Indeed! Føtex has done it, I was just this morning over there, and found it:

21 kr for mælk, jeebus wept. Ironically prices for alcohol has stayed largely the same in the last almost 3 decades.

2,81 euro for 1 liter milk?! That's steep.

That's about as expensive as our A-brand oat milks (which got subjected to extra tax last year due to heavy lobbying from our farmers, who seem to have big issues with milk-alternatives)

1 liter Arla milk in my local supermarket is 1,77 euro. And that's because Arla is considered an A-brand here, house-brand milk is 1 euro for 1 liter.

That's the advantage of having a ~~monopoly~~ price leadership. Arla sets a new price, and all the smaller dairies that are left just follow suit because they're already scraping by. Besides Arla there's just 7 left, only 2 of them somewhat competing, in Denmark.
