$3.49 per gallon at Kroger's. Not bad.

Here in California, a gallon of milk cost me $1.58, but that's at Grocery Outlet, not a Kroger owned store like Albertsons

Jesus Christ. Over here it would cost the equivalent of 4$

Wish ours was this cheap

California has so many people there are a couple places that specialize in buying up all the stuff that is about to go out of date, and slashing the prices so they sell before the sell by date. That's the only reason. Also you go there first before Aldi's, cause you don't know what they'll have. They always have milk, bread, eggs, tortillas, and lots of other stuff, but the other stuff is random.

Ohhh so it's like a food bank over here. Unfortunately you need a card to be eligible to purchase from a food bank but they function on nearly the same principle.

No, it's a normal store. There's just so much food that would otherwise go to the food banks that it's profitable to slash the prices and sell it off this way.

If it doesn't sell at grocery outlet, then it will go to the food bank.

I've been paying about $6 per gallon for organic milk since Obama was in office, and I have no regrets about it because normal milk goes bad in about a week and the organic milk stays fresh until the last drop is gone.
