Expensive? I just bought a gallon of whole milk for $.98.
I live in SC. Admittedly that is a sale price but normal everyday price is about $1.40 per gallon
It’s usually around $3.60-$3.80 here in NW Florida................
Here in northern Oklahoma, it’s usually a little under $4 a gallon. (It’s cheaper at Aldi; and the DG in our town). This isn’t exactly dairy country. (You’d think it would be, being cattle country, but I guess when calves are weaned, they just breed the cow over and over, til it’s worn out).But then, neither is Texas, where it’s about $2. Oklahoma has very few grocery store options, though. Homeland and United, and Harps are owned by the same outfit, and specialize in small towns (and high prices). Pyramid Foods and Country Mart (owned by the same concern as Save Alot and Price Cutters, only much more expensive), and an Oklahoma only group, Reasors, also very expensive. We do have a few Aldi’s, the closest one from us being 20 miles away. We drink a lot of milk, so DG is the place I go for it, for $2.50 a gallon, “on sale”, now, in our town only, for the past couple of years.
It’s nearly $4 gallon in TX at Walmart.
Consider what it takes to put a gallon of milk on the store shelf. Even at $3.00 a gallon it is cheap and considering how good it is that is even dirt cheap to me.
My wife pays $4.46 a HALF-gallon for the Horizon Organic milk because she thinks it tastes better and lasts longer even though it seldom stays in the ice box more than a few days. Some battles you just concede.
