Tesco 1l slim milk 37c

snubbleste

Tesco Skim Milk 1 litre with red label 37c in my local store.
It's a new product line

jayteecork

Not bad.

TheBody

Thanks for that op. Will check that out in my local Tesco.

Oh_Noes

Why's it just skim milk? No blue label one for 37c?

CFC007

Thanks OP good deal!

snubbleste

Dunno..
Haven't tasted it yet. Could someone with refined tastebuds let us know what it's like.

Saw it in my local Tesco store. It has the NDC (National Dairy Council) logo. At 37c - I will definitely try it soon!

calex71

Below cost selling if ever I saw it, no way they are breaking even on that. I'll get a weeks supply , how bad can it be.

Esel

A bit of butter in the cup and you're having a laffé!

calex71

I picked up a weeks worth of these earlier, and if I was "The man from Del Monte" I'd be saying yes


It's nice milk, had it on a bowl of wheeties there and passed the calex taste test :pac:

We buy this milk in Tesco every week , and it is the best . This carton has a best before date of 15th November 2011.
Of course when you open it , you have to use it within about 5 days .
It retails at about 75c per carton :

Nope - Its not actual manky .

You may be mixing this one up with the cartons of soya milk etc on display nearby.

This UHT milk is absolutely similarly to ordinary everyday milk .

But for some reason it is not on sale on the same display aisles as all other milk .

He's right, UHT milk is manky.... Not similar at all, unless you don't have taste buds.

... but there's no demand for that, because it's shite.



Anyway, isn't a normal tesco 3ltr milk only little over €1.50 or something?

UHT...ugghh!!! A long way removed from what came out of the cow!! Why mess with something as natural as milk?? And it's not Irish milk either...

Will look to taste this new fangled Tesco milk though...

UHT = Utterly Horrible Taste

There's a serious whack of sugar in that , 200ml has nearly 10g of sugar then add to that whatever gets put in tea or over cornflakes :eek:

We have a carton of that UHT stuff at home at the back of the press - for tea making emergencies... which occur when the shops have closed

ted1

UHT is mank. its only desgined to be used for tea of coffee, no way it'd go near a glass or bowl of ceral.

UHT is "ultra high temp", meaning the milk is heat treated at higher temps than regular pasteurised milk. This kills off more nasties so it can sit on normal shelf for far longer than regular milk would last in a fridge. This is why it is cheaper.

Most people I know hate it but I expect many people might have got used to it if they grew up on it.

Nothing unusual about it, it is 4.9% sugar, exact same as avonmore fresh milk. It is not added sugar, just natural sugars. Full sugar lilt has less sugar than this. Coke only has about twice the amount -so the next time you hear somebody saying BS like "did you know a glass of coke has 79 spoons of sugar in it" then tell them milk has half that, so whats the big deal.

This milk is not showing up online in my local tesco.

tantipie

got 10 litres of this today,,€3.70 and not gone off till 11th,,usually it would cost me nearly €8 for my milk:D

snubbleste

I bought loads and stuck it in the freezer.

PogMoThoin

It may be a bargain, but what about the 2500 items Tesco have increased the price of? We've stopped shopping in Tesco because they're more expensive for most items, especially the ones you buy every week.

I never realised that , and you are quite correct I just checked the label of the skimmed stuff and it reads the same as the UHT stuff. Surely that's natural sugars and not added sugar ? I'm not great when it comes to understanding food labelling

Sorry going off topic here, I might start a new thread for my questions over in food.

I defrost it for about 12 hours, then put it in the fridge before it is fully defrosted and shake before use. Lasts about 4 days.

How long can you freeze it for?
Milk icecubes could be a solution to the aforementioned middle of the night tea making emergencies

Normally I do it for a month maximum. Dunno otherwise, use google .

Nanazolie

was brought up on UHT milk when I grew up in France. Yuk yuk yuk all the way. It took me some times to get used to fresh milk, but I could never go back to the UHT stuff now. I only use it as a cupboard emergency, and then only in cooking. The good thing is that it keeps for ages

Bandana boy

UHT milk on cereal is seriously wrong!

Does that actually work? from my experience the water and the cream separates and your left with pale milky water on top and thick cream paste at the bottom of the carton.

Still some in tesco Midleton. Picked up 2 litres today.

It seems that today is the last day for Tesco 1 litre skimmed milk selling at 37c. It will probably be 74c from tomorrow.

Three pages in and no mention of this?!

In France, most supermarkets will have a small chilled cabinet with fresh (real!) milk. You might have to ask.

Jeez that one image of UHT milk caused some uproar. Someone somewhere sipping on their raw milk is laughing at the pasteurised milk crew from an even higher horse than some of ye are on!!

Unfortunately for the person on that high horse, it will be illegal to sell unpasteurised milk by the end of the year...

snubbleste

My local Tesco must've bought so much of these in, when I went in earlier they had at least 40 bottles reduced to 19c each with a BB date of today.

Ah well, I'd imagine most people drinking raw milk are producing it themselves anyway. Raw milk being sold is very rare due to the license they need + the stringent controls they need to sell it anyway afaik

calex71

Up to 74c a litre in my place

Though it is still actually saving me money, my house mates are not drinking it so no more subbing their milk in take

jayteecork

This is muck. Put some in my tea and it tasted like there was no milk in it at all.

Same thing for my cearal, was like cheerios and water.

1 1/2 litres going free in Midleton, lol.

Aldi have fresh skimmed milk at 85c per litre, although they run out of it early every day. Made by Bainne Ur in Ireland.
