Now that me and my siblings have (mostly) moved out of my parents’ house, there are far fewer milk crises. They have gone from going through a gallon or more per day to a half gallon every few weeks. Meanwhile, though, I have to supply my own milk.
Before I left for England (Fall 2008), milk prices had been climbing for a while. It wasn’t hard to pay over $5/gallon. I was pretty shocked when I got back this summer, then, and was paying only half that at not-cheap supermarkets. It turns out that while I was gone, there was a “dairy crisis” marked by falling milk prices. More delicious milk for me!

It looks like now I can drink twice as much milk!
