$4 for a gallon of milk
In carlisle kentucky a gallon of whole milks costs $4.05
In paris kentucky, at walmart, the same gallon costs $4.14
30 minutes down the road in lexington kentucky you can find a gallon of milk at aldis for $1.49. $1.99 at kroger
How in the world are the prices doubled just 30 minutes down the road?
Unfortunately we live in carlisle. Paid 3.75 for a gallon at the dollar store.
thanks

We're $1.99 in my neck of Idaho. We were almost $4/gal in Mulberry Arkansas. I remember being so relieved at the milk prices when I moved here. We're big into dairy around here. There are three small family run dairies in under two miles around me. There are three cheese plants, and one dry milk powder plant within 20 mins from me.

There is a little country store between us and Fulton MO. I bought a gallon of milk there yesterday for $4.30 or saved about a dollar to drive all the way into Fulton, approximately 16 miles from that little store. Didn't figure I could make the drive for $1.00 so coughed up the money.
Boy, will I be glad when our goats freshen again.

$1.99 for Kroger 2% in central Indiana.
Walmart in our area has gotten greedy though. They are trying to charge $3.39, and more, when they can get away with it.
We always try to buy at least one week's worth of milk when it does go on sale to help carry us through to the next grocery sale on milk.

And I thought our $6 a gallon milk was expensive! At least it's not $7.

I can hardly wait for my goat to kid, 4 months and counting. The last gallon I bought was 4.30. DH bought a gallon today and I did not even ask. Afraid to.

Pa has a price minimum of around $3.50.. can not sell for less.. In NY 5miles away it's around $2.40 a gallon. Even when Aldi's has a milk sale Pa prices will stay at the state minimum to "help" the farmers.

Not sure why it all got started... Aldi's advertised it for 99 cents about a month ago, Walmart, and the chain stores HAD to follow suit. Walmart and Kroger still have the special going.... sometime the chain store will run it "with additional purchase".
It's butter that is sky high here! Oucheewawa!!!

Ours is always over $4, at Walmart, local chain groceries, QuikTrip, doesn't matter. Someone a couple of weeks ago was saying Aldi's had milk for $1.99 where they were. I tried ours, but even Aldi's was $4.35. Sure glad I don't use much milk, lol. If I do catch a good price, I buy half a dozen gallons and put them in the freezer, but we don't very good sales often around here. If it was $6-7 a gallon I'd just give up milk altogether!

Milk is one of our major food items in our grocery budget. DH isn't a big eater but he does like milk so we go through about 5 gallons a week. It's been staying around $4.00 a gallon here.
I wish I felt more comfortable about getting a cow or goats but I'm the only person here that can milk, DH has arthritis in his hands and can't close his hands the way he'd have to to milk. I'm just not willing to go that route without having an "emergency milker" available so have reluctantly decided it simply isn't an option.
