Do you know how much a bottle/carton/litr of milk is?

freshpopcorn

I know how much a bottle/carton/litre of milk is and I would have a fair idea how much other household grocery items cost.

HeidiHeidi

I haven't seen a bottle of milk in about 30 years.

my3cents

They don't sell milk in bottles anymore.

Boom_Bap

Chocolate Moojo Milk is about €1.69

The question should really be do you know how much a liter of milk is.

I've no idea. Nor do I know the price of a loaf of bread.
The reason being, when I buy a loaf of bread, or a litre of milk, I am generally other items at the same time
I'm surprised that people still know the price of individual items

_Brian

Not a clue.
Buy it when it’s needed, not like we can do without.

We only use Avonmore milk.

Gravelly

Last time I saw a bottle of milk I think it was about two and sixpence.

well then I guess you know more about regular life than a lot of politicians.

Have to say I'm shocked as I was pretty sure you got your milk straight from the cow.

SusanC10

Not a bottle, no. But 2L Carton, yes. And I would know the price of most individual grocery items I regularly buy.

1 Litre of Milk, Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi, LIDL, 75c
2 Litre of Milk €1.49
Anything else robbery.

Well a carton of organic milk is 99cent a litre in aldi, or 1.30 in supervalue..
A pint of organic in a glass bottle is 80 cent...

Laurablabla

My partners parents have been getting milk delivered by the milk manevery week for the past 25 years or something....about 10 years ago it switched from glass bottles to the regular carton ones you see now. That's in South Dublin

Not a clue. We just buy it with all the other groceries; none of which I know the price of.

organic as opposed to what?

Laurablabla

By the way this is kind of a dumb question because it can range anywhere from 70 cents to 3 euros for a one litre depending on.the shop, the brand, the type (organic costs more as does fortified milk) there is no strait answers

Cows that aren't given antibiotic produce organic milk!

quadrifoglio verde

1.49 for store brand
1.79 for avonmore or premier.

Local spar is 1.79 for spar brand and 1.89 for avonmore so when the weekly shop milk is gone I buy the avonmore in the local spar.

The weekly food shop for two of us with ribeye steak tends to be around 45 or so in aldi. Cooking everything from scratch saves a fortune.

Not true. A butchers local to my partners family sell fresh milk in glass bottles. You also are asked to bring the bottle back the next time you purchase any so they can wash and reuse them.

Well just base it on where you shop.

mzungu

Depends on the brand. Sometimes there can be quite a large price difference for what is essentially the same product but with a more fancy design on the carton.

Hector Savage

I pay €1.19 for a 1.5L carton of Milk where I am ...

But do cows (in Ireland) not only get antibiotics when they actually need them? I thought that was all very strictly regulated unlike for example in the US?

If you have to ask you probably can't afford it

My servant buys the milk at Fallon & Byrne.

andekwarhola

Always buy two litres and they usually cost €1.49.

That costs more. A lot more.

RobertKK

€2 for 3 litres in some and its €2.19 for 3L in Super valu.
Whole milk that is, skimmed milk is a rip off with all the goodness removed.

Skimmed milk has the same amount of protein and calcium as whole.

Austria!

I've better things to think about than the price of milk. I mean it's one bottle, what could it cost, €10?

Yes that is correct but If I ever ask about organic milk the answer I'm given is the cows are never given antibiotics and they are treated better or something!

It's milk produced on organic farms where, among other things, only organic fertilisers and organic pesticides are used and all feedstuffs for livestock are organic. Antibiotics are given when animals are sick.

It's been a great week to be fair.... I now know the price of milk, the price of a flight from Dublin to Belfast and am enlightened by the fact that 6 out of 7 politicians allegedly have no problem with certain "ethnic minorities" living at the end of their road.

Yes, that's right.

Comes in plastic bags here, rather than bottles or cartons. About 1000 kyats/bag, AFAIK.

Why would anyone in their right mind fly from Dublin to Belfast?

1.49, 1.75, and up to 2 euros in my local rural shop.

I am terrible at maths and numbers, I mean embarrassingly so, but weirdly i have an inbuilt intuition based calculator and when I go to the till with a trolley full of groceries, I pretty much know, to a fiver or tenner, how much I'm going to pay. It's not like I'm consciously adding things up, it just happens. Tight budget household.

But it's watery and tastes awful. Each to their own though. Full fat everything in this house BTW, we've been brainwashed for far too long.

And if the full fat carton is nearing its end, top up with water. Will do in a pinch. Can't do that with skimmed :pac:

You're getting robbed paying those prices. €1.60 for 3 litres at Dunnes with their €10 off €50 vouchers.

Works out to €0.53 per litre.
