Why is milk so cheap in shops?

Question

If I am thirsty, Instead of buying a bottle of drink from a shop for 1.20 ie coke, fanta etc etc... I just buy 1 pint of milk for 55p... It made me think, WHy isit so cheap??

Answer 1

I agree with above milk here in alabama is almost 5 dollars a gallon and even to just go get a pint is over a dollar.  Its even worse at like a gas station.  Its almost 2 bucks there(like 1.89 I last time I bought one!) of course 20 oz cokes are like 1.60 here

Answer 2

Depends where ur buying

Answer 3

Well you are on of the lucky ones, LOL

Milk here in Texas is outrageous!!!

Answer 4

I think the more sensible question would be why is coke so expensive. It has to do with the idea that milk is seen as an essential food for families with children. It is produced and processed by local farmers and distributors. Coke is really a luxury product produced for the sole purpose of making profits. They can charge as much as people will pay without suffering criticism for overcharging for a critical food source.

Answer 5

BECAUSE ITS A SHOP THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS THERE AND PEOPLE BUY MILK MORE THAN ANYTHING THATS WHY THEY MAKE IT LESS

Answer 6

It all depends in what state, and what part of said state, you're in. Here in So Cal, it's pretty ourtageous for a gallon of milk; pretty close to $6.50. That's way more than it probably is in your state.
