Found through the Festival of Frugality: with recession-oriented milk sales, powdered milk can sometimes be more expensive. Good tips and also some thoughts on shelf-stable (boxed) fluid milk.
Last time I did the math on it (a year ago), powdered was coming out about the same as fresh in this area; but as the article points out, if stores are trying to attract buyers with milk sales, that can widen the price gap.

Thanks for the mention!
I have noticed that, too.
I still get powdered milk, though, because it enables us to shop only twice a month, which saves time and gas. So I get three gallons for fresh drinking and then use powdered in cooking to stretch those over two weeks.
