Just back from the local shop there where I paid 1.38 for a litre of milk. It was 1.28 last week.
Bought a 3 litre container of Milk yesterday in Aldi for €2.19 which works out at 73c a litre.
100% Irish Milk according to the labeling.
You pay through the teeth for the convenience of these mom and pop outfits,avoid them like the plague,they are really milking it.
not just milk, look at how much the price of potatoes have jumped up!
Aldi milk is sourced in Northern ireland.

Isn't this because of the wet weather recently though?
Aldi milk is sourced in Northern ireland.
You can tell by checking the little oval mark on the label, with the letters EC and either UK or IE. The Aldi one says UK NI xxx, If it wa sourced in the Rep of Ireland, it would say IE,
Centra own brand milk, SQ own brand milk are both irish and less than €2 for 2 litres.
.
I actually dont think any of Dunnes milk is from the republic.
On a side note, all Aldi cheese is from the north also.
Careful here - I strongly suspect DS milk is from RoI.
Also, lots of cheese in both Aldi and Lidl is made in the RoI, but packed in Leek, Shropshire, UK. That means the EU circle label will say "LK xxx UK".
It's a bit confusing to see a tricolour on the front of "Irish cheese", and then to see a "LK...UK" circle label on the back.
Most of the time the label explains it by saying.............
"Produced in Ireland using Irish milk, packed in the UK"
But some cheeses are "Produced in Irl and Britain using Irish and British milk".
Of course the milk was a lot nicer back then IMO as it was creamier. I remember when we used to get milk delivered in glass bottles and the birds would try and pierce the top to get the cream - that was a country service as late as 1990...ahh that first glass of milk!
This is interesting protocol. To date, I have been led by the country code in the little circle. How do I distinguish where the raw produce is from and where the item is packaged?
