Say goodbye to $1 pizza. Milk is getting more expensive, and that means all dairy products — cheese, baked goods, pastries, everything that you hold near and dear to your heart — will be seeing a price bump.
The U.S. just doesn’t have enough dairy supplies to fulfill the consumers’ demands, Bloomberg reports, leading to a surge in imports…and costs. It may be time to start hoarding and freezing. Who knows, maybe buying an extra refrigerator will soon be less expensive than a box of pie. (OK, probably not, but still.)

You might have to settle for hot dogs — *gasp* — instead of cheesy pizza goodness this football season.
