How much is?
So the topic about not affording kits as much and exchange rates got me thinking. I'm wondering how much certain things are where you live, whether it be America or overseas or wherever you are.
A loaf of whitewheat bread is 2.29 here (eastern NC). I guess bread is an international type thing, something we all might be able to compare? Maybe milk would be the better question? IDK. Just curious. |

I think I pay about $1.88 for a loaf of whole wheat bread. We buy it wholesale, as we go through about 5 loaves a week.
Milk, we pay about $4.50 for a 4 Litre jug (I think that is 1 Gallon US?)

We buy our bread in bulk too, it's about $2 per loaf. Milk is just over $3 a gallon (which is just about 7 ounces less than 4L )

Can everyone edit their posts to say where they live? Will be interesting to know what the prices are in each country and/or State. I haven't bought bread in a couple of weeks so I will have to go to the grocery store and look (I typically buy tortillas for 90% of our meals).

I started buying the store brand bread and it's 88 cents for a smaller loaf, and about $1.50 for a sandwich loaf. I usually get 2 gallons of milk at a time at Sam's Club for about $3.69, but today at the grocery store I paid $1.99.

Here in New Zealand our cheapest white bread is about NZ$1.50 (US$3), but the expensive ones are up around NZ$4.50 a loaf. (The exchange rate at the moment is somewhere between 51 and 54 US cents to our dollar)
I pay NZ$2.50 for 2 litres of milk. The dearer brands costs about NZ$4.00 per 2 litres, yet it tastes exactly the same. |

If I go to the bread store I can get I think 3 loaves for like 4 dollars. Maybe a little more or less. Sometimes the bread is close to the expiration date but most times it is just like buying it at the grocery store.
Milk is between 2.79 and 4.00 a gallon. Oh and the namebrand milk is around 5.00 a gallon. When I say name brand I mean T.G. Lee. The bad part about that?? It is a local milk. The place is probably no more then 30 miles from my house and I pay less for a brand that is farther away Last edited by jessica31876; 03-23-2009 at 02:18 AM. |

Copenhagen, Denmark -- Loaf of bread is anywhere from 3.50 up to 5.00 American dollars a loaf and milk is about 4.50 American dollars a litre. Everything is much more expensive here, but our salaries are also much higher, so it all is relative I guess! lol

ETA: I'm in western Pennsylvania (about 1.5 to 2 hours east of Pittsburgh)
I buy a Schweble's Sweet Harvest whole wheat bread for toast and "stuff" and I pay $1.92 for that. Then for sandwiches my Wal Mart has a sandwich wheat of their brand (it's real thin and hardly any crust....PERFECT) and I pay about $1.25 for a loaf of that!! We only buy one certain brand of milk, it's from a local dairy and although it's not organic it is hormone free and we pay about $3.60 for whole milk and about $3.03 for skim milk.

I've actually noticed prices have gone down a bit here in Mississippi since last summer when gas was so high. I buy store brand bread about 1.20 and store brand milk about 3 dollars. Gas is 1.79. Our wal-mart here has really cut prices on certain things.

I'm in Eastern PA and milk here is about $2.73 for skim and just under 3 dollars for whole milk.
Bread is about $1.95-$3.00 depending on brand and wheat/white. I'm glad prices went down because I really hated paying $4.00 for milk.

Milk is around $3.75 a gallon. Bread is about $4.50 a loaf (I only buy Oroweat Double Fiber or their Whole Wheat). Gas is about $1.99 a gallon. Eggs are about $3.98 for an 18-pack of large eggs. Way too expensive if you ask me! |

Milk was on sale for $1.28/gallon (down from about $2.30ish) so I bought several and froze some. Aaaand I just got gas this morning at $1.91 (oh and I'm in MN)

we used to freeze milk when I was a kid. Then my mom got this like 100 pound bag of powdered milk which is just plain NASTY!!!We would just stick the milk in the freezer though and when we needed it just pull it out and put it in the fridge

I'm in Ely, Nevada (three hours from Vegas) and we pay $1.50 for SaraLee whole grain bread. We usually get it the day the bread man comes and marks it down. We stock up on it - usually buying five loaves at a time.
Gas here is $2.09 but they can get away with that here because we're so isolated. Milk here is $2.59 and we go through a gallon a day! LOL |

When we're about to run out, we grab a gallon from the freezer, let it thaw for like 2 or 3 days in the fridge... then you have to shake the begeezus out of it cuz it separates when it thaws. It tastes the same and looks the same... the texture is slightly different but my kids don't ever know the difference if I don't tell them though. *shrug*

LOL I know!! That was ohhh about 20-22 years ago that my mom bought that stuff and supposedly it has improved since then but the memories of it as a kid makes me nauseous still!! It always had little lumps of powder in it and had an odd sweet flavor to it. Just not good at all
