Our Co-op is only 3 minutes walk away, but we get milk delivered because it comes before I get up, and I got fed up of having to go shopping before having my breakfast because one of the housemates (or me!) had finished all the milk the previous night. I really don't function well until I've had breakfast, and I like porridge or cereal if at all possible.

It also means less rubbish for us, as we return the bottles. We recently got them delivering orange juice as well, which is also in returnable bottles, which cut out another source of rubbish for us (and means I rarely miss my morning OJ hit either).

It's definitely more expensive than even the local Co-op, and it has gone up this year (with an apologetic letter explaining so) but it's still not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, and we can afford it, and it makes us happy.
