Best priced milk (4 pint)

fatboy77

Am I right in assuming I'm NOT going to find 4 pints of milk (either branded or store's own) for cheaper than £1.00?

ASDA do 2 x 4pts for £2.00 (£1.18 each). The offer is printed on the labels, so should be safe from their usual "yo-yo" pricing.

You may, but I've never seen it cheaper than £1.00 (Lidl and Aldi)

I know this is a money saving site but this quest for the cheapest in everything is causing major problems for Farmers.

Cheap milk if sold as a loss leader by a Supermarket is fine as long as a fair price has been paid in the first place but if Farmers continue to receive a price less than the cost of production it can only lead to much higher prices in future as they go out of business.

I would rather pay 10 or 20p more at the present if it ensured long term stable prices.

Iceland is £1 for 4pts. Aldi is 80-something but that is 2litres rather than 4pts so works out about the same per pt..

I agree,i saw a farmer the other day on tv saying they receive 14p per pint and they make a loss,i would willingly pay a bit more to keep the farming(dairy) industry going

Farmfoods are £1 each or two for £1.80

I switched to organic which is more expensive so I use less of it.

And what happens when it spreads to other food items? Should we really offer to pay more so that farmers can be rich again?
