    I don't mean to be rude but we buy this milk anyway so this ends up being a really great free reward for us. We have 2 kids under 5 who both want one and know he's on his way now. For us, there was more than enough time to save for 2 packs using bought and universal codes and that includes getting annoyed at our local shops running short because people had selfishly removed labels instead of buying it. I might be wrong but I'm sure shops need to dispose of milk products that have no labels so what a waste. For anyone with kids under 4 who don't work or claim certain benefits, you could use your Healthy start vouchers but I'm really surprised that people who seem to have young kids (who should still be thriving off the white stuff) are having a problem saving enough tokens anyway. Just a thought but it surprises me that people are still saying they only need 6 tokens etc. I think the people who have offered their spare codes are brilliant and if I have any spare in the next few days I'll offer them on here too.
    I know most of the people asking will be honest and just don't need to use as much milk as others but I really hope the people asking for free codes simply want one cause they're nice toys and not just so they can sell them elsewhere.

    I understand where you are coming from and I am taken back that people could go so low as taking labels from the bottles in the shop. We personally are a family of 3. 2 adults and 1 x 10 year old. My husband has 2 cups of tea in the morning before going to work and DD has bowl of cereal...that is mainly all the milk we use. I have been forcing myself over the last few weeks to eat cereals (I normally have a sandwich in morning) and made some Belgian breadpuddings (different to the British ones). DD and myself are having ommellettes for lunch just so we can use some more milk...it's nearly an obsession to use as much milk as we can. We have 2 x 2l Cravendale in fridge (full ones) with an expiry date of the 26th of April and we are half way through one with expiry date of the 10th of April... it's been a real struggle and we have had to pour milk away which seems such a waste and really when you think of it...how daft, all for a kermit backpack!!

    We have 4 more codes to go and I probably will end up buying more milk this weekend as we're so close now and DD has her heart set on this backpack...and like a lot of parents, I don't want her to be disappointed....the soft touch parent I am.

    I think it is on offer at the CO-OP for £1.25 at the moment(at least it was showing that in the photo I was sent, and the photo was taken last night).

    Isn't that where the phrase 'tough !!!!!!' comes into play then? :rotfl: No Kermit for you. :rotfl:

    I appreciate your honesty but I kinda feel that why should I send you codes I got because I've spent my money on getting milk when you have no intention of spending your own money?

    I get the student thing, but I'm up to my eyes in debt so it's quits as far as I'm concerned. :D

    I'm happy to help folk but some of you are just taking the p!ss. :rotfl:

    Only imo though, of course. :D

    I daresay there's less cynical people than I on the boards though so you may well find someone else is happy to send you codes. I wish you luck anyway. :D:beer: (That is genuinely meant btw.)

    awwh bless....and yeah tearing the label is low and it is a shame....i resorted to here but theres way too many people wanting labels and i dont manage to get them as theyre gone in seconds....good luck with it all anyway and if you do end up buying more milk, it may be worth freezing it so you dont have to pour it down...you can use em as you need em...:)

    Freeze it. Cravendale, (as other milk), freezes well.
