saving on milk

I've found two ways to save on milk costs.

#1 If milk is on sale, but extra and freeze it.  It may take close to a full day to defrost, but tastes perfectly fine.

#2 Buy whole Vit D or 2% and cut it in half with water.  I use a washed out gallon jug of milk we've just finished and fill it half way with the milk and then top it off with water. (Actually, I go about 2/3 full).  Obviously, I do the same with the other half of the milk.  You still have the same nutrients, it's just that your milk's fat content has been cut in half.

It's important to leave room for the milk to expand in the bottle, so pouring out a bit before freezing is helpful. Also, those thin plastic milk jugs can get holes in them easily, so be careful. Been there, done that!

I was so excited when I went to Aldi's and saw that milk was $2.49 again. Oh, happy days! They don't have 1%, but they do have 2%. We water it down a little too.

I was so excited I put it in my blog!
