Tesco milk - huge price hike!

MRSTITTLEMOUSE

I'm another who stopped buying milk from the supermarkets,around two years ago actually.
I get mine from my local shop 2 ltres for 75p also doing this has saved me a fortune as I don't waste money picking up things I realy did'nt need when I used to just go in to Tesco ect for milk.
Supermarkets and milk equates to daylight robbery as far as I'm concerned.

I get mine from farmfoods. 2 bottles for £1.50 and 2 loaves of hovis for £1, lasts us a week and saves us a fortune compared to previously paying £1.50 odd for just one bottle! Also I buy my bread yellow stickered when available from the supermarkets and freeze it. Used to easily spend between £5-10 per week on bread and milk and now it's just £2.50, if that.
Also as there's never much else at Farmfoods that takes my fancy, I don't spend extra on stuff I don't need.

The Creamfields 2 litre was 50p for ages, then went up to 75, now 87p. I can't complain as the 50p price was unsustainable, really.

It was on promotion at 50p & 75p. Its back up at normal price but will be back on promo before long. It usually is!

I always thought you couldn't freeze milk, am I wrong?

Yes, you can freeze milk. I do it all the time, buy a 4 pint bottle and decant 3 pints into 3 x 1 pint bottles and freeze them.

Wow milk prices vary with the season who would have thought cows don't make as much when the summer is over? :eek:

I actually complained instore today about this very price hike and they said they would flag it with HQ as it did seem extreme. I object to this type of price hike as there does not seem to be an obvious reason for it. But I do feel for the farmers the way the supermarkets squeeze them. But then as a consumer I have to buy what I can justifiably afford. *Opens minefield*

you don't want to be putting cows in a mine field. Unless you want them to jump 200 feet in the air and then disperse over a wide area?

*serious point acknowledged and agreed with*

Judging from the bull I encountered today I don't want to be doing anything with cows at all!!!
