you can make almond milk though for really cheap! well as cheap as the almonds. get some close to raw almonds and soak overnight, drain and rinse and put in blender with fresh water, puree, use cheese cloth or a nut milk bag or tea cloth or something to drain the liquid from the nut pulp and squeeze all the extra liquid, then you have almond milk. i make it chocolate milk by pureeing the milk with dates and cocoa powder but could use syrup or something else instead just as easily. i love almond milk you can do the same with any nuts or seeds, pumpkin seed milk is also very tasty and pumpkin seeds are cheaper than almonds.
