Sorry, not buying it. It’s nearly $4 a gallon here in Georgia where it’s typically a lagging state for inflation. I call BS on your $2.49 in California unless it’s a promotion to lure you in to other over priced items.
No it is the regular price when you buy two gallons, (I freeze one), even Albertsons is about $2.89 if you buy two.
California milk prices are controlled by the state. Not a free market then again it is california.
I becha long-haul truckers are pushing $4,000 for fuel in the past month alone. The previous one, I have evidence it was $3,500.
And we’re not talking maintenance.
ansel12 is right...
A gallon of milk is $1.99 at Price Rite in NY. That’s the price all the time. Aldi also has comparable prices.
My grocery store carries gallon containers of milk that are “WIC Approved.” I’ve been paying under $2 for them. I used to buy organic milk in cartons, but it’s now around $4. When the price of butter skyrocketed a month or so ago, the store also started carrying a no-name butter. Regular butter went to between $4-$5 dollars. The no-name is $2.99. I stocked up and have a lot frozen. Almost all the meat I buy is from the “clearance” section and I stock my freezer with it. I haven’t seen chicken on sale for under a dollar per pound for over a year. I’m about 30 miles from a grocery store so I don’t go very often. It becomes noticeable when prices raise between visits- not so much the frog in the pot. I was shocked to find butter that was under $3 had gone up $0.50 between visits a few weeks ago.
You can get milk cheaper if you buy it at the small convenience stores, at least up here. Here in Massachusetts, Cumberland Farms advertises it occasionally for $2.79 or something like that, but you have to buy the exact one they advertise (like 1% or whatever)
My wife pointed this out to me. If I get it at the supermarket, it is $4.00 a gallon. She says the convenience stores do it to get people in the door.
Milk is cheaper on west coast, we pay 2.39 a gallon and that is up from $1.99.
Around $2.50 here in Georgia at Walmart.
Of course, at Whole Foods you can pay up to $8.
I got milk this week for $2.33 a gallon. non sale price here is $3.49
Sorry, but I believe the Ca. price. I live in Western Washington, not far from Tacoma, and I paid $2.58 gallon just yesterday at Winco. Darigold butter is going for about $3.00 a pound, chicken legs and thighs are typically .99 - 1.29 pound, and the frozen bags of breast strips, usually go for about $7.00 for a 3 pound bag. Now, the BEEF on the other hand, I rarely buy anymore, just too expensive. I can get a 5 pound chub of ground turkey for $8.00, versus about $15 for ground beef, and that’s not even LEAN ground, it’s the regular 70/30 crap that shrinks away to nothing when you cook it. Georgia must have some high costs elsewhere to make milk $4 a gallon. Only time I’ve paid that price here is when I stop at a gouge-n-go. But I will say prices have been going up. This time last year I was paying $1.99 gallon for milk, and we go through a gallon a day, so I’m VERY aware of the prices!
