rhode Islanders Will Pay More for Milk Starting Next Week, and Your Grocery Bill Is About to Feel It
Attention, shoppers: Your morning coffee just got pricier. Starting next Monday, the average gallon of milk in rhode Island will jump by 12%, thanks to a new state mandate requiring dairy farms to switch to pricier feed. For a family of four, that’s an extra $240 a year at the checkout counter. Local advocates say the move is meant to curb methane emissions, but the consumer impact is immediate and unavoidable. Stop hoarding eggs—start hoarding iced latte money, because this 'rhode' sneaker of a policy is pinching budgets tight.
