Milk Shortages

You can also buy dried milk. Proper milk I mean, not coffee whitener.1

Other option if desperate - dried milk from supermarkets or evaporated milk (which is reduced whole milk typically).

Yesterday 8th August I went to Waitrose, Tesco, Asda and finally got Sainsbury’s own lacto free skimmed milk at Sainsbury’s. I accept that we need to adapt but when you know one type works for you it is difficult to accept an alternative without trying to get what you want/ need. Here’s hoping the shelves will be full very soon.1

Lactose Free UHT - JUST MILK with 0% lactose, yet great taste this what I've bought. Long life so no need to freeze.

Our local Tesco (medium size store) and the large Metro one both have a lot of empty shelves which is even worse than March/April 2020. When I asked I was told that at least half of their drivers are currently off due to testing positive or being pinged.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Perhaps I've just been lucky but I haven't seen any lack of stock at all. I shop for milk at either Sainsbury's or Tesco and the shelves are always as full as they usually are.

Quite a lack of milk in Morrison's this morning, with a sign up saying there was a problem with their supplier.Lactose free milk has been in abundance, or not there at all, in all the shops I go to. I tend to buy an extra one for the freezer if there isn't one in there already (only keep one frozen at a time).Arla do a long life version of their lactofree milk but it doesn't taste as nice as the freshAldi store their long life in the fridge where I am - making out it is fresh! It doesn't taste very nice!0
