Bang!Zoom! Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 15 hours of moving in 108 degree heat, up to the third floor. It's ten at night and we've been at this since 7 a.m. never eating...ugh. So. Finally. Go to Grocery Store to find something to eat. Six bucks for butter (this is Albertsons)? 5.50 for a gallon of milk? What kind of joke is this? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alenee Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Milk- $2.79/gallon at Winco (name brand) Butter- $2.49/lb. at Costco (Kirkland brand) Okay, after seeing the previous replies, I feel guilty having complained that all dairy products have gone up in price. String cheese DID skyrocket. It was $2.50 for a 12 pack last year. Now it's $3.79. I used to be able to get a 24 pk. for $4.50...now it's up over $7. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I just got back from the store a little while ago and it was $2.49 for a gallon of whole milk. (That's not on sale; I normally pay under $2.) The store was running a promo, though - buy 4 General Mills cereals and get 2 gallons of milk free! Awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 4 liters of raw milk from my neighbor costs $1.77 4 liters of bagged, pasteurized milk (the closest thing to US regular milk) costs between $3.00 and $3.35 4 liters of ultra-pastuerized boxed milk costs $4.75 Butter costs about $2.50 a pound, or maybe less. It's difficult for me to find bagged milk because it doesn't have a very long shelf life and there's very little demand for it in my town. Most people buy a liter or two a day of milk from a neighbor, or maybe more if they make other dairy products. Since the average salary in Kyrgyzstan is less than $200/month, milk is relatively expensive here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfcartmama Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's 2.69 here this week for store brand gallon. If you get a 'name' brand, it's 4.99 a gallon--this is skim, not sure if whole is the same or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I don't buy at the store but last I seen I *think* it is around $2.5-$3 gallon. Raw milk from the Mennonites is $2.50 and 100% grassfed is $10 gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Regular price at wal-mart right now is $2.48/gal., but I bought it on sale ad-matched to Fry's for $1.59/gal. With ad matches I can usually get it for $2/gal or less, as someone or other will have it on sale. Now, getting it home in triple digit weather with no car...that's another conversation!

Renee in NC Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 $3.39 for store brand milk and $5+ for name brand. Why buy name brand? I got butter at $1.99 on sale the other day (I think...or was it $2.99?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) It is $12 U.S. Dollars per gallon here. No that is not a typo. All dairy products are brutally expensive here. Edited July 29, 2011 by Heather in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLDoll Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 At the regular grocery store where I stopped to pick up a few things yesterday, they wanted $6 for the brand name milk, and $4 for the store brand. I usually buy milk at Costco where it's $3, give or take depending on skim/whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 With conversions and exchange rates, I'm paying US $5.40 for a gallon of milk, and that's only because I am able to buy wholesale from the milk delivery man. If I was buying at the store it would be US $8.05 per gallon. (I pay BR R$2.30 per liter, so I'm first converting liters to gallons, then doing the exchange rate....) I'm in Sao Paulo (ish) Brazil.

Caroline Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I buy it by the case at Whole Foods. It is $2.50 for a gallon of skim if you buy 4 gallons.

LauraGB Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) $3.57 for regular (store brand), $6.29 for organic. ETA Butter is inconsistent, though. One store has its store brand 1lb for $3.89 (organic $6.99), another store has their store brand for $2.39 (organic $6.99), and yet another store has a few organic varieties starting at $3.89 up to $5.99.

mrs.m Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If I go to Cub Foods on Wednesdays it is $1.99. Otherwise I pay about $2.50-2.75 depending on the store. I'm not certain about butter.

Live2Ride Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 We pay $4 a gallon from our friends farm 8 miles down the road for creamery milk. Good stuff! Their butter is $5 lb. Store bought cheap milk is just under $4 at WalMart, but that stuff is gross...always starts to taste funny after a few days. The better milks from Kleinpeter (local dairy here) are over $5.50.

TrixieB Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 At our nearest supermarket: $2.59/gallon for the cheapest kind. $2.99/gallon for store brand (seems like store brand would be priced lowest, but it isn't). Somewhere around $6/gallon for organic. But -- it depends on the supermarket here. Some price their store brands at $4/gallon. Location: western WA, urban area.

Because I live on a small island off the coast of mainland Malaysia, we have no dairy farms. All dairy products are imported mostly from Australia and New Zealand.
