Wow! We're paying that much for 1/2 gallon! (Where in the world is FL getting milk anyway?) But a gallon is around $3.79.

I usually buy the double pack of Soy Milk and it's anywhere from $5.12 - 5.89. At least it keeps a lot longer.

About gas, it wasn't that long ago, say early 2001, that gas here was $1.39! And I complained...if only.

Gallon of milk is about 3.75 in the grocery here but at CVS and Wallgreens its about 3.35 or so and sometimes they have it on sale for 2.49 or 2.99... sigh...
I remember gasoline for 29 cents a gallon. and i remember a time when there were no cell phones or internet or computers except the really big ones.... am i THAT old???

All of our food products are going to cost more because of the gas prices going up. Who do you think will pay for this ~ consumers! However keep in mind that the ex-ceo of Exxon Mobile walked out on retirement with $400,000,000 plus benefits. That’s millions for those who can’t count 0’s. Don’t be mad at the “cow” follow the money and it goes back to Exxon.

The trickle down effect has already begun: increases in food prices; increase in all plastics; and increase in public transportation. Probably many I've missed.

The price in my part of Bush, Alaska, was $9.00/gallon. However, the local store stopped getting the gallon size containers because half the time they were spoiled upon arrival. So, we now buy milk by the 1/2 gallon cartons at $5.50 each, making the current price $11.00/gallon. What's worse, shipping cost are due to go up very soon, and we've been told to expect a gallon of milk to cost $13.00 by the end of June.

Shall we compare the price of bananas?
....$1.89-$2+ dollars/pound

How about gas?
....Depending upon which part of the Bush is being discussed, gas ranges from $5.00 - $9.00/gallon.
....(We get really irritated when news pundits state that "City X" in the Lower 48 has the highest price in the nation.
....Where do they think we live--Outer Mongolia?!!)

Watermelon?
....A good sized one can easily cost $40-$50!

I just paid $3.88 / gal for local produced milk...the cheapest I remember for gas was pumping it into cars (yes, there was a day when high schoolers like me actually got paid to pump it for customers!!) for $.26 a gallon.. ethel was $.32 a gallon...

"About gas, it wasn't that long ago, say early 2001, that gas here was $1.39! And I complained...if only."

So did I. Hey, it cut into my latte money!
Milk can be found for under 2.00/gal.
I remember when gas went over milk and said "at least we don't have to hear that sorry excuse anymore."

Had to run to the corner store for milk this morning and it was $4.59 for one gallon. Usually the supermarkets have a 2gal for $4.50 or so if you buy the right brand. If I want rBST free milk, I have to pay over $3.00/gallon

Last week, gas was $3.59/gal for the cheap stuff.
And I remember when gas was $0.25/gallon.

Wow why in the world is milk so high.....did the cows go on strike?????

Here is central Illinois, it runs about 2.75 to 3.00 at the stores but the convenience gas stations and Walgreens are running it at $1.89 or $1.99 per gallon. Of course our gas is at $3.39 for the cheap stuff.....and $3.59 for premium.

So I guess this means we have a lot more cows wandering around giving milk and a lot fewer oil wells here in the midwest. Wonder if we can get our cows to start producing gas instead of milk....LOL

When I was a teenager gas was $.25 per gallon and milk at $.50.....bread at $.10 loaf and cigaretts at $.26 per package.
