Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

Pre PeaPod days...

I remember going to my grandparent's house and the milk man would deliver glass bottles of milk that had the creme on top. Yum!

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

no but I love milk in glass bottles..tastes so much better.

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

When I was little, waaaay back in the 70's we had a milk man and he brought milk in these glass carafes. I remember one shattering on the kitchen floor once. And the milk box was just big enough for me to use as a seat (back in the days when my butt was small). The house we lived in at the time had a skeleton key lock on the front door too.

Good memories.

we had a milk man in the early 80s. They weren't glass bottles though.

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

I miss getting milk delivered.

My neighbor (I live in Bay Shore) gets milk delivered in Glass caraffes. She has the little metal box outside her front door and I see the milk guy every now and then. I should ask her who she uses....

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

My MIL still gets milk delivery, it's Byrne Dairy milk in glass bottles (don't know the company she gets it through). They have the metal box outside too, and every Weds., she gets a delivery. I guess her parents used to get it when they lived there, then she just continued it...she says that she thinks she's the guy's only customer, she feels bad cancelling it. But, this is her last week because she looked it up, and she's paying ALMOST TRIPLE what milk costs in the store!! Crazy!! She just felt bad all these years and never cancelled for that reason only.

Marcus Dairy in Danbury, Ct offers home delivery. I saw their truck the other day, and it got me wondering if they would deliver to my area. They def deliver to Westchester, CT, and Putnam.

I do remember home delivery my grandmother used to get it
and my mother always talks about being the first to get to the bottle back in her day to get the cream on top.

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

I wish I could find a place to buy the milk in glass bottles. I wouldn't even care about it getting delivered.

I remember Dairy Barn used to carry the glass bottles.

A friend of mine has this service.

It was always great to wake up hungover at her house because every Sunday there was fresh milk, the most amazing bread, eggs & cheese at her front door!

Yummmm.....

Our neighbor used to get milk delivered. I thought it was the coolest thing.

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

I remember this. We used to have a box outside our apartment door (we lived in a 6 family walk-up over a hardware store). We got fresh milk every day. I'm going back to the 1950s. I, also, remember seltzer and soda delivery. We would get this once a week.

I used to LOVE Dairy Barn milk in the bottles!! do you remember having to bring them back for a deposit??

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

I wonder if I bought a glass pitcher and put my milk in that...would it be the same as the Diary Barn milk??

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

probably not, but if you try it let me know how it tastes!

Re: Does anyone remember getting milk/bread/etc. delivered?

We still have milk delivery, they come around in a mlk float at around 6/7 am (I know because it makes a very distictive noise which I hear most mornings) and they deliver milk, cream, yogurt, juice and bread. We also have a service that delivers tea and biscuits! Its so cute!
