If you live in a place where goods are double as expensive as the rest of the country you have to disclose that in your post lol. Inflation sucks, but even before inflation your milk prices must have been insane

That is more than double...milk at my local grocery is $6.49 a gallon. But yeah agree...they must live somewhere very very remote.

Is that for a gallon of Horizon? It’s expensive as shit lol but that’s a good deal if so

No that is just plain ole 2% milk. If you want to go for some luxury brand thats on you then. Ill see if my local even carries that brand...hold on.
Ugh yeah okay...Horizon organic grass fed new age crystal power is $6.99 for a half gallon....fair enough.
In the US at least all "grass fed" means is cattle have access to a pasture....in mose cases, they are still fed grain in a feed lot. Guess that means I am grass fed too because I have access to my lawn.

Do you live at the North Pole?

Well, he responded to someone here that he is from Alaska

Where in Alaska though. Parts of Alaska you may as well be at the North Pole. If the only way to stock milk in a grocery store is to fly it in on a prop plane then this starts to make sense.
And I see someone saying Alaska, but it wasn't OP...so are you sure?

Organic milk is 2-3x the cost of regular milk anywhere. I know because my wife insists on buying it.
Where I live (MCOL) that would be $9, and a gallon of regular milk is $3.50 or so. A couple of years ago, the organic milk was $6 and regular $2.

We buy this brand and it’s $9.99 per gallon in our area and I thought that was high!

They must think they can just slap an Organic label on it and people will pay outlandish prices.

A gallon of whole milk in Alaska where I am is $4. Eggs are $3. This person is very much so in a more remote area. Not normal pricing at all.

Was at the grocery store with my 11 year old grandson, waiting in line to check out when I remembered We needed milk. I told him to go get a gallon of whole milk, no 2% whole milk only. He brings one, cashier starts scanning and I see where the milk is $14.99. I gave him a look like wtf, but I'm in a hurry, so just ran with it. Turns out it was organic, somewhat higher than regular whole milk, but this store is 20 miles from bigger cities where organic is much cheaper.
Organic is the only kind I drink now, regular whole milk tastes watered down compared to organic.
