Putting gas prices aside for a moment, what are you paying for a gallon of milk?

We just paid more than $4.00 a gallon yesterday.

Yesterday: $2.59

[Oceander]

Shelf price is $3.89; has been for a while.

At Publix here in the greater Daytona Beach Area, $3.63.

BJ's at $2.79. BUT. Butter is $3.00 lb. I don't get it.

They also have Land O Lake American cheese for $3.49/lb. BUT. All other cheeses are about $7/lb.

[Steely Tom]

$2.85, but am surrounded by dairy farms.

[Bigh4u2]

$1.75

—as an aside, petroleum and copper are the only reasons most people can have milk-—

~$2.50 at Costco in CT. Most foods are still very cheap their.

[usconservative]

Some places are $2.99, others like the large-chain grocery stores are in the $4/gallon range.

Eggs here are outrageous: $3/dozen. Cheese is $6-$7/lb. Beef prices I don't even look at anymore and I don't buy it either.....

We can drink only acidophilous (without lactose) and we eat only aged cheddar cheese (since it has a very low lactose level).

Acidophilous has always been higher than untreated milk but some of it today has a month and a half shelf life ~ so we can now buy the larger containers.

2.98

Meijer’s- $2.29.

Since the federal G”gansta” has destroyed most family farms through price fixing and grants, where only the huge corporate farms make the cut, ie, if the milk flows through the pipe w/o clogging, I don’t expect there will be much free market competition, add the cost of Ohbamma gas for production and transportation, probably say 10 bucks a gallon within 5 years..at that point who is milking who...

$2.29 was the sale price yesterday. The current list has been $2.99 recently, but usually one of the three main grocery chains here has it on sale for under $2.50. The annoying thing is that half gallons are almost the same price as gallons, and I rarely drink a full gallon before it goes bad.

At Wal-mart, typically ~ 2.59 (for skim milk).

At local “Drug mart” with memeber card I buy it for 2.19, at least for now.

Reg gas at Shell is 3.49 - but no mention in marxist media.

Getting tough for the home team these daze....

Eggs tend to vary with the price of wheat. Currently wheat is up. In the future wheat will be down.

Best bet on eggs is to get a half dozen hens and a rooster. You can throw out your alarm clock and the hens will nest around your home's foundation and keep the bugs scratched out.

You may need to train your dog to not kill chickens though ~ part of his job will be to guard the hens!

[fightinJAG]

We eat a lot of eggs. I am wondering if it might be cost-efficient to have a few laying hens around.

$1.98 at Aldi. No growth hormones in it either. Good product.Their price has held steady there for a long time, while other other stores are charging almost twice as much in some cases.
