June 5, 200719 yr http://money.cnn.com/2007/06/04/markets/bc.milk.record.price.reut/index.htm?section=money_latest I hear a gallon of milk is over 4 dollars a gallon. Anyone?:cry:
June 5, 200719 yr I haven't seen that. But it has been at around $3.19-$3.29 a gallon for some time, so I guess we've been paying on the high end according to that story.
June 5, 200719 yr We've been paying close to $3.00 a gallon lately. I don't like any of these high prices (gas and milk, for example)!
June 5, 200719 yr Hey, I have an idea to lower the price of milk!!! On June 18th, everyone across America boycott from buying milk. A similar initiative took place in the 1950s forcing milk producers to lower their costs (and started the beginning of the end of the milk man). If we all join in on this effort, we can have one calcium fulfilled life at a reasonable cost! The milk executives of the world have been taking it to the consumer too long!!!!
June 5, 200719 yr Hey Jim Schue, Last night I went outside to my huge V8 SUV and cranked the car one hour before I got in to it to cool it down. I then took my huge SUV three quarters of a mile (driving it as hard as could of course to be sure to burn a full gallon) and went to Wal-Mart and bought me one gallon of milk, that is it. Got back in my huge SUV (that I left turned on to keep cool) and floored it over to the gas station and filled up with 93 octane (all while leaving my vehicle going). Cost me about $100. Then wasted about a gallon getting home. Then when I got home, I tried doing the milk challenge (you know, the one where you drink a gallon of milk in less than 15 miinutes to see what effect it would have on me). I will be going tonight to buy some more milk and complete another challenge if anyone wants to come along... am I doing my part looking out for the rest of America ???? :p

June 5, 200719 yr I'm not crazy about the upward spiral of gas and milk prices. But when one considers that Starbucks costs something in the neighborhood of $50 or $60 per gallon (at $4.00+ per cup); maybe milk and gas are bargains after all. I'll NEVER pay as much for a cup of coffee as I do for a gallon of gas (or milk, for that metter).
June 5, 200719 yr Why has milk gone up in price anyway? Well you already know that fuel prices are up, but feed prices are up substantially too.
June 5, 200719 yr Why has milk gone up in price anyway? I would assume that the cost of fuel to get the product to market has something to do with it.

For the 5,234,612th time: A cup of coffee from Starbucks will run you no more than $1.96 (including tax), max, in the Louisville market. If you want a latte, cappucino, frappucino, mocha or other hand-crafted beverage, you'll pay more. I'm sorry to single you out, but the mentality that Starbucks charges $4.00 for a cup of coffee is flat out wrong.

Starbucks coffee is only $31.36 per gallon (8 ounce cups) or $20.91 per gallon (12 ounce cups) - I really don't know the serving size.

Same with soda.:sssh:
