WOW. I'm used to paying more for milk here (NC) than where I grew up (MD), but for a couple of months now Kroger has been selling skim for...
As long as you keep it in a vacuum, or under an inert atmosphere. Perhaps in those apocryphal "air-tight slabs". :rolleyes: Oh, and don't handle...

For a clear counterfeit that isn't marked as such, I wouldn't give the seller any breaks at all. Let me qualify that -- if their selling history...
