I hope everyone here who drinks oat or almond milk realizes how marked up those milks are and figures out that purchasing those nuts or oats in bulk, and then just making your own alt milk, is way cheaper and actually really easy to do.

Who the fuck has the time to do that and clean the mess though? I barely have time to have fruit for breakfast

I mean, you can just make a large amount of milk and keep it in the fridge just like you would with any other food prep. Its not something you have to do every day. Maybe once every couple of weeks if you drink a lot.

Reminds me of sushi. You can make your own sushi for like a fraction of the cost

Sure, if you can shell out 360$ for a blender (that's the one that's linked on the site you linked).

Also, while it's still marked up and doesn't enjoy the same government subsidies, plant milk can be cheaper than cow's in many places.

You don't really need the Blendtec blender, though. A $30 Oster blender will do just fine.

I got my blender at a thrift store for $8 and it works just fine
