Do you know the price of milk?

I know the price of milk, but it varies according to which store I'm at (Dari-Mart is cheaper than WinCo, but they are both cheaper than Fred Meyer-unless they have a sale on milk & Freddie's generally cheaper than Safeway or Albertsons). Does that answer your question. Basically, it varies too much to give an exact answer.

Soymilk maybe.

30p a pint in Sainsbury's. I took note today because I knew this survey was on its way out of qual. Ordinarily I wouldn't have a clue because I don't use milk. Ask me how much anything else I use on a regular basis costs though, and I could tell you. I have to mind my pennies.

For example, I just checked the Freddie's ad online and a half-gallon (plastic jug-store brand) is on sale for $1.25 right now (4 for $5), the current (and regular) price of a half-gallon of milk at WinCo in a plastic jug is $1.39 (store), $1.49 for a carton (paper) of Darigold brand. You see how it varies? Generally, though you will find that (at least in my area) that the name brands such as Darigold, Umpqua, Echo Spring are more expensive than the store brands. The exception being Dari-Mart brand because they have their own dairy and plant in the county and run their own Dari-Mart stores and even then it varies as to whether you buy your milk in a returnable merlon jug, a paper carton or a standard plastic jug.

It varies. At the supermarket I pay around $2.95 for 3 litres. At the fuel station I pay that for 2 litres.

No. I don't need to.

I didn't read much of that, but what I did read seemed a lot like very bad science....

Really? It's always seemed intuitive to me, if that makes any sense. How can another animal's milk really be all that healthy for us. I dunno. I believe that there's more harm than good to come from dairy products. I've had a hell of a time cutting down on them, but I'll keep trying.

About $2.50 for a gallon of Luvel at Kroger.

I would have thought in the same way as another animal's meat is good for us.... There are some dodgy things added to milk that it might be wise to avoid, but that site seemed less concerned by that than the milk itself.

Around two dollars a litre. I don't pay much attention to the exact prices of anything, but I have a pretty good idea what they cost. I shop at a number of different stores, each of which would have their own prices.

$2.25 for a gal. 2% at both grocery stores in my town.

This question comes from a situation that happened several years ago in USA, where a standing president (I think, I forget which one), didn't know the price of milk. The media went off on it, as it seemed to show the president was out of touch with the common man.

That was president Bush Sr. His rival Bill Clinton who became president knew what the price of milk was.

I agree about meat. I think one of the main concerns about milk itself, is that it's structured to fulfill the nutrional requirements of a growing calf, and some people believe that increased consumption of milk, and the hormones that are naturally present in it, is causing things like very premature puberty.

That's what I had thought... thanks.

$3.89/gallon or so here.

I always thought prmature pubert related more to the stuff we inject cows with to make them produce more milk - like giving them extra oestrogen. That's a production problem, rather than something inherent in cows. The major reason for premature puberty is probably that we get so much more to eat nowadays than we used to.

Depends on where you buy it. At 7-11 it costs $3.79.

Hmm.

Not really--I guess it varies from store to store.

No.

hey, are you a vegan?? i used to be one so ive read up on all that stuff, now im only a vegetarian, but still, just wondering

3.29 (gallon) 2.19 (1/2 gallon) at Publix, the grocery store that I work at

I think it's presumptive for anyone to think someone is out of touch with the common man for not knowing the price of milk. I can't remember numbers or prices very well. That doesn't make me out of touch with anything but numbers.

I buy organic milk, which is almost twice as expensive as regular milk, but I don't know exactly, because I don't really remember the price.

2.60$ for a gallon of "Schepp's" vitamin D milk. 1.70$ for a half gallon. Same price for "True value" 2% milk.. This is at the Wal-Mart in Huntsville, TX, and hour north of Houston.

Now if you mean the price from the cows, the price to raise the cow, the shiping, the materials used for production, etc., then I have no idea.

Well, I didn't make this up... it's just something that was in the media at one point. I think the point is that some people have to mind every penny and so they are forced to keep track of the price of basic foods. Perhaps, the common man would not have the luxury of buying organic milk because it is too expensive.

I know that I don't keep track of prices because they don't really matter that much to me. I guess I have plenty of money (at least for food... at the level, I don't care... more expensive stuff, I do care about price). Though, my dad, who has a lot more money than me, is a real penny pincher, clips coupons, etc. He knows the price of a whole lot of food items and will go out of his way (different stores) to get a better price on a single item. It's sort of a hobby for him.

Not quite. Working on it I suppose.

ahh, i see, well one bit of advice from an ex vegan, it is VERY hard because nearly every product out there has some form of milk/whey in it or eggs...you wouldnt believe it lol

well here in florida at wal-mart its 2.89......no tax included, we aint got taxes on food,

I know! It's been surprising so far. I don't think I plan on being too strict about it, but cutting out most of the obvious things is beginning to be more important to me.

$1.89 a gallon from the store, that's for normal hormone injected stuff, but the organic milk runs about $2.50 per half gallon

right on sista'!!! (nice to see another milk 'activist' around here...my kiddo only drinks soy milk as well, and if i give him any in his cereal, it's the organic cow milk)

One of my favorite things is using my money to vote with, know what I'm saying? It sucks that decent, non-chemical laden food has to cost so much more than standard grocery fare, but it does feel good to shop for change, heehee. Soymilk is good on cereal, I think. Your little darlin' doesn't like it?

