It runs near to that around here - if there is no sale going on. I don't drink
a lot of milk any more. Mostly because there is something in it that wants me
to go take a nap after a 12 oz glass of 2% or better. But, I do use it as a
cooking ingredient in some things. The near U$4/gal pricing is only because of
gummint price supports. If not for those milk would be as expensive as a 750ml
of mid-range booze.
 
 DD> ALDI has all 4 milks and soy milk for U$2.49/gal this week.

 DS> Lucky you!

ALDI abounds - I dunno how close you are to Baltimore but it's almost certainly
outside your normal shopping patterns. There are five ALDIs in Baltimore, one
each in Randallstown, Glen Burnie and Pasadena, etc. for a total of 20
locations including one in Dee Cee. If there is a China-Mart nearby watch the
neighbourhood as that seems to be ALDI's new marketing model. Locating near to
a "big box" and using it as a magnet to draw traffic. And Wally World certainly
qualifies as a "big (something)".

I just whistled up the advert (http://tinyurl.com/lruopoh) for the Essex, MD
ALDI where they are featuring all varieties of milk for U$1.99/gallon on the
front page. Skim, 2%, Vitamin D (Whole) are all pictured. US$1.39 for
cantaloupe, too. Or is it Gail that doesn't do mushmelon? I like a half
cantaloupe with chicken salad for a tasty and fairly guilt-free supper
sometimes.
