Morrison's milk price hike

The Morrisons in my town has today proven to be the most expensive supermarket. Will be avoiding it for the foreseeable future.

I always buy the milk in bulk on offer and then freeze it!
Or I opt for cravendale as lots of places have it on 2 for £3 and it always has a really lond sell by date on it.

For months, I have been able to buy two 4-pint bottles of semi-skimmed milk at Morrison's for £2.00. Today, without warning, the special offer has been withdrawn and now I am being charged £2.98 for two 4-pint bottles. This is almost a 50% price increase overnight!

Is this a national decision by Morrison's, or does it just apply to my local store (Tewkesbury)?

Where is the cheapest place to buy fresh milk now?
:mad:

dam i wondered what that sign was i forgot to put up in the store, wondered if it said "warning milk is going to go up in price tomorrow, buy now "

did you expect a warning from the store ? stores hardly get any notice on any price changes, first time they know is when they put the new prices out.

The Scottish Tesco's I use have a 2 litre (not quite 4 pints) semi skimmed "Fresh n Lo" at 89p, not sure if that applies all over UK though.

Asda have this purple top 1% milk from Arla Foods at 87p for 2 Litres which is as good as 4 pints cos a pint is about 500 ml (well 568ml to be exact!!). This milk is best! We buy from there all the time!

The big supermarkets sell milk as a 'loss leader' to entice you into their stores The farmers can't produce milk at those sorts of prices and are being put out of business by them The supermarkets arn't daft they know that families need milk and the chances are if you go in to buy cheap milk you will buy something else that they have scaled up to cover their costs with.They are on a win-win situation and the consumer falls for it time and time again.

I buy value/basic etc. skimmed UHF milk in litre cartons for 52P (they were 49p recently)

Does me well and no worry about overstocking or spoiling those unopened
