Then if you are a person that lets the Marketing/advisers sway you... they milk you dry in your weekly shopping trip!
1. I don't care about marketing. I have never cared much for the taste of cow's milk, unless it's in the form of cheese! Therefore my preference is for something that has similar properties to cow's milk, but not the taste.
2. Could just be me, but I find that an opened carton of almond milk last me two or three times longer than a regular opened carton of cows milk, thus actually saving me money in the long run.

That's another good point, it does last longer once opened. We don't have kids so we throw away milk a lot )I still buy regular for my fiance). I can't even remember the last time I had to throw away opened almond milk.
Walnut milk. Almond milk (sweetened, unsweetened, flavored for coffee, etc). Oat milk. Soy milk. Flax milk. Etc.
I get that some people are lactose intolerant; and there have been milks without lactose for years. I get that some people are allergic - that's been true fir years as well.
So what's causing this rather recent proliferation of this stuff? Vegans? Plant based diet fans?
