Seven months living here and... (Puhi: credit, home, movies)

Milk has been hovering around $3.39 a gallon for 2% at the local Kroger's, here in Peoria, Illinois so $5 does not seem too bad at all, considering.

It's $2.39 a gallon for 2% at my favorite convenience store here in New York.

Yea, and the best thing about buying milk in Maine at this time of year is that you don't need to refrigerate it, just leave it sitting outside, no, wait a sec, it would more than likely freeze,,,,,,,,,that's why milk in Hawaii is a bit more, you have to refrigerate it,,, cost of electricity and all. I wonder,,,, does the milk come out of the cow pre-chilled in Maine at this time of the year????

No, it comes out very warm and steam is rising off it. I worked on a dairy farm in South Dakota in the 70's and remember it well. I'd rather not remember it.

Frangi914: To all a FYI….We have been inching our way up Hana Hwy

Suggest you stop at Mile 41 past Hana (Kipahulu) and visit Charles Lindbergh's grave at Palapala Ho'omau Church. It was an adventure finding it.

i don't know how much i pay for milk - i know as a family of two we never use all ours! if i got to move to your beach i probably would be perfectly willing to give it up. but, i live on an island (yes, in texas, where it is cheap) but i don't like going "over the bridge" so I pay like $6.00 for bacon, and $3.00 for eggs, cokes are cheap - but I'll bet I wouldn't drink so many cokes if they weren't and IF we could drink our water, which we can't even SEE through! So, youl live VERY cheap here and you can also make it cost more, like I seem too! The people paying $10.00 a gallon probably don't want to go over their bridge!
When we went to Hawaii for vacation we marveled over the clear water in the bathtub much less in the pacific compared to freeport, texas and the gulf of mexico. just putting that in the same sentence kind of makes me sick, because it is like the difference between heaven and hell. it's still the beach, and my baby sister can catch a wave all winter long but it's grey here ALL the time. Water, climate, air from the chemical plants And the water is yellow.
Don't know what that second paragraph had to do with the price of milk, but it was what reading you'alls posts made me type, so I'm leaving it there. I certainly hope my future has a post like yours in it!

Thanks - we plan on stopping as many places as possible and I have heard it's hard to find, so wish us luck!

Usually at our usual store, Kapaa Safeway. Costco too, but they for some reason don't carry 1%, only skim, 2% and whole. ??? So if we can't get our favorite 1% for $4.99 we get 2% at Costco. Big deal, a little more fat for one gallon. Another weird thing is that whole milk is usually less than 1% or 2%, I guess the lower-fat choices are more popular.

You have to deal with the fact that if you go to Safeway they might be - gasp! - out of gallons of 1%, so maybe you have to come back in a couple of days or buy it at Foodland (next door) for $1 more or get 2% at Costco.

Does anybody know what a gallon of milk costs on the mainland? I never paid attention when I was there.

Here in Barrow Alaska milk IS $10.00 a gallon. Tropicana orange juice is $10.00 for a half gallon. $20.00 for a Gallon. I believe the prices are even higher in some of the remote villages in the bush, if you can even get the stuff.
