Sometimes they do Meadowfresh as well, and sometimes they have cheap butter. My household goes there just for milk lol.
Butter was $5 a block but countdown had them at the same price.
Grocer tells me Cowgate is $3 for 2L, compared to $3.70 for the countdown branded milk. The $2 a week we'd save is a drop in the bucket compared to our total spend, not really worth the special trip for us, even if I liked it. We'd have to drink a lot more milk.
Yeah butter is only good on special, they have had $4 specials in the past and you can freeze it. Bit of a treat food. I tend to go through a lot of milk and cheese though because it's still much cheaper than meat.
I guess it's all relative. $2p/w = $54 p/y. Whether that's an attractive savings depends.
It's not worth it if I don't like the milk 😆
I'd like to keep buying some groceries there though, even if it's only to try to help break the duopoly.
Hahaha I'm not telling you to buy it, more explaining why I do that. Sorry!
I really hope it does help break the duopoly, I really don't like it. Reduced To Clear are good but you can't really bank on getting any specific thing there.
