Random Misawa Trivia - Milk

Photobucket

Remember my joy at Albertson's 10/$10 sale on milk? Here's a few random facts on milk in Japan.

Kim reports from Tokyo
  • milk on the economy in Tokyo sells for $1.50 - $2.00 per liter (quart)...
  • $6 - $8 per gal

Renee reports from the Misawa Commissary

  • milk is not sold by the gal.
  • it is ultra-pasteurized (ugh)
  • $2.05+ for 1/2 a gal.
  • $4.10+ per gal

De'Etta's Conclusions

  • This is one instance where the commissary is a real blessing.
  • This takes me further from my goal of certified raw or raw/pasteurized milk.
  • We drink 2 gal a day around here....though we are down to about 1 1/2 gals....
  • This will be $43 - $57.40 per week at the current rate of consumption....look for changes...but viva la COLA (Cost of Living Allowance).

Another example of the sort of current and insightful reporting you've come to expect on this blog. ::snort::

Yes....we got a lot of school done today. We're home from drama and motivated to do a bit more. BUT the above was classic and I wanted to remember to have it saved in the "family conversation".
