Make the Milk Last

I like milk. So does my wife. So do our kids. We drink a lot of milk in our house. Not as much as I would if it came out the tap, but still a lot. So we notice when the price of milk goes up, as it has in the past year or so. We’ve started a practice which may shock and disgust some of you, but it works. We buy powdered milk. Yep. I know it sounds gross, but it’s not bad. To mitigate the strange taste, we mix it with real milk 50/50. If you buy powdered milk in bulk from food storage suppliers, it’s much cheaper than the real stuff. You follow the directions to mix the powder with water, then mix the fake stuff with the real stuff and let it sit in the fridge overnight. This cuts probably 30-40% off our milk expenses.
