1/2 gallon, zero fat milk

[onethatcares]

at publix today is $3.05.

while 1 dozen large white eggs are $1.65

store brand wheat bread, $1.95 loaf.

West Central Florida

What are you guys paying for these three items?

[hlthe2b]

1. Safeway & King Soopers (Kroger-owned) alternate with best milk "specials" every other week

Both have alternately had specials where a gallon of locally produced off-brand milk goes for $2.19 per gallon (all varieties).

Regular price for a gallon of same milk is around $2.69/gallon. About the same price at Sam's Club.

You are paying waaay too much, it appears to me. We don't have Publix out here, but my sister shops there in Atlanta and thinks they are expensive on many things.

Eggs are frequently on sale here for around $1.19 per dozen.

I don't buy bread.

Obviously "branded" milk varieties are much more expensive and organic is exorbitant. I had to discontinue my beloved milk delivery of local milk in glass bottles because transportation costs have resulted in their increasing the price beyond what I can justify. I understand their issues, but I just can't bring myself to pay that much anymore.

2. Making my shopping list here in So. Calif.

$1.69 = 1/2 gal 2% milk

$1.10 = 1 dozen large white eggs

$1.48 = store brand 20oz wheat bread


Prices from Wal-Mart super center grocery

3. 2% Reduced Fat Gallon

was $2.99 at the local supermarket (Schnucks) yesterday in St. Louis, Sara Lee Classic Honey Wheat Bread was $1.49 for a loaf on sale this week. Don't know the egg prices, but we don't use that many and generally pick them up at Aldi.

4. Milk is $2.99/gal., any percent, and a half gallon is $1.79.

A dozen Grade A white eggs us $1.89 (but I buy cage-free brown eggs for $2.99/doz.).

The cheapest loaf of whole wheat bread is $2.79 (but I pay $3.49 for Orowheat).

This is at a Target grocery in a Northern CA city.

Does that help?

I agree that your milk seems really expensive.

5. I use almond milk at...

Almond milk $3
Don't eat eggs (ground flax is a good egg alternative in cooking)
I buy the good wheat breat at about $4 per loaf.

[zackymilly]

13. That's not milk! That's nut juice!

Just wanted to beat someone else out.

[Joe941]

17. so i've been told...

6. Iowa, East Central

Gallon of 2% milk: 3.75

Eggs (dozen large): 1.80 this week. (I can sometimes get them under a dollar on sale

Store brand bread: 1.50 or so, nicer bread 4 bucks a loaf.

7. In NW Arkansas things are different.

Milk is $1.05 a gallon (whole and 2%)

Eggs are $.62 a dozen

Bread is $2.69

[Siwsan]

8. Recently paid .79 for a dozen eggs at Aldi (Flint, MI)

Not a big buyer of bread and milk but as I recall the last time I bought them, I got a loaf of 'Italian' style sliced bread for less than $1.50 and a quart of 2% milk for around $1.19. Again, at Aldi.

10. Publix contributes heavily to trump. Fuck them.

[Hortensis]

11. North GA: Milk $1.89 Walmart, Publix - hiding price on line

even when I put a gallon of their store brand in a shopping cart.

[flotsam]

12. New Hampshire

All milk $2.49 per Gal.
Doz lg eggs $0.69
Don't buy wheat bread

[Aristus]

14. Be wary of zero-fat, or skim milk.

Some dairies add sugar to their milk to make it taste better.

That's the problem with the fat-free mentality; we forget that fat tastes good. If you take it out of a food, you have to replace it with something that also tastes good, and that go-to additive is sugar.

That's one of the reasons why the rise of fat-free foods coincided with the obesity epidemic. People gorged themselves on fat-free foods thinking it was healthy.

15. I don't buy any of these things, so I don't know.

I hate milk, don't really eat eggs unless I go out for brunch and get an omelette and don't buy loaves of bread. Will sometimes get some rolls for sandwiches or a specialty bakery baguette or Italian bread and cut it at home to make toast or eat w/ cheese, etc.

[wishstar]

16. Aldi has milk for $1.49 per gallon, eggs for $.77 and Ingles eggs are $.58 per dozen

Ingles has various half-gallons of milk such as lactose free for about $2.49 to $3.00 and store brand breads range for $.89 to $1.49 at these stores and Walmart has $.99 bread. I am in NC.

18. I don't buy milk. Soy milk is about $2.50-$3.00 a half gallon.

When I buy eggs, I buy the organic sort, supposedly from chickens treated "humanely." Those are $4-$5 a dozen.

California has increasingly strict standards for egg producers. By 2022 only cage free eggs will be allowed.

I haven't been paying attention to generic egg prices, but maybe it's around $3.00 a dozen. Someone may tell me if I'm wrong.

I'll spend anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 for what I consider ordinary sorts of bread.

My wife is vegetarian approaching vegan. I don't eat much meat at all.

Rice and beans are inexpensive. Good olive oil, fresh fruits, and vegetables cost a little more, but not nearly so much as eating meat every day.

19. I always thought Manhattan was expensive?

1/2 gallon milk - $2.29

Dozen eggs - $0.99

Wheat bread (Arnold's, not store brand) $2.25

[krispos42]

20. I usually buy mine at BJ's, a wholesale club store like Cosco

I think a gallon of skim is... $2.29? I buy 1% mike, and I think that was $2.19.

The eggs I also get at BJ's, I get 18 of Nellie's cruelty-free eggs for maybe $4.49.

Shop-Rite white bread is usually $1.19 or thereabouts.
