Milk money

A couple of months ago, I noted in passing that LIDL had the lowest price on milk (of three grocery chains), by a dollar. It was $1.67 per half gallon.

A week or so ago, I noticed that they’d raised the price to $1.87.


(Yeah—you do have to watch out for cartons damaged in shipping.)

Huh, I thought. But inflation, fuel cost increases—I guess 11% is…well, it just is.

So I checked out the other three stores.

Trader Joe’s; actually, no change from March:

But Wegmans is charging almost as much for a half gallon as they are for a full gallon:


They’re now up there with Giant:

(Giant was ahead of the game--$3.29 back in March.)

Folks, I do not know what’s going on, but that delta between LIDL and the other is eye-watering.
