Where are the best milk prices in YOUR area?

March 7, 2011 by Kimberly Danger 25 Comments

Do you keep track of milk prices at your local grocery stores? If you do, you may find that there is a huge difference in price depending on where you shop. You may be surprised at where the best milk prices really are.  You can learn more tips and tricks for tracking prices here: How to Create a Grocery Price Book

I recently compared the cost of a one-gallon jug of skim milk in my area. Usually the lowest prices can be found at Sam's Club, aldi, and a regional chain convenience store called Kwik Trip. Where do YOU think the lowest price on milk was? Scroll down to find out.

Milk Prices:

aldi milk price comparison
Skim Milk at Aldi: $2.49/Gallon
sam's club milk price
Skim Milk at Sam's Club: $2.15/Gallon
Skim Milk at Kwik Trip: $2.19/Gallon or $1.98/Gallon (Bagged)

It may come as a surprise to many of you, but milk was the least expensive at the convenience store. Kwik Trip's bagged milk was just $1.98 per gallon.

UPDATE!  Come discuss current milk prices on our Facebook Page here: How much does a gallon of milk cost in your area?

    Aldi’s is the cheapest in my area at $1.89 for skim. Wal-mart is $2.35 at least. Use to buy 6 gallons at a time at Costco until I kept getting one to two gallons that were literally spoiled w/ each purchase.

    If you use a Kwik Trip debit or credit card you’ll also get a percentage back! Buying milk and bananas with a Kwik Trip card usually gives us the best prices for these items. Plus, sometimes eggs and butter are good deals, too!

    $1.98 with Pick N Save (Copps/Rainbow Foods… Midwest chain) in ad coupon sometimes, regularly skim is $2.23. Also use a coupon for FREE milk from the previous week’s purchase of cereal/crackers/whatnot. My store does take $3 off my $1.98/$2.23 of milk so I “make” a dollar/77 cents:) I have friends who drink the bagged milk. It would just be messy having to pour into a jug or use the pitcher with it open in the fridge.

      buy it when it is on sale. pour out about 1/2 cup into another container and then freeze. it will last in freezer for a long time. set it in your refrigerator about 3 days before you need to use it. i have done this for years. I buy 8-10 gallons at a time. This is for a 2 member family. i love milk. cvs and walgreens usually have a sale on opposite weeks. sam’s is a good place, too.

    Given that milk is such a staple and the huge fluctuations in price locally everywhere, there should be a mobile app for tracking prices, like there are for gasoline prices. I use Gas Buddy on my mobile phone all the time. Anybody know someone who develops mobile apps?

Why not make it a practice to express gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving?  What we focus on expands.  It's so easy to see all the negativity in the world, especially online. Is anyone interested in joining me for a daily gratitude photo challenge?  If we focus on the little things that we are grateful for, our whole world changes.
