I refuse to pay that much!
All the teachers used to get two milks for lunch and Tom would bring one home but they have decided to only let them have one milk. So today i finally gave Chalyse some powdered milk to drink. I have been hesitant because i have a hard time making her eat or drink something that i would not. Of course i don't really like milk like Chalyse does and i can't drink it anyway because it bothers Ellora. Anyway, she complained about it a little but she drank it. The thing that finally pushed me to give Chalyse powdered milk though, is that the store was continuously out of fresh milk. If we were lucky they would have boxed milk that is ultra pasteurized and air tight so it can sit on the shelf. This boxed milk is...are you ready for this...$17 a gallon. Tom and i have a theory that the prices on milk are so ridiculously high is because the store has a monopoly on it here in the village and it is something that is in high demand. (Even fresh fruit and vegetables are not that ridiculous.)

That is insane. I cant believe that they would charge that much. It is almost to the point where you would have to trade a child for that. Are you guys going to bring a box of powdered back with you when you head back at christmas?
ReplyDeleteProbably. We had some sent up to us about a month and a half ago. Another piece to this puzzle is that a good proportion of those who drink a lot of milk up here are on WIC, so they aren't paying for it, anyway. I kind of think that the store jacks up the price because of this, so that they can get more of that government money.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thats so crazy! I would have never guess it would be so pricey! Cute snowflake background by the way!
