How much is milk everywhere?

I just paid $4.19 for 2% a gallon. I think this is really outrageous.

About $2.89-3.something a gallon.

Milk is almost $4.00 a gallon. It is $3.50 at the local warehouse grocers.

I am not sure but I think this is because corn has gone to gasoline additives and not to the cows .... so milk is higher. Is that a paradox? Lower gas prices.....higher milk? The only problem I have is that milk is transported by train or diesel power......not by gas powered trucks that use the ethanol (corn) additive.

Soon it's gonna be cheaper to buy your own cow.

And once everyone gets their own cow they can install a mini methane converter to run their electricity!!!!

2% is $3.99 a gallon if you buy two at once it is $6.50 way to expensive.

If we all had our own cow and a mini methane converter........we could make butter and fat free at the same time.

I just checked my local shop:

Tesco Whole Milk 2.272ltr/4 PintsProduct info £1.15 (£0.51/litre)

2 for £2.00 SAVE 30p - valid from 10/07/2007 until 02/09/2007

Tesco Pasteurised Semi-Skimmed Milk 2.272 Ltr £1.15 (£0.51/litre)

2 for £2.00 SAVE 30p - valid from 10/07/2007 until 02/09/2007

Tesco Healthy Eating Skimmed Milk 2.272ltr/4 Pints £1.15 (£0.51/litre)

2 for £2.00 SAVE 30p - valid from 10/07/2007 until 02/09/2007

From the Fresh Milk shelf

The US gallon is 8 pints of 16 ounces each

The UK gallon is 8 pints of 20 ounces each and it's 4.544 litres

The UK pound is $2.02 today

So that's US $3.23 a US gallon.

"Whole Milk" here is about 3.7%, it's exactly the same price in that shop as the semi-skimmed 2% product and the skimmed 1% product at the moment.

As a related comment, I'd read http://www.realmilk.com/what.html and consider what exactly you're buying. I'd not use milk at all if I lived in the US. The entire concept of food quality has collapsed there under capitalist pressure.

y'know, I really have no idea

sounds awful doesnt it? I dont drink milk but do occasionally get some for my OH, its organic so probably more expensive than the 'normal' stuff - how on earth am I so out of touch?
