Random question tbh

Anyone here still get milk from a Milky?

I ask as our local milkman knocked on our door asking if we would give them our business.. .even if it was just 4 pints a week. Apparently he has to drum up 40 new customers to keep the round going.

Now I appreciate that everyone is on a budget (myself included) and also that everyone's job is important in this day and age, so its a bit of a moral dilemma.

Price wise I believe id be paying an extra 15p per pint at least over my supermarket 'floor price', however certain deals as a certain chain has at the minute allows me to get 8pints of Full Fat milk for £2... thats a bargain, especially as at the minute we go through at least 28 pints per week.

So do I let the Milky in and help out the local community as such, get the convenience of milk on my doorstep every other morning, or do I save the extra £3+ per week by getting my milk as I normally do!

I think ill keep it as I am, but I do feel like a kid born out of wedlock because of it.
 
Ill explain the 28pints by saying my 1 year old lad has just moved onto cows milk and he still has 4 bottles of it per day, thats around 32 fl oz per bottle (1/2 pint?) So hes on about 2 pints per day, then the rest is me mainly (cereal which is 2 big bowls ie 4 weetabix per bowl and cups of tea)... the misses sometimes has some and my 3yo daughter maybe a milkshake or hot milk for bed.

So we easily chug through a 4 pint carton each day unfortunately :(
