To ask of you can get skimmed milk anywhere right now?

[coffeeforone]

Even when the supermarkets are fully stocked with all other milks there is no skimmed milk. Have the stopped selling it or have I just missed it each time I shop (every few days)?

We can’t get it!

I know OP, we are self isolating, I keep trying to order some for our neighbour, every size & type of skimmed milk are out of stock.

In the UHT section it's all I've seen available! No semi or full fat.

Tesco said they were to stop selling it during the crisis in order to prioritise whole & semi skimmed. I would imagine most others would follow suit.

Not UHT sorry, I need fresh skimmed. I'm one of those that is weird with milk and would rather go without than have UHT or full fat milk.

I do buy blue milk for the kids, so it's no biggie, just wondering why it's not available.

Co-op normally have it.

Just add some water to semi skimmed :)

At SlimmingWorld they were saying they've stopped selling it due to the crisis. Semi skimmed and whole milk available only

Bought some in our local tesco yesterday!

Didn’t know they were stopping it

Arla one of the biggest dairy chains have stopped making skimmed while the crisis is ongoing. This is to streamline production and to up the output they can produce.

I can imagine we won't have skimmed milk for quite some time. Even semi tastes so creamy now after being in skimmed for so long.

It was announced by supermarkets as a conscious decision to reduce range but increase amounts.
I assume it’s because no one actually needs slimmed milk but children need whole milk. (Not sure about semi skimmed)

Soapby / ok thanks, I've tried Tesco and Sainsburys, Waitrose. There is a coop close by too so will try there.

I can't get it either. I also like the 1% orange top milk but that has disappeared. I'm living with semi-skimmed, it's better than full fat.

Thought it was just me tried the BOB instead and that just tastes a bit odd. Luckily I always have some UHT in the cupboard as it is all a couple of (usually) regular visitors will drink. May have to use that

My local newsagents has been fully stocked including skimmed milk

Thanks! If that's the case I'll just go without for a few months! - not a huge fan of milk anyway as you can tell I'm quite fussy. Good to know it's not available.

I have only seen it in the local co op, but only the 4 pint

I m in Herts and have been buying the 4 pt bottles from Sainsbury's, got some Wednesday.
If it goes I will have to use dd s soya milk as I cant bear the creamy taste of the others but soya milk is horrible in coffee so i will drink that black.
Didnt know there was a shortage.

I have got it in our local co op. I think lidl had it yesterday as well (as far as I can remember- didn't look closely as only needed semi skimmed for DS and DH).

Petrol stations may also have it.

I hope I can keep getting it - semi skimmed causes havoc with my IBS.

Could you buy uht and decant into an old bottle?

Coop is the only place I’ve found it so have frozen one for when it’s completely unavailable- small producers only I guess. Black coffee here I come!

We cant find it either! Tried loads of shops over that last couple of weeks and all they have is semi of full fat! Central London.

Can you not just save the water after you've done the dishes? Just as palatable as skimmed milk.

It obviously takes some effort to "make" semi skimmed, so I am guessing they thought it was better the guarantee the supply of whole milk.
