Oatly 1L £1 in Sainsburys

Debt_free_soon_2

As the tile shows Oatly and Oatly organic 1L are £1 in Sainsburys normally £1.39 so a good saving on 'milk'

Why it's not free to those with a dairy allergy is beyond me, anyway off to put my stash away!

You obviously have no idea how much more expensive dairy free products are, ensuring a pre schooler gets enough calcium to ensure their development is not easy or cheap!


Coeliacs get free prescriptions, what is the different between a wheat & a dairy allergy? Why are they more needy? I am happy to buy my son dairy free milk & all the alternative products he has to have, I just don't see why they have to be 3-4 times more expensive than 'normal' products.


Is there any need to be such a clever @rse when you obviously haven't got a clue what you are talking about!

point taken ..:)

Rice Dream is very nice. You can get 6 cartons for around £7 on amazon so around the same price of milk. It does not contain any calcium though. Although calcium is overated, and used in marketing alot to convince you children need it. There have studied to prove otherwise.

Rice milk is not safe for under 5's according to my sons dietician, she is also concerned about his calcium levels so will be sticking with the fortified stuff. Especially as this is when his little bones & teeth are developing so quickly, and he can't get calcium from yoghurts or cheese obviouly! But thanks for finding it anyway! :-)


Will be stocking up on the offer as never known it be on offer before!

okay no probs. The dietician is probably right as rice milk and rice products contain tiny amounts of arsenic (poison) that can be unsafe for children.

I have tried all the dairy alternatives. Oatly I don't really like the taste of.

Who knew!? Certainly not me before the learning curve we embarked on in the last year or so. I think it's the sheer quantity they drink in relation to their size & weight.

If you have access to Costco they have organic soya milk 1L UHT in 12 packs, I think it works out less than £1 per litre. No idea what it's like, as my poor lamb is also soya free :-(


Someone could make a killing doing kiddy friendly free from stuff. There is a huge gap in the market.


I'm not keen either, it just tastes too sweet to me.


Does it not make you frustrated that if you were a ceoliac you'd get your special food items on a prescription, whereas other food allergy sufferers don't get the same? We're talking allergy not intolerance. Just wondered your opinion? :-)

I thought I was allergic to dairy but it turned out to be grains that were causing bother (wheat, oats) so have cut out morning cereal. I am intolerant to them, give me itchy skin, don't know if its an allergy (what is the difference to an intolerance/allergy?)

I have tried soya milk but don't really like the taste.

You could try almond milk which sounds nice but its so expensive (amazon do it and its around £2.50 per litre). Oatly is probably the best option you have although...

Tesco also do hazelnut and almond milk and so do "Alpro" and Kara do a coconut milk. Have you tried them? I am not a fan as most of them contain sugar and other weird stuff. But the coconut milk contains added calcium and tastes nice, around £1.50 I think, in the chilled section.

I don't know enough about ceoliac disease and their benefits but it does sound a bit unfair, perhaps no one should get any free food. Don't think the government could afford to give everyone free food (people with gluten allergies, dairy allergies, quite a lot of people)
