    1. She actually says she doesn’t know what “a milk carton costs”, which makes me wonder if she thinks you pick out a milk carton, then fill it with milk, then pay.

      There was literally a scene in Succession where Logan asks his kids how much milk costs lol

    3. If only there were some device we carry with us that can tell us the price of LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE

    4. I mean…she could just go to a store and look at how much stuff costs if she’d “like to know.”

    5. I actually liked her honesty and found it funny. We all know she’s rich it would be more annoying if she pretended to be working class. We should still tax the rich though.

    6. In her defense, she lives in a world where other people do that stuff for you. Regardless of how anyone feels about her, she can’t just go to a store and grocery shop. Her level of fame and ability to be recognized makes that task almost impossible – especially if she would want to compare/contrast brands, prices, and etc.

      Yes, there are other celebrities that make it work, but she isn’t that type. There are “regular” people who go to the store and load up the basket and don’t think twice about how much anything costs, they just put the card down. There are “regular” people who order grocery pickup or delivery and just pay.

      I really don’t see this as a sign of her being out of touch.

      We ALL have tasks that we don’t enjoy doing, and if we are lucky enough to be able to pay someone else to do them for us and we foot the bill, fabulous. Consider it an economic boost because someone got paid to do it for her. But she isn’t trash for not going to the grocery store, especially when companies like Door Dash and Uber Eats are geared toward AVERAGE people who don’t want to get their ass up and go to the restaurant, so they would rather pay an uncharge and sit on their couch until someone brings their food to them.

    7. Between this and the merkin, it seems like the Kardashian brand is once again fighting for relevance. This schtick is so tired. 

    8. I’m actually…okay with this? At least she’s not pretending. She’s a multimillionaire, or maybe even a billionaire—I’m not sure. I would not expect her to know these things. It would be super fake for her to pretend that she’s just a regular woman. She didn’t even try to bullshit because we all know what she is, and at least she’s owns it.

      To be fair, neither do I LMAO. Not because I’m filthy rich though, just because when I buy milk the price doesn’t determine whether I’m going to buy or not. I just grab the brand that I usually buy.

    10. At this point, neither do I. It becomes so frustrating and depressing to see grocery prices, that I just get the things we need, pay, and run to my car.

      Necessities are just that. For other shit like snacks, I pay closer attention and decide if it’s worth it health-wise + financially.

      I do know that Hiland brand milk is basically double store brand cost, so fuck Hiland up the butt

    11. I don’t know, I mean it’s depressing that there are individual people with so much money that they are able to not know these things.

      At the same time, she’s not laughing about it here. At least it’s something she acknowledges about her life.

      Are we surprised? She just released a thong that has faux pubic hair on it. Out. Of. Touch. 

    13. I don’t know either 😬 if I need milk it’s going in the basket, I don’t usually check the prices of kitchen staples.

    14. “How much is a pint of milk?” used to be a question in Empire magazine. The amount of celebs who had no clue was nuts.

    15. I bought milk two hours ago and couldn’t tell you what it cost. I need milk, I buy it (to be clear, I agree that the rich should pay their fair share of taxes, but this soundbite isn’t the “gotcha” moment that some are painting it to be).

      Why would she know, she has assistants to do her food shopping and doesn’t need to bother with small details while running her empire and being a single mother. Why are people sensitive about this.

    17. It’s not about the actual cost- it’s about the cost relative to income. Her perception is completely skewed when it comes to that because she can’t relate. Milk at the grocery store is to most of us what a private jet is to her.. for scale.

      Kim is what, 44? She most likely has never known the price of a carton of milk, nor will she if she lives another 44 years.

    19. it will always confuse me how she and that family continue to have fans despite them being completely out of touch

    20. Curious-Gain-7148 on

      Really? How could she know?

      She can’t really go to the supermarket without being accosted. And even if she did know – she’d have no sense of comparison

    21. FYI she said this as an attempt at a quirky flex. She LOVES when average people are jealous. Doesn’t matter if you are paycheck to paycheck, have debt, whatever, this family gets off on your attention. Ignore them.

    22. She is friends with all of the ppl who are trying to bring down America. I don’t know why ppl keep her relevant when she is just like them she just doesn’t talk about it. She doesn’t care about her fans.

    23. Like others have said, you don’t have to make *that* much money to not know the prices of groceries. I do the shopping for my family every week. I spend about $300, but I don’t know how much any individual item costs because we’re lucky enough to make enough money to just buy what we need

    24. Kim needs to call Jack from 30 Rock on this one, so he can tell her first hand that it costs $90 a gallon!

      This question came right after being asked how much she spends on glam a year. She says she doesn’t know, but likely between 1-5 million.

      It’s also interesting when you listen because she talks about negotiating deals and saving money on things and stuff. Made me wish they talked more about money cause I️ wonder what her perception is like