I know its £1.09 for a big one. But I don't know how many litres 'a big one is'. Its not the biggest one but its big.

I buy the organic kind, which is $3.49 for a half-gallon at my store.
Has someone been watching "The West Wing"?

I wouldn't expect a well-off person, even one who is very in touch with the common man, to have the price of milk memorized when average people don't have it memorized.

2.59/gal

Nope.. I just buy it.. I think it's 2.79 a gallon though.

This is one of those stock questions that celebrities get asked in interviews to see whether they're out of touch with the drudgery of daily life.

Trouble is, I don't really know the answer either, at least not to the question, "How much is a pint of milk?". I buy mine in litres, and a 2 litre bottle of milk is about £1.10. I guess a pint would be about 30p?

he doesn't mind it on cereal, but if he's doing more 'playing' than actual eating of it, the cereal gets funkier quicker, so instead of chucking out the cereal all the time, i just give him the other stuff for in the long run i guess it evens out...but he never drinks the cow milk though, only the soy, he's been drinking soy since he's was an infant. when he was born i nursed him, but my own milk wasn't as plentiful as it should have been, so i decided to nurse AND supplement w/soy at the same time..i give him eden soy original extra, he doesn't really care for the vanilla or chocolate flavored stuff though...which one do you prefer?
and yes i totally agree that it's a shame that 'good' food costs more, but i guess i'm more conscious of portion control now, just beacuse of the cost factor..and not to mention how much better everything tastes w/o all that chemical crap! (have you ever tried 'newman-o's'?? organic oreos...holy cow, AWESOME stuff!!)

It depends on the location and the size. A medium size choclate milk at shoppers is 1.35

I have had the pleasure of one Newman-O, and it was yummy! We buy Silk vanilla soymilk, and I like it quite a bit, even my husband, former milk-aholic can deal with it! That's too bad about your problems with breastfeeding, but I commend you for working so hard at it! One of my favorite brands, for quick and easy stuff, is Amy's. Yum yum yum. Vegetarian and organic, and the things that are vegan are clearly labeled so. Wonderful company.

yeah...i was bummed about nursing, for i wasn't able to as long as i had hoped, but at least i didn't give him formula!!! currently i only give my kiddo snacks that are natural, well for the most most, he DID just go trick or treating yesterday, but crackers and cereal and stuff, i try so hard to find stuff that doesn't have all the crap in it. it really makes me sick to go shopping on a budget and read labels and things, EVERYTHING has some crap in it....i'mgoing to find a link for you....i think you'll enjoy it
yeah, AMY'S is awesome...love that company, barbara's makes some good stuff too
(kudos to you for converting your former milkaholic hubby!! i've tried soooo hard to get mine to NOT eat so much meat, quite frustrating!grrrr...)

http://www.aubrey-organics.com/index.cfm

this company is AWESOME!!! their products are a little bit more pricey, but you can totally tell the difference in everything. so if want to spoil yourself sometime, i really suggest you spoil yourself w/something anything from these people...i personally have been using their stuff for over 5 years, don't always have the money to get it, but...well worth it!!

Oh yes, the meat struggles My hubby is thin as a rail, so he thinks he can eat whatever he wants. Or at least he used to. Now that he's learned more about good food it's not such an issue. I'll definitely check out that link, thanks! Do you ever check out the recipes at vegweb.com? There are some pretty good ones. I'm on a 'soda' kick right now, juicing apples and grapes and stuff, and adding fizzy water, it's great.

vegweb.com??? haven't been there, but will indeed check it out! thank you...
'soda' sounds great! try juicing carrots along/the apples, or maybe a peach or apricot?? hmmm...i have a book you may be interested in, i've read it and got what i need from it, it's called "tonics"...similar to the 'soda' thing, but for healing purposes, w/recipies and things...if you're interested, let me know for i'd be more than happy to send it to you, if you're comfortable w/ that of course....
thanks again for the site recomodation!!
have you ever seen the book "enchanted broccoli forest"...it's GREAT cookbook...a lot of fun!

The carrots in with the juice thing...I was amazed! It tastes so good. I've also been adding a few spinach leaves in, and you can't notice that flavor either, but it does turn the juice brown! I'd love to peek at that book, but I'd feel bad, so maybe I have one I could send back to you! This could be fun! And now I'm going to check out the Broccoli Forest at Amazon!

oh...don't feel bad....i'd be more than happy to send it to you, for i think you'd really enjoy it...
(and really...how yummy is carrot juice even?!?!?!???? there is brand out there that sells straight up frozen carrot juice in a little half pint container..man i miss that stuff terribly, haven't been able to locate it in eons!!)
do you have a juicer? i'm assuming so, but eh...one never knows for sure!
anyhow...here is my e-mail addy...you can send me you home addy...i prolly won't be able to get it in the mail though until around thursday or so...but...if you want..**waving book at you**

No.

I just paid $3.19 for a gallon. Last week it was $1.25 per half gallon on sale.

45 cents or something.

The price of milk here where I live in the U.K. is ONE POUND 21 PENCE (this is for a 4 pint carton). How does that compare to you?
