My wife got a gallon of whole milk with vitamin D at Wal-Mart today it was $4.53/gal Just wow! Try buying a box of instant dry milk. It will cost you about $5.00 for a box that makes a gallon! My wife was amazed! And we get a 10% discount on some items because she works there. So you can take off 10% for our cost on the milk products! Coffee and milk are two food items we save($?) on, all the rest are all full price to her.
If you’re buying powdered milk, and you have a Mexican food section in your Walmart, check out the Nestles powdered whole milk, it’s really good! It’s called NIDO.
I stock up on it because we live so far from town.

Could that have any bearing on the cost of food there?
