Milkonomics

I stopped in to a tiny little convenience store I've never shopped at before to get a carton of milk. It cost $3.89 for 2L.

At Dominion, the cheapest 2L carton is $4.00, and at every other store I've ever bought milk at it's even more expensive.

How can the tiniest convenience store in the neighbourhood manage to undersell a large supermarket?

Some convenience stores actually advertise that they have milk for $....like, "Shop here! Are milk is cheaper!" So I guess grocery stores mark up the prices or something. OR, convenience stores are shadey and use milk from shadey cows that gets put in regular milk bags and cartons! :)
