM, so I just don't crave it.
