There seems to be a large difference in expenses from one place to another. Ive pretty much always lived here, so Im curious.

The cost of a gallon of milk. Here at most grocery stores its $3.55, although I just saw it a CVS pharamacy for $3.05. How much is a gallon of milk where you are?


What about a gallon of gas? Here it is $2.61 for unleaded.

Pacific Northwest (rural area)

Milk - 2.99/gal
Gas - 2.76/gal



Who knew BFE would be so expensive? (and for those wondering, the acronym is a not nice one used by rednecks to describe far, far out in the desert away from civilsation)

Im in Florida. A gallon of milk is my expense issue as with 3 boys I go through a lot. Our stores range from 3.33 to 3.99

I have found 7-11s are cheaper on milk. (but sometimes its sour.)

Ok I hate to say it I really can't remember how much milk cost.... I believe it's like 4 something for a gallon.

Now for a pack of cigarettes if you buy it legally here in nyc it could go for anything from $6.25 to about $ 7. But you could get it illegally for about $4 to $5 a pack.

Sis, I remember a long time ago when I was laying out a really big tradeshow floor and had to assign a booth WAY out there, I said I was putting that exhibitor in BFE. I actually had an employee come to me about 30 min later and say she'd looked all over the floorplan but couldn't find where BFE was. I laughed til I cried...

I just sort of presumed everyone knew that expression. ... but nope!

The true test? 1 pint Dove Ice Cream? $3.99

I think I saw it for $4.99 but Ill ahve to double check.

Anvil, a milk man, I thought those were from the days of before color television. The only thing delivered around here is pizza, and those expensive Omaha Steaks.

cind - that's part of why i LOVE having milk delivery!!! it feels so earthy and quaint...you can get produce delivered too, but that is outrageously expensive.

now , what the heck does "egypt" mean and how come i don't get to have a milk truck.

CatsPajamas 03-08-2007 01:53 PM

Teke,

Trust me. Way out in BF Egypt there ARE no milk trucks. It's a fair piece past the middle of freakin nowhere...

cinderellawkids 03-08-2007 01:56 PM
