   The budget end of Metro, Food Basics in London $3.19 for Beatrice Half &   
   Half 10%, purchased on Sunday.   
      
   My local Convenience store has it for $3.89 and it has been that price   
   for 6 months or so.  Probably a good yardstick as a low volume steady   
   price seller.  The big boys are playing volume and juggling games over   
   various products.   
      
   Have you read the label and checked out what is in the so called "cream"   
   these days? Not quite the same stuff that used to get scooped off the   
   top of the cow milk.  At least there is no melamine...yet.
