Milk is sold in bags in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, but it could be approaching its expiry date. Part of the reason is changing consumer habits.
“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”
While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.
I mean there’s the wasted cost of feeding extra cows, processing excess milk, and probably throwing out that percentage that is not being drank as well. Let’s see if/how prices accommodate the change.

Instead of buying 4L (they are in 3 bags) of milk for $7, you will need to buy 2x 2L tetrapak at $5 each.
It’s just for money that they are ending bags.
