Would you pay more for Milk to have it delivered?
 

Okay so I moved to Rhode Island, and unlike Fort Lauderdale, they have milk men here! I couldnt believe my fucking eyes when I saw it, guys delivering milk in glass bottles, very strange.

So I just got the price list and the prices are like 30% more than the grocery store on all of their dairy, juices, and bacon. Would you guys pay the premium for the novelty of having it delivered by a guy in a milk truck that looks like he's stuck in the 50's?

Yes

Yeah, sure why not. Just to live like the people on TV :winkwink:

I'd pay more to have it in a glass bottle. Everything tastes better in glass.

My dad's first job was for the local dairy back when milk still came in glass but they had just switched over to plastic for cottage cheese and other products.

He was the cashier at the dairy for when people came in to pick stuff up or drop off glass bottles for the deposit money. Some old geezers would come in once in a while with a glass cottage cheese container or some other relic from before my dad was born and he'd give them their 10 cent (or whatever) deposit and take the thing home with him to keep cause he thought it was cool. He still has a collection of milk bottles and such from that dairy.

hell yeah I would !

where in RI ? I drive from mass into ri everyday, I might have to consider moving just for the milkman...

oh no, you dont have a wife do you ? to many stories of them running off with the milk man...

I dont think its novelty, more of a convience. It would so cut down on my store runs and save me more than the extra 30% because I would not buy impulse shit.

High labor costs killed the old Milkman image of the 50's.

Mmmmm!! Yummy! I *did* pay more to have it delivered (when I lived where that was an option and before I started drinking only organic to avoid the hormones & antibiotics) because I drank so much milk and yeah, glass bottles make the milk taste so much better than cardboard or plastic. It was worth it too just because I would freak out if I ran out of milk.

Never thought I would do it, but a couple of months ago I actually stopped drinking milk -- it was making me fart way too much.

Hell yea I would, but doesnt that mean you would have to be home all day or do they give you a delivery time?

we've got milkmen around here (western mass). one of them lives on my street. I drive by his house on the way to get my Hood milk at habibmart.

Do you live around Springfield?

I'm in Providence. A couple blocks from Providence College. Where in RI do you go?

The name of the company is Christiansen's Fine Milk in No. Providence.

No, they give you a milk box. Its like a metal cooler they put on your porch. They put the milk in that.

I drive to West Warwick from Mass... 195 to 95 South... I work about a block away from the Showcase in Warwick...

Unless you're getting all your groceries delivered, then what's the point? You're just going to go to the grocery store and walk by the dairy section a bunch of times while you buy everything else. :2 cents:

You can usually get other provisions delivered (cheese, eggs, etc.) so it cuts back on going to the store. Plus you're doing more to support your local economy.

Probably for the first couple months at least. Sounds nostalgic. :thumbsup

plus you (and your kids if you got any) get to experience the old fashioned way of doing things...

It's good if you got no time to do your shopping. Otherwise, I'd suggest do it the old-fashioned way.

Exactly! And you can shoot contact of the wife fucking not only the postman, but the MILKMAN too! :thumbsup It's a website waiting to happen.

i would definately would use the milkman :thumbsup

no

I think the determining factor is... delivered by who?

I'd still prefer to do my own shopping.

Personally, I go through 2L of milk in 2-3 days. I only do a grocery order every 2 weeks or so. Having milk delivered would save me a lot of time. And time is money, so I'd pay that extra 30%.

When it comes to groceries, I have to shop for them myself, at the store. I'm usually the kinda guy that loves to do everything online. I tried doing my groceries online and I simply couldn't.

But I buy the same brand of milk all the time, so I'd have no problem having it delivered.
