Showing Original Post only (View all)Was at grocery store yesterday, saw something disturbing. [View all]
Remember the "organic milk" I mentioned, that was more than twice as expensive as ordinary milk?
($2.70 a gallon as compared to $6 a HALF gallon for organic...)
The ordinary milk is still $2.70 a gallon.
The organic milk is EIGHT BUCKS a half gallon now.
Organic is nothing more than a scam.
