    Default Unusual post!

    Everywhere I turn, I see prices going up and up. Well here is something different:

    I went to BJ's wholesale and when I picked up some milk I realized that it was 20 cents cheaper!!! It was only $3.19 for a gallon of 2% and $2.99 for a gallon of skim! I was floored! If I had the space, I would have bought more!

    shhhh, don't let in the neighborhood on this, my 7-11 is cheaper on milk. I am afraid to get too excited because they will surely raise prices!!

    Walmart, king sooper, safeway here are 4.20 a gallon, and at 7 they are 3.50

    I have been reading that milk will be going down. It's about the only thing.

    Milk will be going down in the next couple of months as demand will decrease as schools will be letting out for the summer. And there will be more supply.

    Boycotting milk only pushes the small dairy farmers out of business
    and pricing is not their fault. Its ruining famlies.
    I can't take a mans livelyhood
    away.
    I know to many farmers that are going out of business.
    JMHO
    Milk is going down because cows awill be producing more milk in the summer on green feed. ( grass ) and that boosts milk production.
    Also they are calving so more milk there also

    boycotting pushes small dairy farmers out of business? where I live we buy milk at the grocery store and there are no dairy cows or farmers to buy milk from, not in this tri state area or anywhere close.
    The milk people buy where I live comes directly from factories ( not dairy farms)where they mix small amounts of milk with chemicals and vitamins to produce what they call milk, you can find it on any of the shelves at walmart, kroger, albertsons or sav a lot.
    The precent of milk is so small in them you'd be better off not drinking it...
    and switching to rice or soy milk as I have... organic is even better.
    They sell it at costco for about 12 dollars a case of organic soy milk.

    enjoy !......... its your health and life...

    I thought $3.99 for the name brand milk at the one gas station was a bargain after paying $4.39 or more for the store brand at Walmart or the grocery stores. Would love to see it come down even 50 cents or so!
