 I just paid $3.39 for a gallon of 2%, non-name-brand. At SAM'S. Last week, it was $3.02 at Sam's Club. I shudder to think what it is at the regular stores.

I just threw away my receipt but it was $3.49 I think. I accidentally picked up the name brand milk instead of the store brand but I was in too big of a hurry to take it back to the back of the store when I realize it.

It's still $3.69 a half-gallon for rice milk. Sorry, not much sympathy coming from these quarters!  |

Sale here last week. 2 gallons for $5.50. It's gonna kill me to pay the regular price this week.

$2.19 a quart last week. We don't usually buy gallons since we just use milk for our coffees, an occasional bowl of cereal, cooking... gallons go bad before we use them up. And he uses whole milk, I use skim, so that doesn't help use it any faster.

$3.19/gal for Roberts (local? name brand) today at Fairway, which is about all the boys will drink. I guess that's pretty cheap consdering what y'all are paying!

Uh-oh, I thought we were paying our usual $1.99 a gallon at Kroger whenever I go accross. Has something terrible happened to milk prices? |

Who knew? Tonight on the news, they predicted that the price of cereal would be going way up- along with the price of milk.  |

FABULOUS, considering the kids often go through a box a day. What am I supposed to FEED these children??? |

(got my 2 gallons, too!)
Giant has milk for 2.99 a gallon (all types) through today.
And I can usually get it for under $3 at BJs.
Actually, I tend to pay less for milk around here at convenience stores, like Luckies.

Watch the drug stores, too. They often tend to have milk at really good prices about every other week or so.

Yep. Safeway. I paid $3.21 yesterday at Lauers. Wasn't worth the gas to go somewhere else when I was already there. I buy it at BJ's if I'm there, but the kids drink more milk than that. I haven't been in Luckies since they re-opened.

One thing I do when I remember, is when the gallon gets about half-way down, add about a quart of mixed powdered milk. Sean will NOT drink powdered milk at all, and while Erin used to like it okay, she's not real fond of it anymore. But if I sneak it in, they never notice. 
It doesn't stretch it much, but every bit helps.

You can also stock up and put it in the freezer. Just take a little out first to leave room for expansion. I'm going to have to start doing that again. Of course, I have a big stand alone freezer and plenty of room which helps.

I never bother with pouring off any. I think I've had one leak a little when I froze it, out of all the ones I've frozen over the years.

I used to extend my milk with Moo Milk but decided it had too much trans fat in it.

I think I paid $3.49 for a gallon this week. Last week at Safeway it was 2 for $5.00 but you had to buy two at one time.
Sometimes the kids go thru three gallons a week, other times they might not even finish a gallon. I never know, so I hate to buy more than one gallon at a time. I'd rather have to stop for more than toss some out.

At 2 for $5, you're ahead if the kids drink 1.5 gallons before it goes bad. OTOH, if you have a big freezer, there's your solution.

I wish I had freezer space. Right now it's stuffed with other deals  no room for milk.
I bought the kids the "Sippah" straws-they make chocolate milk with a straw. Maybe they'll drink more milk this week
