Does anyone know where i can buy condensed milk for less than £1.20 a tin (sainsburys) as I use quite a lot in baking. Does anyone apart from carnation make it?

    I've got a recipe to make it if you ask nicely.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    I've never seen supermarket branded C.M.
    Fussel's brand is often cheapest and I usually buy a few tins if I see it on special offer.
    Haven't seen it for a while though.
    Looks like you might have to pay the £1.20 !
    Perhaps thats why you have had lots of view and no replies - we all wanted to know where to get it cheaper!

    No, sorry! Looked at Tesco online and it's the same price, same brand.

    Possibly Sunday evening isn't the best time to ask - not many people off to the shops atm ;)

    Here's the recipe to try, it's simple to make and a good substitution.

    Sweetened Condensed Milk
    180ml boiling water
    85g unsalted butter (not marge)
    200g caster sugar
    320g powdered milk

    Combine all ingredients in electric blender until thick- approx 2 minutes.

    Store in refrigerator.
