Milk and Eggs

Not sure what is going on, but milk is 60¢ a gallon and eggs are 26¢ for a dozen, locally.

Just a few years ago I recall paying $4.50 a gallon for milk. Just a few months ago eggs were $2.67 for a dozen.

Double that for my local prices, and that is for a dozen eggs.

So what I'm hearing is that this is, in fact, a local anomaly. Weird.

I remember $3.00+ a gallon for milk just last year. I commented on Sunday to my wife that milk (in NW Ohio) at WallyWorld is now $1.04 a gallon.....did the price of corn bottom out ?

It's anywhere from 2 to 8 here for a gallon depending on the brand and store.

How do you guys remember to the penny how much you pay for that stuff?

I want to say 18 eggs cost around $3 or so, but I am more or less guessing. Less than $5 and I'm not that into it.

I just bought those things yesterday so it was fresh on my mind.

I don't think of it either...but I do know that .26/doz is way lower than average. What else can you buy for .26 that is worth anything???
