The Dairy Board

Published by Toronto Mike on November 2, 2007 @ 19:15 in Family

FamilyThe following exchange is real. It took place between my wife and I about 90 minutes ago.

Me: I'm still upset about that $1.99 milk.
Me: I'm pretty sure that price is illegal. Remember, I worked five years in the grocery business. I know a thing or two about dairy.
Taryn: The 4 litre bags of 2% milk are $1.99 there. Helen always gets her milk there.
Me: I was so upset, I called the Dairy Board today to complain.
Taryn: Why'd you do that? Now we won't be able to get $1.99 milk!

I actually didn't call the Dairy Board to complain about Shoppers Drug Mart on The Queensway selling 4 litre bags of 2% milk for $1.99 and Taryn can't believe she actually believed me.

I still think it's illegal to sell milk at that price...

I wish more people broke that law. It's like $3.99 in Ottawa. And methinks that's if you can find it on sale.

Until I saw the receipt confirming Taryn paid $1.99, the cheapest I had ever paid for 4 litres of 2% was $2.99. Normally it's about $3.99.
