I shop at a Smith’s store in Dayton, NV, which is affiliated with Kroger. I can buy butter at the prices you are quoting, but have never seen milk at the prices you have. More like $2.80 at best. Even Wal-Mart has a price that hovers around $3.50.
Sounds like a simple rate structure.
That’s true. Our foreign trading partners now use more complicated strategies to cause trade imbalances.
“have never seen milk at the prices you have. “
I still find it hard to believe I can get milk for $1.19/gal. It is likely temporary. Since Kroger doesn’t advertise it, I presume it won’t last long.
I visited Vancouver, BC about a year ago. We stopped in a grocery store to buy snacks and I couldn’t believe how expensive milk and chicken were. Milk was almost twice as expensive (in US dollars) and chicken was as expensive as beef and pork. Viva la Regulation.
Recently in MS, I bought a gallon of milk for $1.09 at Kroger. Couldn’t believe it was that low.
