There really is a difference in flavour, for the full cream I admit.
I also do understand sometimes a budget is necessary with a family. Hopefully one day you get to try the difference

We used to drink it until I discovered the cheap milk contains trans fats. Check the nutritional label but it might be that only Australian governments allow that.
We then paid a premium for farm gate milk and now we are happy with the a2 from our supermarket.
It makes delicious thick homemade yoghurt and I can enjoy a cup of coffee without having to continually clear my throat after it.
Well lets just look at my 2l of Dairy Dale. vs A2 Milk per 100ml
Energy 180 Kj's vs 275

total fat 0.5g vs 3.5g
saturated fat 0.4g vs 2.4g
total carbs 5.5g vs 5.0
sugars 5.5g vs 4.7g
sodium 50mg vs 33mg
calcium 150mg vs 109mg$3 per 2l vs $4.90 per 2l
Better on my hips, better for my wallet. Better for the spawns teeth. Better than Coke.
And for teh record Budget vs premium milk just the same: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4488...-just-the-same
And while I'm at it because Im sure we are going to get the bleeding hearts banging on about child poverdy in the next few days. 1.5l of Coke for $2.00 at Countdown and on special down from $3.40. There is simply no excuse for not providing milk to a household if coke is being consumed
$3 is super cheap, anchor 2L at countdown range from 4.50 - 5.50 odd.
If I have A2 in the fridge along with other brands. My seven years old would go for A2 first always.
Craigs have an updated buy on ATM and sell on SML fwiw
