Hi folks the title says it all really I want to replace all my milk with almond milk but it's a pain to buy and I really can't find somewhere to get it cheaply in the UK if anyone knows any stores or online that do it and doesn't destroy my bank account I would really appreciate it!
EDIT:
Never knew Amazon sold food! There's this great looking deal of a 12 pack of Blue Diamond milk but it has mixed reviews, has anyone had any problems with this brand of almond milk? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Diamond-Almond-Breeze-Unsweetened/dp/B00DJTDBNM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388161499&sr=8-1&keywords=almond+milk

Tried it, it's fine, tastes the same as the other almond milks I have tried. I usually get the alpro unsweetened one from the supermarket (morrisons/tesco/sainsburys).0

I use Blue Diamond and I have no issues0

I have Alpro or Blue Diamond, both being the unsweetened version. If you use a comparison site like mysupermarket you can see where has it on offer. I usually stock up when I see if for £1 a carton. Sainsburys have also just released their own unsweetened almond milk, it was on offer for a bit but up to about the same price as the others now.0

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone, bought the 12 pack which I'm sure will last me a long time0

MAke your own. 1 cup (soaked) almonds, 3 cups filtered water, 2 dates and some vanilla. Put into a high powered blender- strain through a nut milk bag and presto!!!0

Blue Diamond Almond milk is quite often on offer in Tesco/Asda for £10

I always make my own, There are loads of recipes on the internet.0

I make my own or get it from iherb.com. (I'm in Korea and it's 5x the price here).

Is that really any cheaper? Almonds are super expensive. Maybe its an Australia thing.0 -
Yep - i totally agree with making your own - although... im an aussie too :P0

Costco has cheap almond milk. I agree...I wonder whether is is cheaper to make your own. Almonds are quite expensive.

1 cup of whole almonds is about 170g and makes about 1 litre of milk (i dont add the extras)- so i guess it depends what price you can buy almonds for where you are (looking at bulk buying is normally much much cheaper and they keep well) - in bulk it can be about $2/L - if you can get them in bulk at the end of the season from a grower/farmers market - it can be cheaper again
I just looked at exchange rates & I guess at 'normal' rates it is a bit more expensive than bought - but it is all natural, with no additives in it & you can make as much or as little as you need at one time. If you can get them at end of season, or market rates i think it would be quite competitive - and better again if you can grown them yourself0
