Our Kroger (King Soopers) stores had it advertised for $1.68/gallon last
week. Half gallons were cheaper than quarts!

You could say the same for just about any single food. Chocolate
is not necessary in an adult diet. Fish is not necessary in an
adult diet. Lettuce is not necessary, either.

Some people eat for pleasure. Shoot, I drink milk for the protein if
the rest of the meal is a little light. BLT and a glass of milk.
It's
what's for dinner.

I love skim milk, and would never quit drinking it just because
someone says I don't "need" it.

While I agree with the above, my point was about beverages. :-) It's
very easy to drink a lot of calories and since I need to continue to
restrict mine, I prefer to chew my calories. <G>

But, YMMV of course!

I personally think the huge consumption of sugared sodas/soft drinks is
a major contributor to the obesity epidemic.

That's one of the brands here too. Never had a problem. But Louise
drinks way too much so a gallon never lasts 5 days. I drink maybe 8
oz. every couple days.

I paid $2.57 per gallon today to gas up the truck.

Lol! Actually, my point was that I felt it was no longer worth the price
they were asking for it. :-) He was bitching about the cost.

I feel that prime beef is not worth the cost except as maybe a birthday
treat either.

If someone is purchasing milk just for the "health benefits",
supplements are cheaper.

If you are buying it for the pleasure of drinking it, carry on and pay
the price!

$2.979 for regular gas tonight.

$2.49 of house label skim milk at the supermarket next door.

YMMV
