What are Milk Prices in Your Area . . . .

[TexasTimbers]

My wife just told me a gallon of milk is getting real close to 5 bucks. Our favortire brand of dairy products, Schepps, has always been higher than any of the others, but everything they make just tastes noticeably better to us. The cottage cheese has a flavor that puts it in a league of its own. Their sour cream and half and half are the same way.

We aren't about to switch to another brand, but it's a good thing we don't go through milk like we used to. When we had all the kids in the house we were going through 1 to 1.5 gallons a day. That would be over $150 a month just for milk. She said that grocery prices in general are getting outrageous.

We might need to get a milk cow, or a goat.

Tammy says not on sale, its 3.69  On Sale, 2.89

Costs me the energy to get out and put a little feed in the box and then milk the goat.

Wife just told me the other brands are still south of $4 - it's just that her high maintenance husband has to have his special brand. :

She prefers Schepps products too, but when it comes to discussing the $1 more per gallon it's all because of *my* dairy elitist attitude.

$2.79 at Costco (member warehouse place) and  $3.80 at the Grocery store for store brand.  The local dairy's price, in the same cooler cabinet, is $6.00.

Mary makes a "milk run" every Saturday morning to a local retired postal worker/farmer in our neighborhood.  She pays $2.00 per gallon for raw, whole milk.  

She also picked up a couple dozen eggs and any vegetables that are in season.  In the springtime its strawberries. The last couple of Saturdays the in-season vegetable was big vine ripened tomatoes about the size of a soft ball.  I can eat one a day.  

I've found that I can drink the raw milk and not have the problems I remember having when I drank the store-bought stuff.

Milk in mid missouri is 3.49-69 store brand,  3.89-99 for name brand. Had a buddy that worked in diary processing plant, said they made milk for 13-15 different companies. Just like gas, comes mostly from one terminal in our area,but dozen different stations sell it.

In this area chocolate is $4.49 a gallon; store brand 2% milk is 3.99 and name brand (Flavo-rich) is 4.79 for 1% and 4.89 - 4.99 for 2%, depending on the store.  It has now surpassed gasoline prices .

That's a pretty good price, sprucegum.  Around here you can get charged as much as $500 for littering.  :D
