Manufactured Cow's Milk - Prices?

[wharris]

I am paying between 1.99/gal-4.00/gal for whole/past/homo milk.  What do the rest of you pay?


Anyone buy millk in "bulk" from farmer's markets or anything?  I would buy 10 - 20 gal a week if i could get a deal.

Was just talking with my wife about this tonight.  Working our costs, etc..

I think she told me we pay 2.60 something for whole.

[linuxboy]

3.19 per 2 gallons for whole and 3.09 per two gallons for 2%. This is from Cash and Carry.

My 1.99/gal is from Sam's Club.  My 4.00/gal is from Hartzler family dairy

[Worlock]

Oh man I wish I could get my hands on some of that Hartzler milk.... I am envious sir.  I'd pay the 4 buckeroos every time to support a local like that.

Store bought past homogenized skim or 1% or 2% or whole cow's milk here in Houston Texas was USD3.49 per 1 US gallon last summer, now it's down to USD2.49, and yesterday I paid USD1.99! Poor farmers, hate to think what they are getting for it.

Deflation is everywhere, housing is cheaper, stocks are cheaper, oil/gasoline/petrol is cheaper, loans (interest) is cheaper, even milk and groceries are cheaper.

about 2.19 for skim up to 2.49 for whole (1 gallon) at Costco in Austin the last few months, I think. Regular supermarket price was $4.40 until a couple months ago, then dropped to $4, and then to $3.

It's sort of neat to observe the stickiness of prices at different retailers. The lighter side of economic instability.

$1.97 per gallon at Meijers last night. Decided I better buy some for a batch of Cheddar, think I'll attempt a Wine Cheddar.

The low temp stuff I can use to make cheese with is around KRW4,700 for 1.8 liters.  Which is around US$6-7/gallon.  The raw milk I bought for my last batch was KRW1,000 per liter.   Which is around US$3/gallon.

$2.19/gallon of locally produced pasteurized, homogenized milk.
$6/gallon for raw whole cow milk from the farm.
$8/gallon for raw goat milk.

You sir, have my envy.

[thebelgianpanda]

Yeah, after talking with a professional cheese maker, raw cow around here averages $10/gal.  I am not passing this tidbit of info to my dealer though
Raw is soooo much more fun to work with, and the end result is much, much better.

I've heard that if you buy at least four cases, 16 gallons, or something like that Whole Food will give you a 20 or 30 percent discount, don't remember the specifics. I get my past/homo milk from Lucky's for $2.50 a gallon.

[DeejayDebi]

I am paying $3.79 /gallon for whole milk here from WalMart.

The store here charges $3.25; but I get mine raw from the local dairy for $3/gal.
