Holly shit! Where can I go get those prices???? I just paid $3.99 for a 18 eggs. I've been getting ripped off. I just bought chicken for $3.99/ lb, which is funny because it was organic. The regular chicken which was double the size breast was $5.49/ lb. (Just because it was bigger people will think it is a deal. Good job Vons. Almost fooled me too but I always figure out unit pricing).

I am southern CA in case you want to price check anything.

Are those numbers supposed to be the national average? How come it isn't all from the same years? Did the prices go even hire from 2010 to 2012? Also we are in 2014 now the pricing is higher still.

Our Minimum wage is Currently $8/ hour.

Does anyone have a comparison chart of the National Average Minimum Wage vs. National Average Price of Milk, over say 60 years? Really you can compare any grocery item that would have a national average price. I am curious to see what it would look like.

you can only find those prices by shopping in the dumpster behind the Piggly Wiggly in Crawford Mississippi.

How did I know that's exactly what you'd say?

So you're telling me prices vary that much over such a small geographical distance? Funny, it doesn't vary that much where I live. I'm sure if you shopped around your area you could find cheaper milk.

The best part is you come back all butt hurt when my link actually supports your position.

yeah, let me just spend $14 on gas to save $1.19 on milk.

great idea.

i suppose if you buy lots and lots and lots of food it might just pay off. so in your case it might be a good idea.

WTF are you talking about? So the prices you listed are the CHEAPEST you can find in your area? You mean to tell me that milk is 40% less only an hour away. Why is your area so much more expensive?

Once again, if you look around YOUR AREA I'm sure you could find cheaper prices. Which would make your claims even that much more valid.

I can get a gallon of milk for 3 dollars. If I drive 50 miles away I can get a gallon of milk for 3 dollars.

Are you drunk?

If we perform brain surgery or sort recyclable trash, what's the difference some ask?
Shouldnt we all just paid the same rate?

I have rights as an American citizen,
though I don't speak the language and can't find a job.
I do enjoy my PS3 and cable TV to pass time.
I want the same pay as a doctor! WTF!!
President Obama says we all need a chance to succeed.
I just haven't found mine yet.

hahahaa

brain surgeons get $10.10 per hour?

i think you've been seeing the wrong "brain surgeon".

a penny pincher lobotomy would explain a lot about you.
