    mine isnt a rip off IMO. we get 2 cartons of 2l avonmore milk monday wensday and friday its their before we get up. The bill every thursday is 13.75. which is resonable as that is his profit and petrol for the van

    4 x 2lts = 4 x €1.50 = €6.00

    Your milkman is making a huge profit.

    I'll stick to Lidl's/Aldis/Supermarket own brands, thanks.

    There's one round me area, stopped using him though since there's fewer people staying at the house now so milk doesn't go as fast. So I only get when I need to restock.

    There's also a breadman doing his rounds here, nice cakes too, stopped with for same reason as above.

    Handy services when you live in the countryside :)

    we pay 13.75 but id rather pay that 1.75 extra get it delivered to my door and have nice milk cause the lidl/aldi own brand is muck in comparison

    When I was growing up we use to get up really early and walk around our estate and take the milk from peoples doorsteps. Wasn't a nice thing to do but we were young and stupid. I don't drink milk so wouldn't have a need for one but even though they charge a bit more it probably saves money as you are not going to the shop and buying other things you don't need

    I live about three miles from the nearest secondary road so never had a milkman, but we did used to have cows. There is nothing lovlier than someone coming to the kitchen with a jug and pouring delicious, fatty milk on your cornflakes, so fresh that 15 minutes earlier it was sloshing about in a cow's udder.

    Totally worth getting tuberculosis for.
