The extra $2 that you saved on the $4.50 you were willing to pay for it represents consumer surplus. Consumer surplus is the difference between the total amount that a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service versus what they actually pay for the good or service. The $2 represents what the consumer was willing to pay for the milk.
