If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Morrisons now doing a basic sweetened soya for 55p. Better than Sainsbury's own for £1.15.

I'm currently trying that (own brand fresh oat milk from the chiller cabinet).
It's OK but it's not very creamy and has a slight bitter aftertaste.
I usually get longlife ones but didn't have enough time to locate them in the massive Asda this morning but will give that a go this time.
This one is OK but not the nicest one I've tried, can't grumble for £1 though.
Oh right, I think it's as creamy as the Tesco own brand one, which is quite creamy! Never noticed any bitter aftertaste either. I really like it.
The Lidl own brand one isn't creamy at all, it's really watery. Urgh.

I'll try the Longlife Asda one next time - I've just had a look at the reviews of the fresh one and a lot of them mention similar to my experience and say the Longlife one is better, the Longlife is £1.30 mind you but that's still not bad (and suits me better as I can store it until I have a plan to get through a whole litre once opened!)
This one is OK and I'd get it again due to the price, but I've had ones that I prefer (Morrison's Longlife is good, currently £1.49 though).

We've got a soy milk maker, size of a big jug and you just wash and chuck the dried beans in, add water and it does its stuff. Kids love it as milky bedtime drink and obviously unit cost cheap. Does taste great though obviously quality of bean is the big factor. Has programmes to do other bean stuff too but not really used it for anything else.
ETA We keep the leftover grounds too as they can go in dough to make bread.

Suspect in the UK this would cost more then buying it!

Yes, can't recall what the jug cost but would be less than twenty quid at a guess, but dried beans are cheap and easy to find here. Even paying for better farmed ones doesn't break the bank.

I like Lidl Barista Oatmilk. I think it’s better than Oatly and it’s my preference these days.

This is my first choice, used to buy Alpro, worked out over a year, if I switched to this, I’d save enough dosh to heat my home for a month, £3 a week adds up over a year. I haven’t noticed any difference tbh.
I don't think Oatly is any great shakes tbh, think they've got a nerve charging as much as they do!

Aye but the fridge stuff won't last for months, if I find a longlife one I like at a good price I'll buy a few at a time to last for 6 months.

I'm still varying between Oatly and Alpro Oat depending on which is on offer - can usually get one or the other for £1.50 from Morrisons.. can't say I notice much difference.
Was put off soya milk when heard too much soya aint' great for you.. can't remember what it's meant to do..

It is relatively high in phytoestrogens and can cause problems for people with thyroid issues, especially with regard to monitoring thyroid conditions.
I don't think it causes any problem for people who are otherwise healthy, well unless you are eating kilos of soya a week or something! But that can be said of many foods.
I disapprove of the use of soya in cat foods because cats are prone to hyperthyroidism, but I don't think using soya milk is an issue for humans unless they have been told to avoid it for a particular health reason.

Wrong thread?
I used to struggle getting any of this stuff to work in coffee - its a mugs game imo - but I had to give up coffee last year as it appears to make my feet swell up. I didn't want to believe it at first, but tried cutting out coffee a few times and feet swelling went down, then came back when i reintroduced the coffee. So coffee is no longer an issue. I go between a few different brands, entirely dependent on which one is on offer when i make my purchase, but they are all oat based (unsweetened). I could drink it straight from the carton tbh - it tastes so good, much better than cow's milk.

Which one was it?
Also, have you done a lateral flow test (just to be on the safe side)?
Gro, which I think is the Coop's brand name.

Ah yeah, I know that brand. I had some “chicken pieces” which were incredibly disappointing, not tried anything else though.
Their milk seems comparable with any other I've tried, their sausages are shite, and I haven't eaten ice cream for so long I can't really comment, other than to say it was alright.

I think I had a wrap or sandwich or something which was fine. Seems each product in the brand is quite different in terms of quality.

Bringing YOU round.....
I love the Oatly barrista oat milk. I did an online shop and this item x 6 was replaced with MOMMA barista oat milk.....it does not taste the same..and has a slight aftertaste that is disappointing

I really like the Minor Figures oat milk . . . but . . . just very recently it seems to have changed slightly. I don't know if it is just me, or if I just picked up a duff batch??? but it suddenly tasted like the now discontinued original lidl oat milk, with a slight hint of a coconut taste. Weird.
Conversely, my new favourite at the moment is the Lidl Barista oat milk (£1.30)
