So few months back, more like 4-5 months ago, 3L milk jug was €2.95, then they’ve upped it to €3.25 and now…it’s €3.55!!!

Before the war in Ukraine and shortly before the first increase it was €2 for 3L jug. I’m fuming 🤬🤬🤬

And before anyone brings it up to switch to soy/almond derivatives, I’m not paying €2 per litre for that shite.

  4. Price gauging report it to your local TD. Wondering how they justify this when inflation is down again and so are the energy prices.

  7. If most of this was going to the farmers then with costs and all I’d say fair enough but it ain’t they are getting ripped off too.

  9. 3.25 in Aldi, Tesco is just driving up prices on everything.

  10. 30 euro (15 on “sale”) for moisturiser that I used to get for a fiver in Tesco today. No i didn’t buy it. My own fault wasting my time going to Tesco.

  11. €1.18 per litre isn’t the end of the world.

  13. People in the comments don’t seem to realise that milk costs the same everywhere so it will be the same price everywhere.

  15. I’ve been milking the cat for a few years now to cut corners. He’s always scratching the fuck out of me and the milk tastes bad but it does save me a few bob.

  17. We should leave the EU and put a 100% on all goods coming to Ireland. Then maybe that might make the milk cheaper /s

  18. Tesco are usually just the first to put their prices up and the last to put them if it goes down.

    Step-sisters husband is a farmer. He says one of the issue is demand and there in lack of supply. A lot of farmers are retiring and there’s no one to take over and a lot of farmers see milk as the least profitable so their finite resource get used else where. So less farmers and less farmers wanting to produce milk and dairy products and on top of that increased demand. Increasing prices incentivises farmers to well milk.

    Still sucks for the rest of us.nanything containing milk will probably increase in price too. Hopefully it’s not permanent but looking at a few articles from the IFA it looks like it could be.

  19. Some company’s droop the 2 litres down to 1.75 litres

  21. Well I don’t drink milk so this has no effect on me whatsoever

  22. That’s similar to the price in Germany just for reference

  23. Goats milk is 3.19eur a litre. Your cows milk is so so cheap.

  27. The only ones getting milked are the consumers

  28. I remember 3l costing 2.12 eur and that was not that far ago. If you say because of inflation one more fucking time I’ll punch your teeth in, this isn’t inflation this hyperinflation and it’s alarming.

  29. Supervalu is 3L for €3.25.

    When Tesco repeat the bullshit of ‘every little helps’, they mean it helps their profits.

  30. I blame the greens making people think cow farts are destroying the planet.

  31. Honestly when it comes to animal products it should be expensive. Maybe if we actually put decent value on the things we’re taking from them we’d appreciate it more and also wouldn’t see it going to waste on the regular.

    I don’t know why this hasn’t been bigger news in a country so obsessed with dairy farming. California declared a state of emergency over H5N1outbreaks in cattle. It was big news before Trump took over, then zilch. If we have an outbreak here, which is likely, we’ll be looking back nostaligcally at a time we could buy 3L for €4.

  34. Knowing what the farmers get paid at the gate, I’m amazed they aren’t blockading supermarkets

  35. In UK Tesco it is £0.64/litre. I’m curious how much cheddar is considering a lot of cheddar in the UK is from Ireland.

  36. Stop drinking milk on a daily basis! It’s proved sscientifically that milk is not healthy for the human body once reached puberty!Edit : Tommy The Tit explained more accurately in “Snatch ” 🤣😂😅

  37. Truly the worst thing to come from the war on Ukraine

  38. Lads thank fuck I finessed a Tesco colleague clubcard that offsets this inflation
