I use it for coffee and cooking and smoothies but not for straight (as
opposed to ***? hehe) drinking. I use about three quarts of 1% milk
per week...

I have to wonder where they get the "$4 a gallon in the Chicago area"
pricing, I never pay more than $2.50 or so at Walgreen's, they feature
milk as a loss leader (a coupla weeks ago for $1.99 per gallon). Just
picked up 2 half - gallons for $1.29 each at the local stupormarket
(Treasure Island) down the street...

Maybe they are pricing milk at convenience stores or something...

Yogurt's been on sale a lot lately and ice cream seems fairly
reasonable yet...

As for other food prices, chicken and beef have been fairly expensive
for a whiles, pork less so...and I just picked up eggs for $.99 per
dozen at Walgreen's too.
