  • Why is expiring milk a deal?

    • +26

      Yogurt to be kidding !!!

      How much is expiring milk normally ?

      • 40 Cents to like $1

    • +4

      You can freeze it

    • +3

      Some people here are okay with having it past the Use By.

      • I'm sorry, but never have I been more thankful that I can afford new milk whenever I need it than reading this.

        Although, usually the milk is gone long before the expiry date.

  • I would buy lots and turn it into aaruul. Great deal

    • +2

      or maybe try making Mongolian curd cheese

    10c Dairy Farmers Full Cream 2L

    It wouldn't surprise me if Coles make sure they don't make a loss by paying even less to farmers.

    Anyone wanna go calves halves?

      I veal…

      • Moo hiss that was terribull…

    • Your headline would be "Bobzor Bargain in bovine broden".

  • I've seen this occasionally at my local Coles too but can't really think of what I could make with it

      Turn it into ricotta cheese, then turn that into a baked cheesecake.

      • But but, what can I turn the cheesecake into when it expires? Blue cheesecake? 😂

        On a serious note though, if you make another product out of expiring milk, would that really push back the expiry date? Cant imagine that would be the case unless you really cooked the crap out of it (then again, willing to be educated).

        • Yes make some cottage cheese 1-2 days after the expiry and it will last another 4-6 days. So total of 5-7 days ahead of expiry.

    • +2

      Freeze it into blocks and make an igmoo

    • +2

      Drink it,
      Make yoghurt / custard/ easy white cheeses (with just vinegar or lemon juice)
      Make some dinners with bechamel sauces /pancakes
      Desserts like rice pudding

      Time to stock up. Freezer is a great invention. Ah yes, before you say but it's about to expire, right now we have milk that is 7 days past use by date. It doesn't taste/smell off And you will know when it is off. The fact that it is not like your great-great-grandmother used to milk a cow is the reason why it doesn't go off in just a few days, as this is not full cream. Buy one of those expensive ones that are actually full cream and you'll see how long it lasts and long life milk is made of nuclear waste. It just doesn't go off. Had one in the fridge for over a month, still seemed to be the same, no change in taste or smell.

      We have had milk straight from a cow and there's a huge difference to what you buy from a shop. That milk in shop can hardly be called milk. By the time they take everything out of it, it should be called water. Yet, they dare to sell low fat, skim milk and at what price. I'd rather drink water. Still people fall for it and think they are doing themselves a favour.

        Calm down

        • +1

          I am calm, why do you think I'm not?

          Just stating the facts. I have no problem getting all I can and freeze it. Nothing wrong with it. If someone thinks they're going to get ill, that's fine by me.

      • Your not by any chance the same person as the squeeze and fart soup?

    • I have a machine that makes Yogurt. This milk might be part way there.

  • Surely they are not making any profit on this right? Wouldn't it be cheaper if they threw it out and have insurance cover the loss?

    • +6

      Will insurance cover the loss on stupidity/poor planning/over ordering?

    • +2

      They have insurance for expired food?

    • Do you remember the $1 christmas trees deal?

      • Do you remember the free Christmas tree deal?

    • Why would you throw out free food?

  • -1

    Insurance would require them to have a loss mitigation plan in place, like selling it a 10c a bottle.

    As for extra milk, I believe because of all the enzymes it contains it would make a great drain cleaning agent. Becomes even more effective when it's gone off. never waste spoilt milk.

    Instead of ordering 1 crate of 9 bottles of A2 milk, I accidentally ordered 9 crates of 9 bottles once when working at Woolies. Have heard similar mistakes with whole pallets of expensive milk being flogged off.

    I feel this is what has happened.

      Buyers are complete nobheads, have absolutely no idea what they doing, all they do is sit in their little comfy office and click their mouse away while people like storemen and delivery drivers break their backs bearing the brunt of such mistakes….

      • +3

        No they are on ozBargain during work time getting bargains.

      • This was all in store quite a few years back, while getting paid not much more than $15 an hour.

        Just had to make an adjustment where I made an adjustment for the wrong unit.

    • don't wooolies automatically order things? pretty sure they got software for this stuff

      • Humans make mistakes. Software was programmed by humans. Bushfires would have affected the summer buying trends in many areas (probably not in Waterloo).

    How much do the farmers get?

  • +1

    I think I’ll wait another day. It’s bound to get cheaper.

    • +1

      Dumpster diving it for free

    • Exactly what I was thinking.

  • +1

    Any lower and you can turn a profit by recycling the empty bottles for $0.10.

  • cheap!

  • Bigbird dislikes this wastage.

  • better hurry up. 10 more days and the price will be 100 times more when it turns into cheese.

    disclaimer: i don't know anything about how you get from milk to cheese.

    • +1

      theres whey more to it…

  • This thread needs to go into some kind of jv greatest hits collection.

    Anyway, best solution - cheese curds then poutine. Nom.

  • I wish all supermarkets did this, instead of tossing them out.
