Small UHT milk carton hunt.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a box of those little UHT milk cartons like the ones they use in cafes?.

    They have them on the approved food website atm. Recommended website on these forums selling short dated and after 'best before' foodstuffs

    59p for a whole carton, superb. Wonder if they will keep til end of August?. My spouse & son are off to Euro-Disney and their hotel doesn't provide drinks so will be taking their own.

    Actually, at that price I might order 10 and sell 9 on Ebay as they go for £5.00 + P&P.

  • We get 200 dairystix for £5 at our ASDA but not all stock them. They are a lot more compact than the pots and the last we got were dated June 10.

    Damn, have ordered the ones from AF, still, I should make a profit by re-selling them & ordering the 'Dairystix' from Garraways instead. At least I can order closer to the departure date so will have a longer shelf life.

    Thanks everyone.

    EDIT
    10 boxes of milk now up on Ebay. Not too worried if they don't sell, can always use them at home.

    They also have those dairy sticks (semi skimmed milk in 20ml portions) in my local Tescos with the UHT milk.

    Could I ask how your sale went on Ebay? Did you sell your cartons? I was thinking of selling some too but wondered if the expired best by date had caused any problems. Many thanks :)
