What is the most that you would pay for a gallon/4 liters of milk?

I wouldn’t pay over $5 a gallon of milk. We can buy it illegally from local dairies much cheaper. :)

Currently I only buy a half gallon of cow milk each week for $2.39, for cooking or my husband’s cereal.
Same with eggs, only farm fresh and around $3 dozen now.

@RedDeerGuy1 $10 a gallon is crazy!! But I’m in cattle country, perhaps that’s normal in your area?

@KNOWITALL it’s not $10 yet, but is my breaking point.

I guess I would pay whatever they were asking. I need my 2% milk for coffee, I hate that creamer stuff. yuck!

@RedDeerGuy1 Have you ever had raw milk? It’s soo good!! Some people can’t tolerate it fresh but once you get used to it, it’s like melted vanilla ice cream. Yum!

@KNOWITALL No. pasteurized milk is all that I have had.

$2.99

I am currently paying about $5.50, and I don’t know how high I might go.
Milk is one of those have-to items.

WHAT?!? I don’t drink milk and haven’t bought any since 2010 when I bought it for my mom at 99 cents. I can’t believe it has gone up that much.
In the matter of gasoline, I guess I have to pay the going rate no matter the price. I have to get to work and there are no busses in my area.

I am currently at 1.39 per litre, 3.8% fat, lactose free.

When I was in China, I was having trouble finding food I could eat.
At one meal, we were served something gross (I don’t remember if this was Bamboo Rat or Water Fungus). I got the idea of simply having a bowl of rice with sugar and milk, which is something I grew up on. We had rice and sugar on the table, so I asked for a glass of milk.
There was some confusion from the waiters, and on waitress said “Why you want milk? You not baby!”

I mean, this goes to the old economics debate – which is more valuable, a bottle of water or a similar volume of diamonds. Well, if you’re dying of thirst in the dessert, that bottle of diamonds is worthless, but a bottle of water is the most precious thing in the world.

I pay $3.49 for a half gallon from a local farm. The milk is so good here in Wisconsin. I’m willing to pay big bucks for it.

I try to get milk at Costco, sold by the gallon only, about 3.29 a gallon, I think. I really don’t look at the price there because I know it’s a great price for what it is. Otherwise, I will get a smaller one at Trader Joe’s, which also has pretty good prices. I may not need a gallon at a time, but Costco has the best price so I have no choice but to get that. I try not to buy milk anywhere else unless I’m desperate, because I hate paying high prices for it. If I’m on vacation and I need milk for the hotel room, I will buy a quart and have to pay whatever I have to pay.

I really only drink milk in my coffeee or tea. I need it in my coffee and on vacation, when they give you a coffee maker in the hotel, I need milk for that. We don’t eat cereal too often. Once in a while I use it for a recipe or my daughter likes hot chocolate.

Gas is a necessity so I have to pay whatever is the going rate for gas. I try to get it cheap, and I am a Costco member so I try to drive there and fill up when possible. When I’m on vacation or if my tank runs low, I may have no choice but pay a high price for it. I don’t prefer that, but it’s not something that I may have a choice about.

I pay £3.30 for a gallon of milk here in the UK. Milk prices have gone up by 17% over the past year but I still feel it is reasonably cheap. I would probably pay whatever it cost as I use it in my breakfast cereal.

Present day I wouldn’t pay more than $12.00 US for a gallon, and that would have to be because I really had no other option, or I was on vacation and willing to pay too much. I’m fine not buying milk for a few weeks and see if the price comes back down. Like when eggs were $8 a dozen I didn’t buy any whole eggs, I did keep buying my eggwhites. but that had only gone up $1.The price has come down a lot, and not they are about $4.00—$5.00,
