Why the hell would you be buying chocolate milk? Is your gardener a
little kid?

I never buy milk by the quart. It's always cost more to buy it in small
amounts. Milk is selling just fine where I live. Whole, lowfat (2%,
1%) even non-fat (skim). It's not crazy expensive.

All the cheeses at stores around here are selling just fine and at a
stable price, too. Cheddar, swiss, gruyere, provalone, monterey jack,
pepperjack... sliced, in blocks, shredded and shredded blends.

Maybe because there isn't as much demand for cottage cheese.
