Over the last couple years with the gov screwing up the economy I keep hearing about the price of milk as an example of how bad things are.

Here in Phoenix the price of milk has hardly changed. At the local Kroger supermarket I can regularly get a gallon of milk for about $1.70 and probably half the time they are on sale for $1.49. Even during the height of the pandemic and supply chain issues I dont think it went about 2 bucks a gallon.

Recently visiting my mother in Oklahoma milk was nearly 4 dollars a gallon.

What is the price where you are at and what do you consider the "normal" price?

Is our milk cheaper because we have a large cattle and dairy industry in Az?

We don’t buy much milk so I looked it up. Walmart App has it for $3/gal in Chattanooga. Google shows the average in Chattanooga is $4.

No clue. Haven't bought milk in 8 years since the last kid left the nest. 1/2 and 1/2 is all we buy for my wife's hot drinks she makes.

I looked it up, our closest Fred Meyer (Kroger) is $4.29 a gallon. Considering we pay nearly half that in freight to get it to Alaska, that doesn't seem too bad.

$5 here in Iowa.

Before we elected poopy pants it had been $3 for almost 10 years. Even when Obama drove gas prices up milk and all other groceries didn't go insane.

The milk I buy is about $8/half gallon. Price doesn't seem to have changed much lately.

No idea what industrial-farmed plastic jug puss water costs here, though, nor do I care...

I buy very little, the only reason I know now is my daughter & her fam was here from TX for a month. $2.72 @ Wally World. Maybe a bit more @ a local dairy store. Farmers are getting f**ked big time, but then that's another topic!

Just paid $2.99 gallon at the local mom and pop, but we’re also surrounded by dairy farms...

$7/gal, but that is delivered once a week to our door by the local diary. Eggs, bread, bagels and other perishable items. Makes it so that I’m not having to run to store for that crap at night. My kids have it so easy. We had one fridge and four kids when I was growing up. That’s a gallon a day of milk I had to go get as soon as I had my drivers license…

I probably buy 2 gallons a week.

What amazes me is that we're paying less for a gallon of milk in the road system part of Alaska, than many of you in the states.

$2.79/gal.

I buy stuff for $4 a half though, and drink about 1.5 gal a week

When I was a kid my Mom would bring home two gallons of fresh from the Cow whole unpasturized Milk with the cream still on top.
The first time I had "Store Milk" was in the Military.
I don't drink milk anymore.

Milk may be OK in AZ, but everything else is insane. A trip to grocery is traumatic for my wife. I have never looked at grocery prices but my wife loses her mind.

Cgrunt, it has to be all the cattle / cows in AZ with homegrown leche. My guess, but it seems you were correct.

I couldn’t tell you, I haven’t drank milk in 4 years. I think my wife buys a 1/2 gallon every now and then to bake with but I don’t know how much she pays.
