Local prices, I guess

The last time I checked, here in Champaign, the cost per gallon was almost identical for fresh milk and milk made from nonfat dry milk powder. I should check again.

Having said that, I'm with you on the advantages: Powdered milk is compact, it keeps well, and there are many cool things you can do with it. It's just not the bargain it had been for the past 30 years. Hopefully, it will be again, once the supply and demand issues get sorted out.
