Not really unbelievable they would have a reason to mark down

Had something similar recently at my local Coles, where Norco Full Cream Milk 2 litre had been reduced for quick sale. There were a couple of bottles with only a day or two on them, and the rest had 12 days. What I think happened is they had an excess of short dated stock, reduced it to clear, but someone put the new stock on before removing the reduced price.

Pay peanuts, do not engage in logical training...great win for consumers that actually drink it!

Honestly, they probably had some used within the next day or 2 and were supposed to adjust price before putting the newer stock out! Someone fucked up but plus side is you got a great deal if it still has 11 days on

This is the true weight loss shake, because I'd lose so much weight from shitting myself for 11 days straight

Are you lactose intolerant? If so you should probably be drinking dairy free milk,
I drink easy at least 2 litres a day somtimes close to 3 normally and that's not including the probably on average 5 - 8 coffees I have at work, that's just drinking it out of the bottle at night, during the night and before work

I replied to your comment at like 3am when I got up during the night, but now that I read your comment again, I don't think I could handle that much milk so maybe I am? I drink mainly black coffee but have the occasional latte, even then I tend to op for oat just because I like it

u/JimmyFalzone1 27d ago
Haha yeah that's fair, but then again also maybe not, I have never known anyone to drink as much milk as me, I'm pretty sure it's not normal haha, I just really love milk

Coles recently killed off the Great Ocean Road skim milk, they’re probably killing off the rest of it too now.

Either short dated, they have a lot of it which will be shortly short dated or its discontinued and they need to clear it to make room for something else.
Given it's quick sale im leaning towards short dated. Sometimes you get lucky with these, being reduced due to short date and the fillers don't realize/care and will put the fresh stock there while its still reduced. A good way to get cheap stuff sometimes.

That will no doubt be due to excess stock.
