Does lower fat milk cost less where you live? All the various milks cost the same per gallon here. I buy skim to drink, but special cooking gets either 2% or whole milk. Goomba

2% is about 10 cents less than whole, skim is about 20 cents less. In Springfield, Missouri, at Braum's, it was the opposite, which seems bizarre.

Lower fat milk is less expensive here. It also tends to be on sale more often than whole milk.

In my corner of LA, skim milk, aka fat free milk, is 50 cents per gallon cheaper than whole milk.

Prolly not LOL. Are there even chippies in New Delhi?? The mind boggles.
> btw, we don't like even slightly spicy!
Oh no! Got to have something with chiles, curry or otherwise at least twice a week. Rice pudding the rest of the time :)
