Rep Power: 10 | Are you kidding? Wow, I had no idea milk was that expensive. But, wait, I do buy the organic milk in the half gallon. It runs about $3.49 so that comes to almost $7.00 a gallon!
Funny how now gasoline is cheaper than milk by the gallon. Never thought that would happen.

Rep Power: 10 | I looked at Sams Club today, theirs was only 3.59 a gallon. I guess I should have waited and got it there. I didn't think Kroger would be THAT much more. | |

| I've never lived anywhere where milk was cheaper than gas. I guess I'm living in the wrong places. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Wait a moment, if the out-put is higher it should help lower the price?
My brother-in-law milks 30 head, he has an organic farm but sells his milk to a non-organic buyer. He says the price is about the same. Why are you paying more? Just wondering out lound, mind you... | |

Rep Power: 10 | Depends on where you live and access to local farmers. Just like gasoline. We have zero refineries anywhere near here, so our gas is more expensive.
But then, our produce is much less expensive because we have an abundance of local farms that grow produce.
