I am absolutely positive this is the definition of #firstworldproblems. Jamie and I agreed that we were at a crossroads.Īrg. So my thought process a few days ago was all “There is no way we can boost our already-high monthly grocery budget 50 extra bucks just for milk!” and then was all “But if my kids drink that much, they might as well get as much of the good stuff as possible, right?!” (Side note: My girls each drink three cups a day, and Jamie drinks one tall glass every night with either a sleeve of Oreos or two PB&Js – ha!) Fairlife has 13 g of protein and 6g of sugar, compared to Walmart’s 8g of protein and 11g of sugar.Īnd this is where ignorance used to be bliss because I never second-guessed the milk I was buying $9/week was enough! But now we’d be looking at $21/week (almost $50 more per month!), and that just seems crazy! What floored me though was the comparison of nutrition labels.
Jamie and I also burst out laughing when Hadley took a sip of her milk during dinner a few nights ago and out of the blue said “Ohhh dis is so creamy and yummy guys!” Our three year old could taste the difference! She quickly pointed to the “creamy” milk (Fairlife). SO delicious! Jamie agreed, and so did my kids! In fact, I poured a little bit of each kind of milk into separate cups and let Hadley have a sip of both, and then asked her which cup she wanted. I’m not a big milk drinker (except in shakes, which is why we have almond milk), but as soon as I tasted the Fairlife milk, I could taste the difference. A half(ish) gallon (seven cups) of Fairlife whole milk was $3.50.ĭo the math: Fairlife is more than double the milk we regularly buy (we always stick with the store brand)! I was intrigued though about what the fuss was about Fairlife, so I decided to quickly grab one Fairlife whole milk, two of Walmart’s brand of whole milk, and do a little research later (i.e. Last Friday we did our grocery shopping at Walmart for the first time in forever, and when I went to grab our weekly three (!) gallons of milk, I noticed a brand of milk that I’ve seen more and more people talking about online lately – Fairlife.Ī gallon (16 cups) of Walmart’s brand of whole milk was $2.98.
