- - got milk? (http://www.pixies-place.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26568)

I'd pay a ton to have BGH-free milk delivered. It would be worth the $$ to me.

Ucky, I know which store uses Pea Pod out here, and that's not my favorite store. But, ya know, I observed that the convenience stores are considerably cheaper for milk than the grocery stores and I just don't understand that!

We always had Anthony's milk delivered to the house when I was growing up...when they went out of business, that stopped...but before it did, I remember the punk kid across the street took it out on me because the milk truck ran over his dog...in the late '80s or early '90s Purity started offering home delivery again, I took that offer up, & as I recall, the prices weren't too far out of line with what I was paying at the grocery stores...

We had an older milkman for a long time. I liked him. He delivered Sealtest® milk...and bread, cakes, pie, cottage cheese, etc...(geezzzz I miss their Garden Style cottage cheese...mmmmmmm!)

My mom would allow him in for coffee from time to time. He was a sweet old guy and had lots of interesting stories that he'd tell us.

Then he retired and we got a younger milkman. Had him for nearly a year when he discovered I was pregnant (I was showing like crazy...and I was only 15). I guess he thought I might be easy since I was so young, yet pregnant. He came in one day to drop off our delivery and pulled me into his arms and tried to feel my breasts. I pushed him away and called for my mother. He left in a hurry! I told my mom what happened and she called Sealtest and we never saw that milkman again!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...wonder what happened to that pedophile?

OMG...I just realized the correlation between the milkman trying to feel my breasts and the title of this thread! Oh...I am a sick pup!

Leaving now!

Yep .............. one sick pup .................. But we Love you anyway.

Actually maddy, the price discrepancy is something Mrs. WI & I caught on to a few years ago...when the price of milk shot up overnight. I don't quite understand why they can sell it for $1 less a gallon either but with a family of five milk drinkers...well, we go through a gallon a day and it adds up! Now that we're having a local dairy deliver milk, we're back to paying what the grocery stores charge.

I'm not crazy about Stop & Shop either, but have heard good things about PeaPod. I've actually been through the delivery center for Connecticut and it really is an impressive operation. Supposedly, they ship a better quality of meat and fresher produce because it's cheaper to provide you with a better product than it is to send the driver out to exchange one you're not happy with. I'll let you all know how it shakes out for us.
