For that price they should pour the milk in a glass for you. And then wash your dishes. Clean the rest of the kitchen.

funny, my sitter called me on the way to her house the other day and asked me to pick up milk...$4.50! wow! Now I know why I don't buy milk at gas stations!
Considering I pay less than $3 at Aldi's that was definitely a sticker shock moment for me.Judy

When I first read your sentence I was wonder is it $4.50 for the milk or the gas
I paid $6 a gallon for organic the other day. Luckily for us we don't use too much milk...Frugalista Mama to DD 12 & DS 8

Just paid 6.00 for organic as well , unless I get from my local farm.*Angel*

Sounds like the California cows are not so happy with the price for their goods any more LOL!! Being from Wisconsin, I grew up on a dairy farm so now that commercial always makes me think - really? are cows happy anywhere?
Thankfully, this month our best mini-mart is selling milk for $2.29/gallon. I've talked about figuring out how to freeze it at that price but have yet to do so.
We call milk "liquid gold" at our house - we go thru more than a gallon a day..... eek.3/26 Afghan #3: 58 done of 191 rows
