Why is a whole gallon of milk often cheaper than a 1/2 gallon?

Every time I go to the store the 1/2 gallon of milk is more expensive than the whole gallon of the same brand. I only want the 1/2 gallon, but how can you justify paying more for less?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think it's the cost of production
The whole gallon is more solicited by the market, so the production is more standardized: it's cheaper to buy the machines that process it and cheaper to transport
when a product is less required by the market, as the 1/2 gallon. the cost of machines is higher
It happens often not only for milk but for other products; the product with less size is more expensive or close to the value of the product with greater size

It makes sense

Hi, were I live it is not that much more to buy a gallon versus 1/2 gallon of milk. If you need it, then you have it. I always buy the gallon just for me and my husband. If I have some left I bake something with it!
