Really..$4.36 for a gallon of whole milk!
My mouth dropped to the floor last night when my family night that was suppose to be "having a good time" turned into (for me anyway) worry when my family night ended.. running into Super Walmart real quick for a couple of items which obviously milk was on the list and I saw the price for the store brand..I told my dh we still have a gallon at home and I'm not paying that price..Then when we went to leave the store a woman with a few bags of groceries leaning up against a post outside the store I looked at her and smile as I walked away she asked me for a ride to a place I never heard of I politely told her no..I've never had that happen before..It will be a very rough ride for all of us I'm afraid!

Our local gas station is currently running a promo on gallons of milk--2/6$. Since we go through milk like crazy, we've been buying all of our milk there.

A few years ago I had just gotten off work and was getting in my car and some old lady walked up to me and was quite adamant I was going to give her a ride to walmart. She was upset that I said no. The nerve.
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

when the price of milk started going up I started buying powdered milk (on sale and/or in bulk) to use when cooking. THAT cut my milk buying in half. Hubby and I love milk. We don't drink it as often now. I buy it when I find it on sale and that is it. I also buy whole milk and water it down by 1/4-1/2.

Hubby laughed out loud when I told him milk was on sale this week for $2.99.
Milk $3 on sale He was laughing and shaking his head.
I was going to pick some up when I noticed that Aldi's (where I was before heading to that store that had it on sale) Aldi's had their milk priced at $2.94 a gallon.
I also picked up three dozen eggs at 89 cents a dozen while at Aldi's too."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS

We've been paying over $4 a gallon here for a long time, several years at least.
I'm guessing this has to do with the drought. Farmers are selling off their dairy cows because of not being able to grow feed for them due to weather.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the last couple times I have went to Buehlers they had gallons of milk that were set to expire in a couple days to .99. As much as we go through I bought 5 and froze them then when i went two weeks later they had it again and I bought 5 more used the first and froze the rest. I think I have 1 left in the freezer. My nephew went to get milk the other day out of my fridge and says "did you know your milks expired" i said its not and he said it says "july 7th on it!" I may have to let it thaw a day or so, but for .99 compared to over $4 thats fine by me

Dh and I stopped at the grocery store last night to buy milk and bread and the prices were so high on the milk that I called my parents on the phone to tell them about it! The cheapest was $3.99 and it went up from there to $5.99 on sale for the organic! I buy the store brand and $3.99 is expensive imho! The last gallon of milk that we bought I got for free from Walgreens with my reward dollars there and dh whined about the $3.59 price despite me not having to pay for it. He thought it would be cheaper in the grocery store, but I explained that I found out earlier this summer that WG sells it cheaper. These prices are ridiculous and getting worse daily!

Our local store has it on sale this week for 2.79. We also have a program at this store where you buy 10 gallons get one free. It's a good store, they have classes for people wanting to try couponing.
