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

RobertKK · 25-10-2018 03:09PM

€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.

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

Cows that aren't given antibiotic produce organic milk!

No antibiotic milk ever enters the food chain

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.

I can nearly get it to the nearest euro.

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:

Anything else robbery.

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.

I have no idea, I don't drink milk. Would much rather drink water, though I get some people like to add it to cereal and tea/coffee. I don't eat cereal and only drink black coffee.

Someone being accused of being out of touch for not knowing the price of milk is ridiculous.

Yes your correct.
I buy milk so I know how much it costs and I have a fair idea of the cost of my of other weekly groceries as well. I don't know the cost of items I don't buy tough.

Some lad from the milk industry on the radio the other day saying organic milk is worst for you than the real stuff.

Something to do with iodine content.

I use it in tea. Full fat elsewhere (like porridge or coffee).

Explain the brainwashing...

Lol, sorry I got that. Just thought milk by its very nature was organic but it's been explained (somewhat)

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