That may be true, but we only use about 1-2 gallons of milk a week,
while it takes roughly 12 gallons of gas a week. It also costs us about
$1.87 a gallon or less for milk, because we get it at Costco or on sale
elsewhere. The only other things on their comparison list we buy a
Hershey's Syrup, the large container lasts us about 4-6 months, Olive
oil (different brand, a little cheaper) which lasts us around 2 months,
Tylenol infant drops, the little bottle lasts us probably 6 months to a
year, our toothpaste is cheaper, and it lasts us a month or so. That's
why gas prices are so hard to take.
Regards,
Ranee (it's $2.30 a gallon here)
