    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.

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

    They don't sell milk in bottles anymore.

    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

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

    We only use Avonmore milk.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 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!

    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.

    Please just don't discourage him, this is so so so much better than his AH day thread.

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


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

    Cows that aren't given antibiotic produce organic milk!

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭Humphrey BoaGart


    My servant buys the milk at Fallon & Byrne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,687 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    Always buy two litres and they usually cost €1.49.
