Have you seen this article in the Daily News Corner - Milk row exposes gutless UK Prime Minister.  Prime Minister, David Cameron has shot down his Health Minister, Anne Milton’s proposal to scrap the free milk scheme for under-fives stating he “did not like the idea”.  The scheme has run for many years and is now outdated, yet such a scheme will cost £59 million to run next year and clearly “does not provide value for money in difficult time” as Anne Milton pointed out.

Here at Poundland, our 2 litre bottles of milk, either semi skimmed or whole, are just £1 per bottle – showing you just how affordable it is to the average shopper and the Amazing Value we offer!  That is 9p per 189lt, compared to ASDA who charge 72p per litre (14p per 189lt).  Head down to your local Poundland store to pick up our chilled food (available at selected stores).

Reports in The Sun and on the BBC today claim that the average family is now spending almost £20 a week more on food than they were a year ago. That’s an extra £1,000 a year!!!
