I previously easily justified my Costco membership on milk alone (2% was about $1.50 cheaper than grocery stores for 2 gallons). Then all of the sudden last week I noticed 2% jumped to $6.19 for 2 gallons! Which was barely cheaper than 7 Eleven. So I decided to get whole milk, which was only $6.29. (whole milk used to be $1 more for 2 gals). I had pretty much the same situation as you.

Although I'd like you to clarify how soy milk is better for you (or I could just ask my dietitian wife for clarity), I always shied away from soy milk because of the price. I like the different flavor, but at $6.83 for 1.5 gallons (3 half gallons) at Sam's Club, versus $6 for 2 gallons of skim milk, I'll still take the skim milk. But you're right, the prices are inching closer and closer, and I may decide to switch to soy milk soon. But will the usage of more land for corn impact the price of soy?

I wondered what was going to happen to these membership discount warehouses when manufacturers were granted the power to enforce minimum sale prices. Guess we're finding out.

I used canned milk and I have not even noticed the change. I guess I better read the price tag. I guess you might have to buy a cow soon. I used canned milk and I have not even noticed the change.

But then it jumped to 2.29 in no time! Now it's at 3.29! Something is going on here! Makes me wish I lived back in Wisconsin when I used help a dairy farmer out with his chores! Free milk!!!
