North Texas is in a Milk Price War – Cash In Now!
Have you been to the grocery store in the past four days? If not, you may be pleasantly surprised the next time you go to buy milk. Some grocery stores in
The Aldi grocery chain started the price war this past weekend by reducing its already low price of $1.29 to $.99 cents. The reduction in price was an attempt to get more people into Aldi stores to so they could realize the savings on other items. But it didn’t take long for competing grocery stores to follow suit.
On Monday, area Albertsons and Tom Thumb stores lowered their prices to $1.68. Kroger, Target and Wal-Mart matched the Aldi price. Aldi responded by lowering milk prices again to $.90 cents per gallon. You can barely get one cup of plain coffee for that price anymore, let alone an entire gallon of milk.
Here’s something else most people don’t know about Aldi milk. It has a store brand label on it, but it’s really Borden milk being sold under the Aldi name. That makes the value even better, because Borden milk is one of the most expensive brands of milk on the shelf.
Aldi plans to leave its milk prices below $1 for at least a few weeks, so you have a little bit of time to cash in on this great deal. Keep in mind, though, that many others will be cashing in as well, and supply may not always meet the high demand.
If you family drinks several gallons of milk a week, buy them all at one time. Just be aware of the expiration dates. Aldi, like most grocery stores, puts its gallons of milk with the longest expiration period at the back of the shelf. If you can’t reach the gallon you want, ask the employees to reach it for you. That’s their job, and this deal is too good to pass up.
