Everything seems to be going up..........but nobody gets a cost of living raise to compensate the rise in things

~I go through 8 gallons a month right now. That's an extra $2.40 a month for me. Still a bargain, IMO. But I'll cut back on my usage by diluting whole milk with water and that should save me 1 gallon a month so I won't increase my costs. Thanks for the info!~

Thanks for sharing this article. It's shocking the way cost of food, gas, and living goes up so quickly and fluctuates so dramatically and the average person has to compensate by cutting their budget back even further for basic needs like milk or produce.

It seems like the price of everything keeps going up but wages sure aren't going up with them.

I heard that on Paul Harvey News this morning. I remember when it went up the last time. I try to buy mine at the gas stations instead, a lot of them still have it for less than $3.00 for now at least, and one of them is $2.79 each or 2 for $5...thats usually when I buy it

I cant hardly afford all the millk we drink as it is. My little one is still under two so she has to drink whole milk, otherwise I would water it down. ITs already up to 3.69 at my store.

Too bad the farmers aren't getting any more for the milk.
if they do it will be 1% yet feed is going sky high, fuel for their tractors is out of this world.
Someone is making money but its not the farmers. They are just going bankrupt.

Milk prices here went up about 5% a few weeks ago. I hope it doesn't go up even more.

whole milk jumped from 2.89 to 3.09 here.

Milk has gone up here, too....

Especially powdered milk...which went up about a month or so ago...from $12.99/box to $14.99/box!

We drink powdered because it comes out cheaper (and we can water it down a bit more...just goin' on cereal). Also, it saves a lot of "last minute runs" to the store.

Price yesterday (on sale) 1.99 - Today (on sale) 2.18. The same store and weekly ad! Of course it's skim - whole milk is 3.48 and not on sale.

You're absolutely right Holly.

Only when the last fish is poisoned, only when the last tree is cut down, will governments and private businesses realise that you can't eat money.

Yup, I noticed a difference in milk prices at Wal-mart last night.
