You organised people! HOW do you keep the supply and demand of yoghurts in your fridge reasonably even?

aka why on earth don't they come in packs of 7?!?!

Because I either have a yoghurt mountain that I have to chuck when they are two weeks out of date or a dearth of yoghurts and DS is bereft of any calcium intake. And so many different types - lunch box friendly, pudding type yoghurts, petit filous for the baby which I always seem to buy in packs of 180, my yoghurts for breakfast, occasionally a big pot of plain yoghurt.

This is actually the most pressing concern in my life right now.

I stock rotate the way they do in supermarkets. Put the old yogs at the front and the new ones at the back. And I only buy two types... fruit or plain.

really all these different yogurts why? The baby just had the same as everyone. I like the Yeo valley. Only two types here too plain in the big pots and fruit. Is there a need for lunch box friendly/pudding seems like a lot of money to me.

I would never chuck yogurts, they seem to last if not opened.

We buy the big pots of yoghurt and decant into small tupperware containers to take with us every day. DH eats a lot of yoghurt and will happily hooever up anything that's left at the end of the week but doesn't do phaffing with little pots.

You are all very sensible. I still wish yoghurts were sold in sevens though.

Buy individual ones, then you can get 7. They are only 15p each in Aldi, so only £1.05 for 7.

I buy two big pots of plain yogurt every supermarket shop for most occasions (pudding with fruit, breakfast with fruit, supper with a squeeze of honey and snacks). But every couple of weeks I buy the DCs a pack of fruity yogurts or fromage frais, or even frubes, for a treat and bring them out as a special pudding. These always disappear in one sitting so there is no danger of them going off! Yeo valley plain yogurt seems to keep in good condition for weeks.

We buy big tubs of Rachel's then decant it into little glass pots for nursery and work, there's never any waste
