What's going on in the dairy industry? - freeradical - 04-16-2010
I bought a gallon of milk today for $2.25. The price seems to go down every time I buy it. A year ago it cost twice as much. Other foods have not declined in price.

How about CAN$6.87 for 4 liters (1 gallon + 1/2 pint) of milk?
That's UP CAN$0.02 from two weeks ago.
Gasoline is now CAN$1.045 per liter (CAN$3.956/gallon).
That's UP CAN$0.006/L from last week.
and CAN$1.00 nearly at parity with US$1.00. Oh, joy!

I wonder what's changed since then, because freeradical noted the lower price happening now.
We usually get 1/2g of organic. It's been around $3.60 for awhile, maybe $3.90.

Many grocery stores price milk as a loss-leader. So its price may have nothing to do with market prices. The practice is banned in some states.

It was down to $1.79 in my area for a while this winter. Today I paid $1.99.
