Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

1 gallon of milk costs me $1.65, in Denmark it would be $4.16. To fill up my 15 gallon gas tank costs about $41.25, in Denmark it would be $104.48. A loaf of bread is about $1, in Denmark it is $1.45 (Ja!, so not everything is triple ).

Good lord, $1.65 a gallon for milk? I've occasionally gotten a gallon for under $3 over the last year, usually at Wal-Mart or Aldi. My last gallon from Wal-Mart was $3.12, it was $3.43 at Kroger. I haven't been to Aldi in about a month, but it was $3.02 there.

It's tough to say, but I have to go back to about 2006 to remember milk under $2. My parents live in WI I was there for Memorial day weekend and got a gallon for $2.87. In WI. America's Dairyland (though I'm aware that California does produce more milk now).

Nothing else you list there is 3 times. I'd also question your prices for other items too. I can get a loaf of bread for right around $1, but it's not good bread. You want something with a brand name on it? You are paying over $1.50 a loaf most places (and I've been in grocery stores in MO, WI, and ND in the last week).

Have you grocery shopped in the last two years or has someone else been doing it for you?

The gas price is the only thing you listed that seems remotely close to what I've seen recently and I live in an area that is still considered low for cost of living in this country. And of course gas prices are higher in most of Europe and have been for decades for other reasons.
