Reply to: New pint of milk

[DaveB]

I often hear people moaning about the price of basic foodstuffs like milk, butter, flour, white truffles, sliced bread etc and I have no idea what they're complaining about. Even though I regularly do the shopping I have no idea what these things cost. It's what keeps me contracting in IT; the fear that if I did some other kind of work I might have to take note of the prices of things before buying them.

During my bench time last year we stopped and looked at what we were spending and it was scary. Well over £100 on the food shopping every week for thrree of us. We cut that down by almost half and kept it that way even after I was back in work.

Lots of other stuff we were spending money on where we didnt really need to or could get the same for less. Ended up saving almost £500 a month just by cutting out the wastage.

My milk comes in pints and is delivered three mornings a week. I have no idea how much it costs

You can get it for free off my elderly neighbours doorstep at 3.00AM - cos that is the time the b*s*ard 2 jobs milkman makes the drop and wakes the whole street up - just because the old boy wont move with the times and download it off the internet like the rest of us.

I love shopping for milk. So much more fun than shopping for shoes or handbags.

As Mich said, buy from a farm shop as they don't cream too much off the top.

Is the litre the new pint this season?

Can you put that in writing for when I go to the pub, please?

[Mich the Tester]

Buy it at your local farm shop. Farmers are being driven to the wall by supermarkets who pay less than cost price for milk.

p.s I've been quoted a quid by a tramp outside the off-licence but as he stank of p!ss and had no teeth I was unsure whether to trust him.

Jersey Gold Top or human lacto...

Sainsburies have introduced a new colour milk - not the mil itself, but the label.

Blue for full fat
, green for semi skimmed
, red for skimmed
....then there's this new wierd orange tulipe.

What's that about?!!

Sunderland thing? *ducks for cover...*

They used to have orange in Canada, it was 1% I think.... so maybe "more semi-skimmed but not quite white water (yuk!)"

What's got into you lot today?

Err, it's the same as everywhere else except for orange.

Orange is probably homogenised full fat.
