You were good to me Fairlife. You were good to a lot of us, and in some ways you're still the best. You've got great flavor, your macros as excellent, and you're usually available. The lactose free part is important for some of our partners (I know were not exclusive) but that's never been important to me. I knew you had some red flags from the beginning, like being in a 52oz bottle right off the bat so you never got caught with the "one less olive" trick. I was willing to look past that, the mildest of corner cutting. But the days of getting to kiss you for $3.50 when you were on sale seem to be gone forever. You are now over $12 dollars per gallon.
And for what? 4g of protein and 10 less calories than than Classic Skim. Look no one is saying Skim is better than you, but do you really think you're more than 4x better than her? Because that's what you're charging.
I can't do it anymore. I'll have to find those 4g of protein from somewhere else, like literally half an extra bite of chicken. Those 10 calories I'll make up just by carrying Skim's 8lb jugs.
We've had a good run but you need to check yourself and come back to reality. Until then Skim is gonna be my new go to Moo.

6.99 in San Francisco/ have long since ditched her!
Try Carbmaster nonfat milk if you have a Kroger near you! 60 calories and 11g protein per 8oz cup! Their chocolate milk is 80 calories 11g protein and absolutely delicious.
If you’re anywhere near an Aldi, apparently they have their own protein milk now that’s a lot cheaper
They always over charge for the lactose intolerant people. It’s so unfair. Buying any substitute for dairy adds up and it’s the main reason i cant stick to a non-dairy diet. And half of the substitutions are filled with preservatives that trigger my LPR. So I completely relate to giving up certain things due to the price.
Try Mootopia at HEB if you’ve got it!
Isn’t there an aldi version that’s cheaper?
Holy cow; it’s 5.39 where I am, so comparable to other lactose free milks. (Also, it seems to last longer-we don’t go through a lot of milk.)
Where I am, it’s a little under $5 (depending on store, $4.49-4.99). The Target brand is less at like $3.50. But you’re right, it’s not drastically different from skim.
Where do you live? It’s under $5.00 at the Walmart near me (I don’t shop at Walmart) and still under $6 even at the world’s third worse grocery store to ever exist, Safeway. And I live in a HCOL area.
Where on earth is this priced at $12?
Edit: my bad, I realized you are extrapolating that price out to a per gallon cost.
