Me! This thread inspired me to go get a glass.

$3/gallon at Giant? It’s a great source of protein.

This is a good example of my media bubble. I have heard nothing about higher milk prices and I have noticed nothing.

I do see my conservative family posting about gas prices which is kind of bananas to me since gas costs what it cost 15 years ago.

Because it’s not true. At least not to the extent implied by this crappy reporting.

Probably average out to about a gallon a day between all of them.

Gallon of milk, loaf of bread, and gallon of gas have been go-tos when it comes to household finances, economy, inflation, costs... "bread and butter" issues... I mean come, are you all really this dense?
