Forget the high prices charged by the big supermarkets for filtered milk.
Aldi and Lidl both now sell pasteurised, homogenised, fresh filtered milk (produced by Arla Foods, makers of Cravendale) now down to 99p for 2 litres.
2 litres of Cravendale at Tesco - £1.90 (2 for £3)
2 litres of Cravendale at ASDA - £1.80 (2 for £3)
2 litres of Cravendale at Morrisons - £1.90 (2 for £3)
2 litres of Cravendale at Ocado - £1.90 (2 for £3)
2 litres of Cravendale at Waitrose - £1.90 (2 for £2.50)
2 litres of Cravendale at Iceland - £1.50
2 litres of Cravendale at Sainsbury's - £1.75
2 litres of Aldi Fresh Filtered Milk - now 99p
Same price at Lidl too
Exactly the same as Cravendale - a very long use-by date, and keeps for 7 days after opening.

Whilst we all want to save money, which is why we look at this site, every time I see things like milk reduced to a really low price, I wonder a) how much money the farmer gets (without government subsidies) b) if costs were cut regarding the welfare of the animals in order to get prices lower.
You cannot keep squeezing prices lower and lower then expect all the costs like wages, animal feed, veterinary bills etc to also get lower - vets won't take a pay cut, so the savings are probably being made with farmworker's salaries/living conditions, and also the animal's welfare.
I don't go along with the tree-hugging veggie stuff, but now and then we ought to think about more than just saving a few pence.

Asda and Tesco 'own brand' filtered milk is £1.25 per 2 litre bottle.
Obviously Aldi and Lidl's is cheaper, but maybe a better price comparison?
As much as I admire what Aldi and Lidl have done for 'forcing' down prices, I hate to see Aldi's price saving promotions based on their own brand against top branded items.
Much more honest to compare own brand against own brand (not necessarily budget end).
Rant over. lol
Voted hot and watching to see how the major supermarkets act.

i agree about Aldi, always saying look how much you could save if you bought our brands whilst comparing them against Nescafe, Kellogs etc. ridiculous

I find a lot of it is budget end. Tins of new potatoes, processed peas, tomatoes and quite a few other products are the exact same product as basic/smart price/value etc in mainstream supermarkets often at higher prices. Some of the Lidl/Aldi tin products are actually lower quality than Tesco value etc even though they feature colour labels and better presentation so they more resemble branded goods. It seems a bit of con but then if it works you can't blame them for doing it.
I'm not bothered about filtered milk and extending shelf life by removing additional bacteria I always worry about how sterile we are making food nowadays. I mean the human body is made up of 2-6lbs of bacteria and with mcdonalds burgers so sterile that they can last 20 years without decomposing its getting a bit ridiculous now. I wish Lidl and Aldi would do cheap lactofree milk. Normal pricing is about £1-1.38 so anything below £1 a litre would be good. We could certainly do with a price war on lactofree which is more healthy.

Thats no different than the big name supermarkets comparing their value products to Aldi/Lidl better quality ones and claiming they are no cheaper not taking into account Aldi/Lidl general range are more like bigger supermarket mid range in terms of quality.
