Now just personally my choices if I need milk on the way home are... 1. Stop at convenience store and pay $7.50-$9.00 for 4L milk, maybe get stuck behind 2-3 customers, each transaction slow and painful. Or 2. Stop at safeway, walk to their milk fridge, pay $5.75 for the same milk, and walk right up to a self check out and be out most times quicker than the convenience store.
Yep. This is a very good point.
