    OK all you deal finders & frugal shoppers

    - - WHO has the BEST prices on 1 gal of MILK? Every day prices, not specials, not coupons, not Milk tickets or any other tricks.

    I have found that the Scotchman gas station at 40/210 has 2% for $3.05 with TAX. They have gal's of whole milk and 2% not always skim & 1%.

    Please post your deals!

    My husband always gets our milk from Whole Foods (the 365 brand). He buys 2 gallons at a time and WITH tax it is $7.12. Not too bad for milk that is free of the yucky stuff! :wink:

    Sam's Club is $2.70 to $2.85, depending on what type you buy.

    Usually I just pick it up where ever I am but I've noticed that BJs is always 2.80something (last time I was there). So if I'm in that area and need it I stop in.

    Note: I'm not a couponer yet so my sense of bargain shopping hasn't really kicked in :lol:

    FMO2 swears by Walgreens. Says they are cheaper than anyone.
    I still get mine at LF ~ I have no idea how much it is I think $2.99/gal :?

    You really were listening , HG! :lol: :wink:

    I don't have a BJ's membership, so for me the Walgreens milk (Pet brand) is a great buy when it is on sale for $2.79/gallon. I do the monthly rebates there and make an extra 10% on my rebate amount because I have the rebate $$ put back on my Walgreen's card. Because of this, I get the equivalent to a free gallon of milk a month at Walgreens.

    I also buy milk from Lowe's Foods in Clayton when they mark it down. Usually 2-3 days before expiration they cut the price in half. I buy it and then freeze it before expiration date.

    All we drink is skim milk....I buy it at whichever store I am in...Store brand is cheaper and just as good (I don't know about other than skim).

    fl= Food Lion??

    If so, you better double-check the price- it's been ~$3.89 lately for a gallon at both 210 and 42 Food Lion stores....

    At Food Lion today 1% MILK "FL" Brand was $3.69.

    Not a great deal but less than the last time I checked.

    If memory serves, it is $3.48 at Wal-mart every day, at Sam's I think it is $2.89. Usually either Walgreens or Kroger runs it on sale, I have never seen it on sale at Lowes or Food Lion since I started couponing in Feb.

    Han-dee Hugo's has it for around $3. it used to be $2.99 but now I think it's 3.05 or 3.15

    My neighbor says they have milk for cheap on Friday's at Lowe's but I haven't ran into. They did have all the ripe bananas out for cheap on a Friday, though.

    I was thinking the same thing too. I never buy milk at food lion. As a matter of fact i don't buy too much of anything at food lion. Edwards IGA is where I shop.

    Just so you know, the Scotchman just went up on their milk to 3.49 and a friend said the clerk told her it was going up more yesterday. So, I don't think they will be the best place anymore. BJ's is usually cheap and Aldi in Fuquay was 3.39 I think.
