   And how much is that?   
      
   The stores are A&P and Loblaws (location = SW Ontario - west of   
   Toronto).   
      
   Loblaws (aka Zehrs in Windsor) sells Neilson "TruTaste"   
   A&P sells Beatrice   
      
   Offhand I don't remember the price difference between 5% and 10% at   
   A&P, but at Loblaws it's $1 more expensive for the 5% version (doesn't   
   make sense - it has less milk fat, yet they charge more for it?)
