I absolutely refuse to shop at Wal Mart for various reasons. The best place I have found to buy dairy products is from a local dairy chain here in Oregon called Dairy Mart. They are sort of like a 7-11 type store, but they are run by a local dairy and carry only fresh, local dairy products. Most everything is WAY cheaper there, fresher, and better quality. Even if price crept up, I would keep paying it because the cream is so much fresher and better tasting. Check around for a local dairy marketer in your area.
