Great stuff. Bought 18 the other day:)
Isn't 2L Devondale always $2?
Not any more.
Thanks heaps for sharing this deal I'm down to my last almond milk I was hoping they would go on sale soon. Time to stock up. Thanks again
Personally, these almond milks are a rip off as the nut content is so low. The highest nut content I've found was from Pure Harvest that has 7% almonds.
All almond milk is a rip off anyway.. You are paying for nuts mixed with mineral water.
Soy Milk on the other hand is far more nutritious, and in some cases cheaper.

Almond Milk
People drink almond milk for many reasons, but many have no idea how devoid of nutrients their trendy dairy milk alternative actually is.There are very few almonds in each half gallon carton. In fact, evidence shows there may be just over a handful.
While the amount of almonds in each beverage vary, an analysis of UK almond milk brand Alpro showed that nuts make up only 2% of the drink.
Business Insider was assured by spokesperson Carissa Sauer, from a trade group called the Almond Board of California, that “ingredient combinations are pretty similar” between U.K. and U.S. almond milk products.
This leaves almond milk almost completely devoid of the most beneficial part of almonds — protein.
Multiple almond growers and processors contacted by Business Insider declined to provide specifics on the ratio of almonds to other ingredients in their almond milk outside of saying the recipe is fairly standardised “across the board.”
The producers referred me to the Almond Board of California (ABC), which was willing to speak but referred me back to the almond companies.
A simple comparison of nutritional values in single servings of almonds and almond milk provides some insight, however:
Almonds vs almond milk Create infographics
A typical serving of almonds has 160 calories per serving. By comparison, a cup of almond milk contains just about 30 calories. And while a serving of almonds has 14 grams of total fat and 6 grams of protein, a serving of the milk has 2.5 grams of fat and just one gram of protein.
In other words, a single serving of almond milk has almost no protein. Compared with plain old almonds, it fares even worse.
There is one place where almond milk comes out on top, of course: It has more potassium and more of the vitamins A and D. But almond milk is fortified with these nutrients — they have been added during the production process.
Based on these numbers, to get the nutritional value of a handful of almonds, you’d have to drink not just a few cups of the almond milk but an entire carton of it
Nutty Bruce has 10%
Thanks for pointing this out (at full price it's cheaper than Almond Breeze for example!). Is there a discount cycle that Pure Harvest prices go on at Coles/Woolworths?
Thanks for posting… stocked up on a few also
