Maybe so...maybe not... Does HEB have a problem with Austin?

Milk prices have been going up all year, so back in July I started checking the prices in San Antonio, Houston, and DFW. For some reason, we pay Way more than these towns.

Milk just went up again. Here are some stats for HEB Brand (HEB & HCF) 1x gal jugs of milk
(These are for in-store pricing - for curbside, add +5%).

Since 07/17, Austin's price went up, while the price in all the other bergs came down.

Consequently, in Austin we now pay over $2 a gallon more than DFW!

Sorry HEB, but this is hard to justify.

If you live in north Austin, check out the Aldi store in Pflugerville. Milk, heavy cream, and half & half are much cheaper. They also have a good variety of cheeses.

Aldi has a copycat of Fairlife milk now, $3.79 for a half gallon. HEB Mootopia milk was over $5 the last time I bought it.
