$4 for 2L milk!

July 15th, 2009 at 03:37 am

So, I have been doing especially well with this 'only shopping once a week' thing. I mean, I always *tried* to do it, tried being the key word. Before, the shop was literally two minutes drive away, and it was JUST a supermarket. Now, it's about 7 minutes drive and it's a shopping complex. It makes me feel tired just thinking about it. I can feel my personal space being invaded already Big Grin. I think I just can't be bothered going to the store more than I have to, it takes time and energy and I would rather be doing other things.

However, due to cold nights and cravings for hot chocolate, I had to get some milk earlier than usual. I decided to walk down to the corner store. I knew it would be expensive (at our work it is $3.60 for 2 L - compared to under $3 at the supermarket). But $4.00! What a joke!

Anyway. To further the idiocy of going to the corner store, I impulse bought a packet of gourmet double chocolate biscuits (well, you guys call them 'cookies'). $6.95! What the HELL was I thinking. Clearly, there was no thinking involved.

If it makes it any better, they were nice biscuits...? And there's half a packet left? But I've decided to make them from now on. I just need a good biscuit recipe. (as in, cookie recipe). Anyone? I tried making some a few weeks ago but they were too crumbly. DF ended up mixing them with icecream and I didn't eat any (I like one with my tea).

    I call them biscuits too. Seriously it's just amazing how the prices vary depending on what store you go to!

    Around here, the milk at the convenience stores is cheaper than the grocery stores! It makes no sense!

    I was going to say the same thing as north georgia gal - cheaper milk at the convenience stores. I think a lot of people aren't aware of this and they just buy it at the grocery stores.

    Around my hood, organic milk is cheaper at a health food store than at a regular grocery store! Not just cheaper, way... cheaper.
