Look at the price of Milk!

In South Florida, the Milk price probably has gone up 75% since only 2 to 3 months ago.

In April you can still buy a gallen of milk at Walgreen or CVS for $2.49 to $2.89 when they ran sales. Regular prices in grocery stores are like $3.19 to $3.49.

Now the sale price of HALF Gallen is $2.49 at Walgreen.

At Publix, the regular price of one gallen is $5.79 store brand, and $6.29 namebrand.

What have happened over a few months course?! Even local newspaper has noticed but all they attributed to the price increase was the higher fuel costs - like we are paying extra 0.37 per gallen for transportation alone, comparing to the cost at the Tri-States area (NY NJ & PA)

Our gas is at $2.75 to $2.85 per gallen, 10% higher than upnorth.
