    But "покупать хлеба и молока" sounds strange (at least for me), "покупать хлеб и молоко" is preferrable.

    So I meant it also depends on the aspect and (probably) on the verb. But I am not sure yet, I'll try to examine more examples before I come to a conclusion.

    Maybe some other Russians know how to explain it?
    Розенталь думает, что дело здесь в полном или частичном охвате предмета действием (родительный части):
    И точно, покупать - это вообще, не часть чего-то, а купить какую-то часть.
