It's summer in New England (sort of), so my kids and I have been spending more time outside and less time online. It will probably be that way for another month or so. I've probably lost all of my readers, including my mom, but hey- summer is too short up here. We've got to live it up while we can.Anyhow-
Today, a friend pointed out the insane regional price differences of some pretty basic groceries.
So I'm curious...
How much is a gallon of milk where you live? Like for NORMAL people (not crazy bargain hunters like us)?
I know there are even differences based on what kind of milk and where you shop. Around here (just outside of Boston), I've seen milk as cheap as $2.10ish at BJs, but it seems to be in the $3.50ish range at most grocery stores (regular price).
So indulge me- where are you, and what did your last (regular priced) gallon of milk cost?

Milk in Nashua, NH is $1.99 a gallon at BJ's. Of course I have a fridge full from the Shaw's General Mills Cat deal a couple of weeks ago.
Milk in Las Vegas is $1.68 at Smith's...a lot cheaper than what it has been the past couple of months!
Usually 1.88 to 2.00. In TX! But I LOVE that $1 off coupon I got for "Bordens" milk in our Sunday paper a few weeks back. Coupons for milk is soooo rare!
$1.60ish is what I have been spending lately in Utah.
Depends on where you go. Today I was at Piggly Wiggly and their brand milk was 2.69 a gallon. (Golden Gurney was 2.79) The half gallons were on sale though for a buck a piece so I bought 4 half gallons.
Costco is usually 1.99-2.15 a gallon though and I almost always buy milk there. I was in a rush today and ran out so I had to stop at the closest place.
I'm in South Eastern Wisconsin.
At a reg. grocery store in Maine the average is like 3.80
Costco was $1.89 (or $1.99... now I'm not sure) for a gallon of skim the other day. Woo woo! As you know, I'm right outside Boston :-)
$2.09 at Wegmans, $3.49 at Giant in Northern Virginia.
Reminds me that Wegmans is worth driving the extra 2 miles for!
7 bucks a gallon but we sport the rice milk, 3 bucks sound like a steal to me!
I can usually find a gallon of milk for $1.49 to $1.79 in Northwest Indiana. Thanks to co-worker's advice, I now freeze a couple gallons at a time.
2.99 to 3.29 at the grocery store. on sale for 3.09 at cvs this week. Northern Virginia, just outside DC.
The two cheapest prices are $1.50 and $1.67 each (Salt Lake City, UT).
Plus in UT and ID we have a 75 cent coupon for any gallon of milk available right now, so that is for CHEAP milk!
In southern Utah at regular grocery store it can be as low as $1.69. But at Costco you can get it for around 1.60 to 1.80. You have to buy a two pack. But it taste great and it is hormone free!
We do 1% - it was $2.12 at BJ's just yesterday. Shaw's brand 1% is $3.69 a gallon. I think Garelick Farms (which is what BJ's sells) at Shaw's is down to $3.99 for a gallon. Kind of crazy that it's half the price at BJ's than Shaw's. I live about 3 miles from you. Tedeschi's seem to be sporting $2.59 for a gallon of 1% Garelick Farms.
I'm in Northern VA and it was $3.49 a gallon last night - sale if you bought 2 gallons made it $3. Organic is usually $5.49 or so.
In Michigan at Meijer milk is $1.98.
$2.30 for 1% at Cumberland Farms, but my peanut is still on whole milk (per dr.) and that is $2.99 at Target or $3.50 at Cumberland Farms or Stop & Shop in CT. We go through a gallon in about 2 days. It is expensive!!
$1.88 at WinCo in ID, but over $2.50 at Target.
Milk here is usually about $3.50 a gallon for regular milk. Of course, the organic milk I prefer, is $4.50 for a half gallon. Makes me want to invest in a cow!
It cost about $3.98 per gallon in NewportBeach, Cali. I have seen it as high as $5.00 per gallon. It is expenssive considering Owen drinks about 4 galons a week.
Publix in West Palm Beach, FL has their brand at an everyday price of $2.39.
Under $2 in AZ....I looked this morning in my flyer for you and it escaped my head before I was able to tell you!
Milk in Ludlow (Western MA) is $2.39 a gallon at the Pride gas station near my house...but $3.99 at the Big Y!
Milk in Northern Michigan is $1.98/gallon
Central Indiana 1.99 - 2.59 depending on the store.
In north central MA, milk is 2.30ish at Market Basket, but around 3.50 at Stop & Shop.
