What does a gallon of milk cost in Bermuda?

A gallon of milk in Bermuda typically runs $15 USD, four times the US mainland average of around $4. The premium reflects import dependence: nearly all dairy arrives by ship or air, and customs duties, freight, and limited shelf life combine to push the price. Other staples follow the same pattern: a dozen eggs runs $5 to $7, a loaf of bread $5, a pound of chicken $8 to $12, and most produce 50 to 100 percent above mainland US prices. Locally caught fish is the affordable outlier. The grocery premium is the main reason Bermuda’s moderate lifestyle benchmark ($4,900 per person per month) sits 39 percent above the US average ($3,525) despite relatively contained rent in modest units.
