I'm a milk control. I want 1~2 bottles of milk every day. Generally, I choose between Mengniu and Yili. As for the milk category, I don't pay much attention to it. I can drink either one casually, but I keep drinking it every day.
In the early days, a case of milk was packed in 24 bottles, but now there is a new package 16 bottles, so that when merchants do activities, they sometimes offer 16 bottles and sometimes 24 bottles. In this way, when we buy, it is still difficult to compare if we still calculate by the case, and sometimes we add some activities of two boxes discount or several boxes discount, as well as some shopping allowances, which will easily be confused by the activities of merchants. In this way, it is easy for us to mistake the feeling of price difference for cheap when we see the price, but it is not necessarily true. I suggest that you must calculate the price of a bottle when you buy it, so it may be more troublesome to calculate the price of a single bottle, but at least you can step on fewer pits.
I have stockpiled milk five times this year, with a total of ***490 bottles. The total cost is 1 108.8 1 yuan, which is an average of 2.26 yuan per bottle a year, but in fact, the price fluctuates every time, only at the lowest time/kloc.
A year's milk purchase record
The normal price is that pure milk is cheaper, and high calcium and low fat or skim milk will be more expensive. However, if you pay attention to the activities of merchants, you can also buy high-calcium low-fat or skim milk which is cheaper than pure milk. For example, the following picture is a comparison between the two types of milk after my double 1 1 screening calculation. On the left, a bottle of high-calcium and low-fat milk from Mengniu is only 1.92 yuan, while a bottle of pure milk from Yili is 2.49 yuan, which is worse than that from 0.5 yuan, so that a bottle of high-calcium and low-fat milk is much cheaper than pure milk.
Milk belongs to daily consumables, so buying it when there are activities can really save a lot of money. Generally, you can start to prepare goods half a month in advance, and buy it when it is cheaper. The shelf life of milk is 6 months, and milk is produced in batches. If it can't be sold after production, businesses will be more worried. Moreover, there are so many competitive pressures and various activities now. When we hoard milk, we usually hoard a quantity of 1~2 months. If we hoard too much milk, it will be wasted if we can't finish drinking it. After the milk expires, the nutritional value will be reduced, and bacteria may breed, which may cause discomfort after drinking, so don't drink expired milk! Moreover, the milk we usually buy is not produced before placing an order, but is produced in advance by the merchants. Generally, it will be produced within one month when buying, so don't hoard too long goods.
The same milk is sometimes more expensive in the flagship store than in some other online stores, but it is not recommended to buy it in the online store. The flagship store is the first-hand goods in the general warehouse. Generally, the goods in the online store are registered in some convenience stores, and it takes multiple transfers to get to the online store warehouse. After many twists and turns, the shelf life of the goods in the online store is definitely not as fresh as that of the flagship official store. Food can't be bought casually, so I suggest you buy it at the flagship official store.
I specially investigated the prices of offline shopping malls and grocery stores, which are usually a bottle of 3~3.5 yuan. Whenever you buy online, most of them are cheaper than offline, and now express delivery is so convenient that there is a home delivery service. Online purchase is more convenient and economical than offline purchase. We suggest that when buying milk, don't buy it if the single bottle is more than 2.5 yuan. You can wait for a cheaper price, which is cheaper than 2.5 yuan most of the time.
The activity of double 1 1 is only once a year, but our daily shopping is more than once a year. We can compare it by calculating the unit price when buying. We can spend more time calculating when buying, and we can double 1 1 every day!
