Really annoyed at 1.5litre milk

I disagree that this is rip-off Britain, as others have stated our farmers are struggling and need to earn a decent living wage. A lot of shops are against raising prices so may alter sizes instead but at the end of the day some prices have to raise.

I generally don't like paying £1 for 4 pints of milk at Asda as this feels too cheap and I wonder if they aren't paying the farmers correctly!

Got to agree, a lot of dairy farmers aren't earning much (if anything) at all

Whatever.
But Granola will often have as much sugar as a kids cereal be it fructose, lactose or whatever so the point I was making is do not be sucked in by thinking it is a healthier option sugar wise.
Right. As this was a thread about milk prices I shall do one as I have nothing to add onthat point.

8 pints per day between 5 people/children is way too much. Also milk is very cheap overall compared to other foods. Weetabix isn't healthy imo, muesli or porridge is the healthiest options.

It may be too much by your reckoning. But in our house (2 adults and a teenager) we use about 2-3 litres everyday. We have milky coffee (2 mugs), cereal/porridge with milk and a glass of warm milk before bed. Each to their own

Edwardia

We (2 adults) get through:

3 x 2 litres organic Guernsey whole milk per week
500g - 1 kg organic natural live yogurt per week
2 x 6 large organic free range eggs per week

OH eats organic no added sugar muesli or organic Weetabix at home on weekends, and would take about 4 months to get through 24 Weetabix and 1kg muesli. They look like a muesli/mush island in an ocean of milk in his bowl though At work he has organic porridge and again takes him about 2 months to get through the box.

I've given up on his carb fest but now he has a Graze box weekly, he doesn't get organic carrot cake etc
