You can easily buy yogurt at your local grocery store for $5CAD for 750ml, but just for fun you can also try to make your own yogurt at home, in a Crock Pot. It is surprisingly easy to do, and the yogurt comes out very delicious. The cost was $1.83CAD for 1.3L of yogurt, excluding electricity costs. This is very economical.
Think, you would, that two brands of yogurt that are both 0% milk fat, that they would taste the same. But oh no, they taste very different. We usually buy Yoplait Source Zero yogurt, but there was a sale at our local Chinese store on Astro Original with 0% m.f., so I bought some. It turns out the Astro is terribly sweet, and for good reason: at 12 g of sugar, or 1 tablespoon, it has 3 times the sugar than Source Zero. We won’t be fooled again by Astro Original.
Neilson Dairy in Canada will discontinue yogurt production. Damn.
Why I cannot say, but Neilson Dairy‘s yogurt here in Canada is being discontinued. I know this because I have been trying to find their yogurt for about a week now and there is none to be had. Today I called Neilson’s toll free line (1-800-672-8866) and was told the yogurt line has been discontinued. No reason stated. No alternative product suggested.
