I try to get milk at Costco, sold by the gallon only, about 3.29 a gallon, I think. I really don’t look at the price there because I know it’s a great price for what it is. Otherwise, I will get a smaller one at Trader Joe’s, which also has pretty good prices. I may not need a gallon at a time, but Costco has the best price so I have no choice but to get that. I try not to buy milk anywhere else unless I’m desperate, because I hate paying high prices for it. If I’m on vacation and I need milk for the hotel room, I will buy a quart and have to pay whatever I have to pay.
I really only drink milk in my coffeee or tea. I need it in my coffee and on vacation, when they give you a coffee maker in the hotel, I need milk for that. We don’t eat cereal too often. Once in a while I use it for a recipe or my daughter likes hot chocolate.
Gas is a necessity so I have to pay whatever is the going rate for gas. I try to get it cheap, and I am a Costco member so I try to drive there and fill up when possible. When I’m on vacation or if my tank runs low, I may have no choice but pay a high price for it. I don’t prefer that, but it’s not something that I may have a choice about.
