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)?

Our local Tesco express has it.

Pretty sure I saw skimmed milk in Sainsburys yesterday.

I tried to add it to my online order but supermarket says none available. I have a few pints of UHT after thst I will have to use semi skimmed.

Thought it was just me. Our 'normal' weekly shop normally includes about 6 litres of long life skimmed milk but not been able to get it since before rationing began.
No problem getting semi-skimmed.

We’ve had no problem getting it in our local Tesco & Aldi. Will watch out now to see if that stops!

It’s the lowest-selling type, so dairies are prioritising semi-skimmed (biggest seller) and whole (recommended for under 2s). Could you water down some semi-skimmed?

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.

I got orange milk the other day. I also managed to get the last carton of skimmed and some skimmed UHT for a neighbour who needed some.

I've had no problem getting skimmed milk just yet; Can't stand semi, the creaminess makes me nauseous.

If the supply dwindles I'll have to go back to black tea and coffee

My local Asda had some yesterday, I'll have to go tomorrow and see if I can get some to put in the freezer.

I find it interesting those that say skimmed is the lowest selling kind of milk; it's the only milk all the adults I know will drink.

Those adults are unusual, @TakeMeBackToLondis! Skimmed milk is about 12% of the market, semi-skimmed 60%, whole milk 23%: ahdb.org.uk/news/consumer-insight-liquid-milk-market-performance

I can’t go without milk at all. Blue is my favourite but I get green.
I could drink gallons of blue milk. And eat butter with a spoon. Probably why I’m fat.

Milk and More are still delivering skimmed milk to the door. I'm not sure they're taking on any new customers now though. I guess the skimmed deliveries may stop soon.

There really must be regional variations then surely? Everyone I know (except my sister) drinks skimmed. I'm thinking people who say water semi down are not skimmed milk aficionados! That would just make watered-down semi, which is not the same as skimmed.

No I went to the supermarkets today plenty of blue and green but no skimmed.
I miss it.

@73Sunglasslover We probably cancel each other out - the only people I’ve ever known to drink skimmed were MIL and SIL when they did Slimming World!

I imagine the variation is more likely to be age-related. Adults over 40ish are more likely to have grown up with the vogue for low-fat diets, and are more likely to have medical conditions which necessitate a very low fat diet, eg gallstones. Young adults are drinking much less dairy of any kind, and are increasingly buying plant milks instead.

Check local foreign shops. While all supermarkets were empty I always found milk in polish shops

Co op. Though sometimes they have sold out because Sainsbury and Tesco no longer stock it.

Spot on. Sorry, but I place skimmed milk in the same room 101 of pointless things as mild cheddar and smooth peanut butter

I really don't like skimmed milk. It is too watery and, unless it has been fortified, contains much less vitamin D than semi skimmed. The only person I know who has skimmed milk is my sister. Everyone else I know has semi skimmed. We only had semi skimmed at work for tea/coffee making.

Doesn't it come out of the taps? It's a different colour, but it tastes the same.

I've got it everytime I've been 8n a shop

It does doesn't it. I think it is milk for people who don't like milk.

M&S have it usually. It’s my favourite but I’ll manage with semi if I have to.

I got some from m & s this morning.

In my last online delivery they sent sterilised skimmed milk instead of my usual UHT. It was fine.

It's all they had in Home Bargains yesterday.
