MIlk


        I was never a big milk drinker, but because I now make yogurt, I go through a lot of milk. I use one and a half gallons in a batch of yogurt, and easily a half gallon or more for cereal and such. More than a year ago, I discovered that milk at National Wholesale Liquidators was $2.50. That was pretty awesome because it was around $4.00 in other stores. Last Wednesday, I was in NWL to get milk, but they had none, so I decided I would go back on Saturday night when I actually planned to make yogurt. But alas, it was not meant to be. As I approached the parking lot on Saturday night, things looked unusual. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot. Then I saw a large sign that said, “Everything is 20-60% off.” A bit more unusual and suspicious. I parked and started walking towards the doors, and then I saw the sign that said, “Store Closing.” I ended getting milk from another nearby grocery store, but this, unfortunately, will be the end of cheap milk for me.
