  Should be everywhere as it's on the Woolworths Online site: http://www2.woolworthsonline.com.au/Shop/SearchProducts?sear...

  I use the site often to see what unadvertised sales (i.e. stuff on sale that's not listed in the catalogue) I can find. Most of the time what's on the site will correlate with the store price (give or take a few cents for local price differences) but I have seen some exceptions.

  I heard soy milk makes your brain shrink.

    I heard you don't have any evidence to back that up

    No, that's what drinking the pus and hormone-filled milk meant for the babies of a different species does to you.

    Cool.. I shall now tell my other half that it's been reported that soy milk causes shrinkage. That should be enough to scare him away from the vile stuff, and free up some space in the fridge for the real deal. ;D

      But if he stops drinking it, he'll smarten up and realise you are having him on. ;)

  Might be the way I shop but I generally pay NO more than 1.50/L for this top stuff, and, it would be years since I'd downed what I'd call any 'bad' tasting Soy Drink product.

  True, you'd get some ($)variance across the brands/prices shopped; although, already coming out at a whopping premium =50 per-cent above Milk's cost, why would one elect to take such a premium into a 100%, or even worse (greater) cost.

  I will admit there is probably more that could be learned; however, "Soy Supreme Regular Soy Milk" at least at face value could be read as being a match for most options -if not with a benefit- and this ALDI sold milk, no surprise, turns out to be most economical and alongside Coles Lite Soy for cost.

  Soy milk

  $1.49-4.60 per litre*
  Soy milk has more protein on average than other alternatives, so it’s good for vegans and those who don’t get protein from meat sources. Most products we reviewed are calcium-fortified to a level similar to cow’s milk, and are also frequently sweetened. … Soy milk is available in a range of varieties including organic, high fibre, barista quality and milky-tasting.

  *Prices are based on those paid in Sydney supermarkets and health food stores in February 2012.

    Unfortunately it isn't just a matter of price or nutrition. I tried hard to like some of the bargain brands but Sanitarium still tastes the best. I can live with Aldi's house brand and that's what I normally buy when Sanitarium is not on sale.

  Agreed, tastes can vary across the varieties available. Black & Gold, if that reflects IGA's label, I found tasted quite good from my local. But of course, realising Woolies have responded with a welcome discount, I shall take the opportunity to give the cupboard a stock up.
