It's $2.72 USD, which is $3.52 CAD, which is 47% more expensive than it is at somewhere like Superstore in Canada.

For milk, a gallon of Great Value 2% milk at Walmart in California is $3.60 USD ($4.93 CAD for 4L), in Seattle it's $3.74 ($5.12 for 4L), and in Mississippi it's $4.12 ($5.63 CAD for $4L). The equivalent is $5.19 CAD in Vancouver.

Eggs are pretty significantly cheaper in Seattle compared to Mississippi as well. They're about $0.17-0.20 per egg for standard eggs at Walmart in Mississippi vs. $0.12-0.15 per egg in Seattle.
Who buys Wonder Bread?? Store brand white bread at our upscale Wegman's in VA is 99 cents. I don't know if this link works outside our area. https://shop.wegmans.com/search?sear...ocomplete=true

Store brand 2% milk here is $3.31 per gallon, and under $3 for non fat or 1%
