Wow, That Was Some Cheap Milk

These days, when you find a real bargain, it almost makes you want to shout from the hilltops. I am nowhere near a hilltop, so I will just shout from my tiny little platform here on myLot. I went to Ruler Foods yesterday, shopping list in hand, and one of the items on my list was milk. We use 2% if you were curious. As per the usual, I put a gallon in my cart, and thought the price was actually fair at $2.09 a gallon. But before I stepped away, something caught my eye—reduced sitckers on some bottles. I glanced up and saw they had half gallons on sale for 56 cents, and they weren't expired, but simply nearing expiration. They would have a sell by date of October 27th. That's plenty of time to use a half gallon of milk, for sure. And the price would drop the per gallon cost down to $1.12. I should have bought two, but I only picked up one even if I rarely buy half gallons. So, as per unit costs, I essentially saved 97 cents. I thought that was an awesome deal. What do you think?
