    Milk is up again at Lidl - £1.35 for 4 pints now. 

    I noticed yoghurts going up too which I guess is logical.
    Not actually 4 pints.  Now selling 2 litre bottles.  So could be a candidate for the shrinking food thread.
  • Went to my local shop yesterday £1.50 for 2 litres , £1.10 for a litre and 85p for half a litre.

    So I went and checked in my fridge. Definitely 4 pints.

    Maybe different areas have different suppliers - worth keeping an eye on

    My local Waitrose is charging £1.40 for 4 pints of semi skimmed, however I'm currently getting 50p off vouchers once a week via my Waitrose card app so am not complaining.

    Mine was the filtered semi-skimmed variety.  That might make a difference.

    £1.35 for 4 pints today in Aldi.

    Standard semi-skimmed.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
