I would be sooo happy to pay $2.88 a gallon for milk. Here in Maine it is $4.58. I really don't know how families with young children can afford this. It is so expensive to eat healthy....

Or visit often and bring your own straw...errr, ummmm, snifter. Then give him a few coins donation to help him out.
We have learned to shop at a place called Winco. Other than getting used to "bagging your own" and can't use credit cards, we sometimes go back to the higher priced retailers and can't believe what we used to pay.
Even Winco gives us sticker shock sometimes. For example, recently the non-fat milk I buy went from 2.48 to 2.88 per gallon, then back down to 2.45 in about two months time. I think I'll have to start drinking Brandy. At least, when the price goes up, I'll be "mellow" enough not to care.
