Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 We buy our soy milk from Costco as it is way cheeper than anywhere else that we can get it. They used to carry silk brand but recently they have been selling there own brand instead. It has a ton of sandy sludgy stuff in it and no matter how well you shake you always get a layer of the stuff on the bottom of the glass. As a result my daughter has started refusing to drink it. I was thinking of trying to pour it through a strainer for her, to reduce the " gunk " in it, but I was concerned that the stuff I might strain out would contain a lot of the nutrients, primarily the calcium. And, we cannot really afford to switch brands. Anyone have any thoughts? Rachael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Rachael, If you have a Super Walmart near you they are now selling their own brand comparative to Silk. Both regular and chocolate, about 60 cents cheaper a half gallon if I remember correctly. There is no sludge problem that we noticed. Tastes so much like Silk to us too. ~~Mitzi Anyone have any thoughts? Rachael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Is there home delivery in your area? One of the problems with these big box stores is that they necessitate a car -- which may negate the savings from purchasing there. If there is home delivery of organic/local foods in your area, maybe you can save on the overall cost of soy milk by having it delivery and eliminating what you are paying for driving to get it. ~Paul >>We buy our soy milk from Costco as it is way cheeper than anywhere >>else that we can get it.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Oh I am sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but where do you have to live to get home delivery of organic foods? I'm lucky to have a few organics at my local market and if I watch the sell-by dates carefully some of them are actually still edible. Are you referring to Peapod or some of the other online ordering services? - " Paul Falvo " <pfalvo Wednesday, May 24, 2006 7:08 PM Re: Re: Soy Milk Sludge > Is there home delivery in your area? > > One of the problems with these big box stores is that they necessitate a > car -- which may negate the savings from purchasing there. > > If there is home delivery of organic/local foods in your area, maybe you > can save on the overall cost of soy milk by having it delivery and > eliminating what you are paying for driving to get it. > > ~Paul > >>>We buy our soy milk from Costco as it is way cheeper than anywhere >>>else that we can get it. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
