I did look at the price of powdered milk once, don't know why because
I loathe the stuff, but it was quite pricey.


Back when I was a widdle wun (the 1960's), powdered milk
was about 1/2 the price of regular.

We'd (or rather my parents) would add it to macaroni and
cheese and it was ok for that.

About a decade ago I priced it at the market and saw, like
you did, that it's more expensive.

I have absolutely no idea why and how this was and is
the case. There's so much gov't price fixing and support
in milk pricing that there's plenty of questions
involved...
