Long Life Milk
33 Answers
I've done a shopping order which is being delivered tomorrow. I went to add my usual long life semi-skimmed but there were no lidded ones available to order. I then popped to my local tesco to get some but the shelves were completely empty. The only ones there were the cartons where you cut to open the spout. I prefer the closable ones as there is only 2 of us and it usually lasts the week. I got some fresh milk instead.
Does anyone else buy long life milk and if so, have you been able to get any? How come fresh milk is still available but long life is only available in the non-lidded variety?
