Sainsburys free Milk

Pop into any Sainsburys on Friday 16 May and they will give you a free pint of their orange label 1% fat milk or a coupon to claim if stocks are depleted. Basically 1% fat milk has less fat then semi-skimmed, but does not taste as "watery" as skimmed milk. May as well give it a try if its free.

On 30th April, Sainsburys became first supermarket to sell own brand 1% fat milk. It contains 40% less saturated fat than semi skimmed. The good news is, in taste tests 2 out of 3 people couldnt tell the difference. All of which adds up to us being 100% confident youll like it.:j

    Full fat milk is only 4% fat anyway. Any other product with that percentage would be sold as low fat!

    I have been buying the 1% at 5p a pint as no one wants to buy it my locals.

    So have been buying it on reduced to clear and freezing it.

    And sainsburys have re-labed all there milk so it is now 1%, 2% etc.

    I paid 15p a pint last night for it. It's been reduced every night this week when I go in and it's just been in the last week or so that my local Sainsbury has had it in stock.

    I will def. try it out. Although this link seems to show that they are giving it free all weekend, I hope they are as I can't get there on Friday.
