hmmm my milk is .146743 milliliters shy of that.
Isn't it 3785.41 ml? Or is that yet another different gallon?
Oh boy.
The gallon is a unit of volume […] Three different versions are in current use:
- the imperial gallon […] defined as 4.54609 litres
- the US gallon […] (exactly 3.785411784 L),
- the US dry gallon […] (exactly 4.40488377086 L)
Anybody still wondering why the sane part of the world uses metric?
A gallon of milk is HOW MUCH?
3.78541 liter. See, still true, no inflation to see!
Euro per liter where I'm from, hasn't changed at all.
I was waiting for my cosin the other day at a bus stop... he arrives, he's eating a burger. I asked how much he paid for it, he said $3. I just came back from a computer store and bought a 32GB flash drive. Guess how much that thing cost me... you guessed it, $3.
So, basically, a flash drive that I'm gonna use in the next 3 or 4 years is the same price as a burger that I'm gonna eat and shit out in the next few hours or so.
IDK about everyone else, but that seems whacked to me.
Where are you buying flash drives for 3 bucks?
Where is your cousin getting burgers for 3 dollars?
What decade is it?
Lol, I don't live in the US 😂. The price in $ was to cater to Lemmy users, which are mostly from the US from what I've gathered 😂.
But google for the price of flash drives these days, you'll see that a 32GB one is about the same price as a burger, wherever you might live in the US.

Yeah, read the reply above, I don't live in the US 😂.

Remember:
Inflation isn't real, they raise the prices without raising the wages and cry crocodile tears that they couldn't afford to raise wages as they live in self pity in their previous-year model yacht.
I'm genuinely convinced we're very close to systematic collapse in the countries later into the capitalism boom. It's maybe 5-20 years out but most of us will watch it unfold
I just went grocery shopping. We went to a regular store for about 10 items to make a homemade soup, and then went to Aldi for the rest. The 10 items cost the same as all of the stuff we got at Aldi
It’s regrettable that I can’t complete my shopping at Aldi, and I’m not impressed with certain products, but the $4 Belgian chocolates I bought on a whim are divine. Also I got a gallon of milk there for $2.51, but the almond and oat milk were more than that for a half gallon. Also regrettable because I need to lay off the milk.
We managed to make it work because my fiancee hates shopping around. The prices everywhere else are insane, so we completely changed our regular meal rotation to fit what Aldi sells. I totally agree though, some of their items aren't very good and others are still too expensive
I too have adjusted my meals when I’m able to make an Aldi’s run. Agree with the rest, too.
I've been very impressed by Aldi lately.
Since when is Aldi not a regular store?
It's affordable
Discounter vs super market.
$3.49 per gallon at Kroger's. Not bad.
6+ at my Kroger...
Here in California, a gallon of milk cost me $1.58, but that's at Grocery Outlet, not a Kroger owned store like Albertsons
Jesus Christ. Over here it would cost the equivalent of 4$
Wish ours was this cheap
California has so many people there are a couple places that specialize in buying up all the stuff that is about to go out of date, and slashing the prices so they sell before the sell by date. That's the only reason. Also you go there first before Aldi's, cause you don't know what they'll have. They always have milk, bread, eggs, tortillas, and lots of other stuff, but the other stuff is random.
Ohhh so it's like a food bank over here. Unfortunately you need a card to be eligible to purchase from a food bank but they function on nearly the same principle.
No, it's a normal store. There's just so much food that would otherwise go to the food banks that it's profitable to slash the prices and sell it off this way.
If it doesn't sell at grocery outlet, then it will go to the food bank.

$2.87 here
I've been paying about $6 per gallon for organic milk since Obama was in office, and I have no regrets about it because normal milk goes bad in about a week and the organic milk stays fresh until the last drop is gone.
0.1 miles per gallon. From the store to the car this thing costs over $150 to operate.
Just imagine all the inches people save by parking as close as possible to the door and driving for 5-10 minutes just to get that FIRST parking spot.
At least egg prices are coming back down?
Don't worry, supposedly there's been another outbreak of avian flu and so maybe egg prices can get jacked up again.
My preferred eggs are still nearly $10 per dozen, so it sure doesn't feel like it.
God damn son. They were up to 4 or 5 where I live, they're back down to like 1.20ish now. I feel bad for you man.
AUD$6.10 for a gallon of the cheapest possible milk I can find within 30km/20 miles here in Australia.
USD$4.00 even... Again for the cheapest possible 12 pack 1L UHT generic milk.
If you want something from the supermarket fridge you're gonna to need to start at multiplying that by 1.5 to 2x .
So USD$8 /gal might be fairly typical here.
Is that $4 USD for 12×1 litre bottles/cartons of milk? Cause that's like 3.5 gallons of milk.
Lol.. I wish.
No.. it's USD$4 per 1 gallon of you buy the cheapest nastiest stuff money can buy.
Grocery stores know that when people are struggling to afford to eat, they try to save some money by going for the cheaper brands, which are typically owned by the store. Since the store control all the prices, they are able to jack up the price of everything, making their customers go "wow, food is expensive, better try to bargain hunt more", and suddenly you're not buying the competitor bread, now you're buying Western Family / No Name, and they profit both from the price hikes AND because they grow their market share on first-party goods.

It's fucked up that they are allowed to both make AND sell the same products on the same shelves as their competitor's goods, but that's because our antitrust sucks.
There is NO downside for the store when they make you starve, you still gotta eat to live so you'll pay anything, and these things are all owned by the same handful of megacorps.
