Summer Ice Cream: Where Do You Buy It Around Fair Oaks & Carmichael?
Memorial Day is past. The temperatures are heating up and summer time is almost here.
One of the luxuries of summer is ice cream, whether it's on a cone, in a cup or from a half-gallon container.
Ice cream is a little more expensive than it was a few months ago. Prices rose 0.3 percent in April, but they're 0.6 percent less than a year ago. The average price for a half-gallon is about $5.10 nationwide.
Still, some companies are trying to lure customers with new flavors and discounts.
Burger King is offering ice cream cones for 50 cents between now and Aug. 5. Sonic Drive-In is offering their milkshakes, all 25 flavors, half off after 8 p.m. Know of any other ice cream deals? Share them in the comment section below.
