Skimmed Milk

I buy BoB milk (best of both) which is skimmed but tastes like semi, I have had no problems getting it with my Tesco delivery and from my local co-op, where they had plenty of all types of milk this morning when I was there. Have you asked in your local supermarket why, I know in our area a lot of the local coffee shops but their milk from the supermarket as it is cheaper , perhaps you are going before they have restocked the shelves.

That’s why I asked 6months later? HVDY2
Maybe still a problem for some.

I didn't have a problem Grannywool in Lidl or Tesco in Scarborough.

Just noticed that the original post was from November 2023

No problem in Asda or Sainsbury's here (Nottingham)

6 months later?

There is still a shortage of skimmed milk in the shops I go in.
Was worse in Scarborough to find last week 😔

UHT skimmed milk stil availaable at Waitrose.

I did my weekly shop at my nearest Tesco this morning (Newton Abbot in Devon). There was plenty of skimmed milk, both fresh and long life. I bought one of each.. So it's puzzling that there are shortages elsewhere. Hopefully it will soon be ok.

Oops meant to type Iceland!!!

Neither Island or Lidl have have it so I have to rely on going out of my way to the Coop.

I have also found that it goes off much quicker too.

Thanks for all your comments. Not sure what’s going on. Guess I’ll have to get used to semi skimmed for the time being. Calendargirl, I might have to have porridge for breakfast tomorrow after reading your comment.

My Tesco delivery today came without my usual 4 pint bottle of skimmed milk. The delivery man said they don’t have it in their canteen atm.

I buy the UHT skimmed milk and there doesn't seem to be a shortaage.

I had that problem last week and the doors assistant saud they had not had it for a few days, found some in another supermarket.

I've not had any problems recently Minibookworm but in the past have found that Tesco or Aldi haven't had any.

I've never had a problem with obtaining skimmed milk,- which I always use, - but I haven't done proper shopping this week yet so maybe I'll find out tomorrow or Friday.
I can't imagine what would cause such a shortage, it's odd.

My local Sainsbury's haven't had the two litre bottles for several days. Twice recently I've had to buy one litre bottles. Wonder if it's a shortage of the larger containers.

I can get it anywhere but Morrisons...they never seem to have it regardless of the day or time that I shop.. or on the occasions they do there will be just one litre bottles left

I get my milk from Tescos, but had to have semi skimmed recently as no skimmed.

But it was so much nicer in our porridge and cocoa that I have kept buying the SS.

I was in Tesco this morning and they only had a very few bottles of skimmed milk. They had none of the large (2 litre) bottles or small ones. It looks like Tesco definitely has a supply problem with skimmed milk as there was plenty of full fat and semi skimmed

M & S have it.

Plenty in Sainsbury’s up here.

No problem in Waitrose.

I buy long life skimmed milk from Morrisons. No apparent shortages.
