Out of curiousity, I priced HUT milk in my area. My grocery store has a very limited supply, not even enough to supply my family with a weeks worth of milk. 1 quart for $2.33 or three half pints for $3.29. A gallon (4 quarts) of regular milk cost about $4.80 at this particular store, but I can get it at another store for $3.20. HUT is more expensive here, and not popular. I assume it's cheaper and readily available down under? | ||

hey cool. my own thread. yeah. that's weird. here, UHT it literally half the price, and there's buckets and buckets of the stuff. Why on earth would it be more expensive? That makes no sense at all to me. Think about it, the main cost of milk is transporting it, storing it and selling it while it's still fresh - and keeping it cold for the entire time. That's a LOT of refrigeration. UHT doesn't need to be kept cold, so it can be transported in a normal old truck, and can just go straight on the shelf alongside the pasta. that's weird.

Its more expensive because there is less demand for it, so they can get away with chargin gmore

I have never heard of that. Intresting. Does it taste the same? We pay about $3.55 for a gallon of milk in AZ. Thats outrageous to me. Also I've heard about "cloning" milk? WTF? That cant be totally safe can it?

tastes 'different'. uh... gosh, it must be nice living in america... UHT is about $1.20 / litre - which works out to $4.50 per gallon... and UHT is half the price of regular milk.
