What does a Gallon of Milk cost you?

Kroger just charged me $5.75 for a gallon of skim milk. It was milk from a local dairy because I like to buy local products as much as possible.

I had been using dry milk from my pantry so I was a little sticker shocked when I saw the cost of fresh milk.

What are you paying for a gallon of milk in your area? I live in Central MS.

You guys are paying a premium price for local products, organic, etc.

It's about $3.50 a gallon here for no name brand whole milk.

I recall a thread where I saw that Mel's Thinking It Over said that she bought whole milk and added water to it. That's pretty smart. Whole milk is the same price as 2% or skim milk. Just save your old milk jugs, add whole milk ans water to whatever strengths you desire.

Do note that 1/2 gallon sizes are one nickle (that is 5 cents!) less than a full gallon of milk here, so check prices before thinking that a half gallon will make you a gallon plus. Use a gallon to make 2-3 gallons for the best price.

Nothing. I stopped drinking milk when I found out about BGH. The amount of puss that is in your milk.

That was a bad day, I loved a nice ice cold glass of milk. I do have a goat to milk If I want fresh milk. The goat milk is pretty much what I would expect, it's milk. The difference is that the fresh milk has more fat, ie: more calories.

calories is what make the world go round.
