Milk was $0.06. Six cents! I can't make out the units in the photo, I'll assume maybe a pint or half gallon. That is super cheap even adjusting for inflation. It would still only be $1.34 in 2024 dollars.
I mean, I pay about 1.50 for a half-gallon, so that seems right to me
Ha wow, maybe it's just my area here in MA - it's rare to see half gallons at less than $3 nowadays.
That's convenience store milk prices to my eyes! Highway robbery
Damn, here in Denmark we pay almost $2/qt 😅
