The price of milk is killing us with four kids. Our (almost) four year old drinks a lot of it by himself. Aldi will a lot of times have it for very cheap and I’ll stock up. I found out you can freeze milk and I’ve got four gallons in the chest freezer in the garage. Last week I picked up whole milk for 99 cents per gallon (near the expiration date, but going in the freezer).
The prices I quoted were on the civilian side. We get whole milk for about $3.00 per gallon at the nearby Commissary at the military base.
Our 16 year old son hits the milk pretty hard. I do not drink it as much as I used to. Vegetables, on the other hand.....
When my grandson was in Alaska a gallon of milk was 10 bucks. He would buy it at near expiration for much much less and stick it in the freezer to use later.
If you are willing to shred the cheese, you can freeze it.
Shred and freeze=money saved.
