[Tech1] Supermarket milk

[patheigham]

I’ve not come across Cravendale, but used Waitrose to deliver some other liquid! Recent offers of 25% off wine, necessitated an order of 24 bottles of Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc, normally around £9.69 or so, but discounted to £7.27.
So that should suffice for a month during lockdown!
Speaking of prices – some years ago I had the opportunity to visit Le Touquet, nearing Christmas, so went armed with plenty of francs (in those days) to get some Veuve Clicquot fizz.
The proprietor of the cave had a high price, roughly £2 a bottle more than Majestic – so I tackled him on the price. Gallic shrug. You want Veuve, you pay, no room for negotiation at all etc. So francs intact, Majestic got the business.

Hi,

I’m a fan of ‘Cravendale’ semi-skimmed milk which, bought today (12th November), delivered by Waitrose (when I can get a delivery slot - it’s safer than mingling with the non-social-distancing mob in-store!) has a use-by date of 6th December.  That’s over 3 weeks’ shelf-life for semi-skimmed milk.

I moved to Cravendale semi-skimmed milk when lockdowns began and it has proven to regularly last 7 days from first-opening to its use-by date. To me, it tastes like ‘regular’ semi-skimmed milk because it is, just the elements that can cause decay have been more thoroughly filtered out. Available in both 2litre and 1litre sizes from a variety of supermarkets….



But what do I know!?

All the best,

Steve (Long-time listener, rare contributor)
