Milk, Bread, and gas ,What do they have in common?

Published:

High prices! Milk is roughly 3.49 per gallon and rye bread 3.29 a loaf, at the present time in NY, gasoline is 2.49 per gallon. channel 7 news had a story on the high price of milk in our supermarkets, if you look at the prices of food today its ridiculous, organic blueberry's a 4oz plastic box 3.99, nobody ever questions these food items.You would think that gasoline is more expensive to produce than growing grain and milking cows, ( considering that cows are not becoming extinct) or hard to come by, Just think about that. Im no scholar, it doesn't take a rocket scientist, to see that we the people are getting ripped off left and right no matter where we turn, Werther its milk for our children or the cloths on our back, or the fuel thats keeps us warm, and light that keeps burning bright. Lets face it people its a vicious cycle and a conspiracy, things are getting out of hand, we might have to choose between a tank of home heating fuel and food for our family for a month. We the people cant ever let this happen to our children's future and our grandchildren future. we need to conserve for the future. Why are we paying so much for the right to nourish ourselves? We complain when the price of fuel is skyrocketing! And we never complain that that 6 ounce of rib eye steak is 7.99 or  or any choice of food for that, is truly sad. Thanks for reading Thousandair

Wow. Wonder why gas is $2.09 in Detroit and $2.69 here. I saw a station about 50 miles from me where gas was selling for $2.49 yesterday, but that's the lowest.
Regarding milk, I just bought a quart for $1.45. The same bottle was $1.39 a couple of weeks ago and was sometimes on sales for 99 cts until recently. Bread was on sale for $2.50, regularly $3.19. I only eat one kind, so that really isn't something I shop for, because whenever I try another brand to save money, I end up giving it away to a neighbor. You didn't mention the cost of health care. Today I'm trying to decide between repairs for my car or a root canal. :(    At least I don't have to feed or clothe a family. I don't know how people with kids get by these days.

My dental insurance only pays 2500.00 for the year max, health care is the most expensive and quite a bit of people don't have any . look at family's with three or more kids that are payed for by the parents and not their employers. I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones who have full insurance coverage. all the way down to medications.
