    We get through 20 plus pints of milk a week. Mainly my DS3 (15) who drinks pints in one sitting. No way will he have weak bones when he is older! Milk is a good source of nutrients so why are you worried about your intake?
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Is all the milk you use for drinking? If I'm low on fresh milk, I use dried for making into cheese sauce, bechamel, etc :)

    There's a thread here on milk economics and another on reducing spend on milk.

    I'll add this to the second link later :)

    I usually get through 8 pints - luckily I buy it from farm Foods.. 2 x 4 pints for £150

    Crikey - that's dear - I'd try Tesco :rotfl:

    exlibris, PP was being funny ... OP meant £1.50 but typed £150. Which is definitely more expensive than Harrods, let alone Tesco.

    Move to black coffee and tea, lower calorie and no need to buy milk. You soon get used to it too!
