Oh, and for the record, it's not just the milk. The amount of money spent overall on groceries has more than tripled since then. I was just using milk as an example of one of the most noticeable increases.
In 2001 my property was 400sq feet now it's 5600sq feet, what a difference 8 years makes.

I like how this became the "half guard pays too much for milk" thread.

A donut at the grocery store now costs 70 cents. I am morally opposed to paying nearly a dollar for a donut. I used to pay a quarter. I also used to pay a quarter for a bagle, which has now jumped to $1.29. Bread is almost $2 a loaf for the store brand that used to be 99 cents. The price of a case of soda is steadily wearing away at the once unbridgeable gap between it and the price of a case of beer. Grocery shopping is depressing.
i am still sad that hornbacher's no longer offers chocolate chip cookies for a nickle on wednesdays. cookies and comics was the best part of wed. mornings.
apparently the price of wheat has got really out of hand.

That's kind of what I was getting at. It's not so much a complaint; just weird now because I never really thought about it before. Here's a comparison from going through some of my old bills while shredding old stuff in the file cabinet this weekend:
2001
gallon of gas = $1.47
monthly electric bill = $160.00
monthly rent = $300.00
monthly grocery bill = $300.00
2009
gallon of gas = $1.99
monthly electric bill = $190.00
monthly rent = $400.00
monthly grocery bill = $1,000.00
Of course, everything goes up with inflation over an 8 year period, but everything except food has gone up with a modest increase; whereas groceries have jumped through the roof.
Yer thinking of Skim. The whole was the same price.Yeah, but that's not real milk. It's just soupy white water.
You people are milk nerds.
I'm extremely biased in my milk preference. Anything that's not whole milk is just soupy white water imo.
