10 cents
One straw penny.
Alcohol, milk, water
A quart of milk during the Great Depression cost around 14 cents. During this time the government did issue cardboard chips that could be redeemed for things like bread or milk. Some people used powdered milk to save money.
Farmers wasted their milk so they could decrease inflation on the milk. Less milk + popular demand = more expensive milk

Milk was sold in quart containers instead of by the gallon during the 1930s. That being said, 4 quarts or a gallon of milk, would have cost 1 dollar in 1933, during the Great Depression.
Since it was the great depression, milk was $400 a gallon in 1910! WHOA! Ayalnesh's virus-free milk was the BEST! :) I LOVE CHEESE
In 1939, the average cost of a gallon of milk in the United States was approximately 50 cents. This price varied slightly depending on the region and local market conditions, but generally, it reflects the economic context of the time, including the effects of the Great Depression. Adjusted for inflation, this cost would be significantly higher in today's dollars.
well their were many like milk, eggs, bread and gas but when it crashed they mainly sold apples and and other fruits to get by. Some exports included war supplies.
There was some violence during the Great Depression. Some cities saw angry, hungry crowds riot and break into food markets and clear out the shelves. In Wisconsin, dairy farmers stopped milk trucks on the way to market and dumped the milk into ditches. There hope was to create a shortage of milk to raise the price the farmer received. Most Americans suffered through the Depression without violence or calls for revolution. In fact, the most violent act was caused by the Hoover Administration in breaking up the Bonus Expeditionary Force of WWI vets at the start of the Depression.
they had to work for little change they spent on milk and needed things for the family
In 1929, the cost of living was significantly lower than today. For instance, a loaf of bread was about 8 cents, a gallon of milk cost around 50 cents, and a new car could be purchased for approximately $600. Additionally, movie tickets were around 25 cents, reflecting the economic conditions of the time before the Great Depression.
