Wow! CVS is another good place for deals. Milk is not cheap, but they often have it on sale for $2.69-$3.89, while is less than my local grocery store. I've been getting $5 off of $25 coupons there. And combining their sale and that coupon, I've been thrilled at stocking up on a week's worth of a staple for a relatively inexpensive price. (That said, I have four boys and we drink lots of milk! This sort of deal probably wouldn't benefit you as much. . .)
