2. Supermarkets are desperate

I'm deluged with emails from one that I visit twice a year, and another that I never heard from until late December. The latter has about double the volume of closeouts (similar to the OP) now.

Last week I bought whipping cream. $2.55 a quart at ALDI. WMT was $2.93 a pint. That got my attention.

All prices believed to be accurate at that time and this time. YMMV based on location.
