3 litres a week (which, Google informs me, is about 5 pints) and most of that is used in cooking, with the rest in my 2 coffees a day.

Nobody here drinks milk unless I've made brownies (then a glass of milk is a must!) and we don't eat cereal. Porridge, when we have it, is made with milk.

I don't think I'd want ds (7yo) drinking milk as his main drink, I can't see how that could be good for you.

Milk consumption is pretty high, about 2.5 litres a day so weekly spending about £10.00, not to mention loads of natural yogurt about 5-10 tubs a week. Tried soya milk, the different types like almond and sweetend but soon gone off the taste or just got bored of it. Always use whole milk, i just feel the taste is better compared to semi skimmed and everyone at home agrees
