Small milk cartons

Anyone have any idea where I can get small milk cartons with straws, tried Sainsburys, Tesco, holland & barratt. Found small soya, oat & rice cartons but no plain cows milk.

    I am sure I've seen them in the co-op. Failing that how about somewhere like lidl?? They seem to do different things!

    My DS has the little cartons at school, but I'm pretty sure they're delivered by a food company!?

    School milk comes in cartons. Maybe try a milkman/dairy?
  • Milk and more sell them , milkman delivery service you can set up online , I get them every day for my 5 yr old DD to take to school for pack lunch

    Thomas came home after 3 months and 2 days in hospital weighing 5lb 15ozs

  • I;ve just come back from Morrisons and there was some small plastic bottles of milk for 29p in the chillers, full fat and semi skimmed

    None with straws, but Wiseman do 200ml or 250ml cartons, available in our local Tesco.

    If it's for packed lunch have you checked the school allows milk - ours does not allow them to bring small cartons of milk but still allow yoghurt - their reason is the milk might burst and go everywhere ( and the yoghurt won't?)

  • There is no way a school could enforce this policy. They might be wording it as though they can, but they cannot remove things from a child's lunch.

    school policies vary but i can understand some removing chocolate and crisps i know a few that do but not milk especially since it is a healthy drink

  • While you may understand it and so do I, (I never pack junk in my child's lunch) schools CANNOT remove food from a child's lunch. I have seen children who have just yoghurt and chocolate bars for their lunch even though their parents has agreed to the school healthy eating policy. The school is not allowed to prevent the child from eating that or remove it.
