Last year's prices

Submitted by Amy K. on November 6, 2007 - 11:02.

Last year in October a gallon of skim at my local store was $2.29. A 10 quart box of instant milk was $5.99, which works out to $2.40/gallon. I think my local stores carry it more as a novelty (I only buy it because my bread machine recipes call for it), so the price is higher.

Right now a gallon of skim is up close to $3 (over or under depending on the store I go to). I don't know the current price of instant, but I'd bet it's still comparable to fresh.

I'm in a suburb of Boston, I'm not sure how that impacts prices.
