hey, you have cheap electricity, what more do you want?

 

whole milk is cheaper because rfk says it's better for you

 

How much do you want it to cost? There is a very wide range of choices.

Spouse doesn't remember what she paid most recently, other than "under $3", on sale.

One chain's local flyer today shows $3.19 to $7.99, depending on just what you choose. And $1.39 for a certain half-gallon choice with coupon, $2.49 without coupon.

Another chain isn't showing milk in this week's local flyer.

Customers who don't comparison shop, should expect to pay a lot more than those who do.

 

Just thank the DON.

 

In US brick and mortar stores, milk is commonly a loss leader. Not so much in Canada. My buddy in the Vancouver area describes his fellow Canadians as "locusts" descending on the dairy aisle of Bellingham area stores.

 

grocery prices are still increasing, even trunk has admitted that. not to worry, he has a plan

 

While there is plenty to blame on Sleepy Don, I'm not yet seeing any reason to blame him for milk and beef prices. Coming from a beef-producing family, I see those and many agricultural price cycles being connected mostly to other factors not usually under control of his office.

For beef, the U.S. cattle herd is low now (google-AI claims it is the lowest in 70 years), after droughts and high feed costs pushed producers to reduce their herds. My family's hay crop this summer was low, leaving sis without her usual salable surplus. The usual carryover will cover the herd this winter, but if next year's crop is also low, she'll be forced to reduce the herd. While we had a good crop the previous year, the wider market was already experiencing drought and high feed prices back then. Fortunately the farm-ranch operation is just her pet retirement project since taking over operations from dad. All of us kids originally left the farm for better careers. All still involved with it, but none with any dependence on it. It hasn't really been financially viable to support a family for many decades.

Sleepy Don's tariff spat with Brazil may have some added impact on beef. It was repealed earlier this week, as he finally recognized that the electorate isn't believing his 'falling prices' story, but that can't have rippled through to the meat counter yet.

Dairy is infamous for cycles unrelated to party in office. Our family farm's dairy and other non-beef operations ended before my generation was born.

Other food products that are commonly imported are seeing tariff consequences, though it is difficult to keep track of their current TACO status. U.S. agricultural exports are also being hit by tariff backlash. Apple orchards in my region, and soy farmers in other regions, have lost much overseas sales. The cherry harvest here was also slashed by lack of pickers, even legal workers fearing ICE raids, so half the crop rotted on the trees. I believe many other crops were similarly hit.

 

Yup; remembered that as a kid living in Hawaii. That stuff was horrible, when you were used to drinking the real stuff in the states.

According to certain 'news sources', it's difficult for American products to compete because foreign government subsidizing their industries. I thought it was hilarious when they (our current gov't) said they would look into tariff exemptions for certain food stuff?? Wait; We were told other countries would be paying that - NOT us?????

Trunk doesn't buy groceries and only steps into a grocery store for a photo op... Found it amusing when he stated grocery prices was coming down - 60 minutes interview??? They were way too soft on him, afraid of getting sued again.

Just my 2-cents.

 

Does that include this year? I've frequently heard about other Canadian travel to the U.S. being down sharply since Sleepy Don challenged their sovereignty. And many U.S. products (especially alcohol) either removed from their shelves, or discouraged as customers are encouraged to buy domestic products, or imports from elsewhere.

 

I'm pretty sure they still cross the border to gas up and buy cheaper goods, if they're close enough and it makes sense.
This also happens a lot on border towns between states, like Oregon and Washington.

 

Save your money! That unethical white stuff can kill you! There's absolutely no valid reason for drinking this junk. It's just an outdated habit from childhood and people never grew up enough to realize how bad the stuff is. Here's the top 10 reasons why you need to consider stopping:

1. Lactose intolerance is extremely common

About 65–70% of the world’s adults produce little lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose).
Symptoms: gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea.

2. Milk can trigger digestive inflammation in lactose-intolerant individuals

Undigested lactose ferments in the colon → irritation → chronic GI discomfort if consumed regularly.

3. Some people react to casein or whey proteins

This is not lactose intolerance.
Casein/whey sensitivities can cause inflammation, congestion, skin issues, or GI upset.

4. Dairy is a top food allergen

A true milk allergy (immune-system mediated) can cause hives, swelling, vomiting, or anaphylaxis—not common, but serious.

5. Hormones in milk may influence acne in susceptible people

Dairy can increase insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which is linked to acne flare-ups in some populations.
Particularly true for skim milk.

6. Saturated fat content may influence cholesterol

Full-fat dairy contains saturated fat.
For some people—especially those genetically sensitive—this can raise LDL cholesterol.

7. Large observational studies link high dairy intake to prostate cancer risk

Not conclusive, but repeated studies show an association between very high dairy consumption and increased prostate cancer risk. Mechanism may involve calcium or IGF-1.

8. Many adults do not need the calcium load

If you already meet calcium needs through food or supplements, excess calcium can contribute to kidney stones for some people.

9. Some people experience increased mucus or congestion

Not proven in everyone, but a subset reports respiratory irritation or worsened sinus issues after consuming dairy.
(Still debated, but the effect is real for some.)

10. Ethical and environmental concerns

Not a health effect, but many avoid milk because of animal welfare or the environmental footprint of dairy production (methane, land use, water). These concerns lead some to view dairy as “bad” overall.

 

Definitely fewer Canadians are crossing because of Trump's antics, but I would guess the least wealthy wouldn't be deterred. I would also speculate that many of them see Trump as a man of the people (based on discussions I've had with family members there).
