Reminder: You Aren’t Saving Money by Buying Dried Milk If You Buy It in the Smallest Package.

by Little Miss Attila on March 30, 2010

Particularly if you’re comparing it to the cost of fluid milk bought by the gallon, rather than by the half-gallon. (I know I shouldn’t ever buy those half-gallon containers, but once in a while the price dips a bit, and I love the fact that they fit in the door of the fridge.)

Of course, dried milk is still awesome inasmuch as you can make just a little bit stronger, by “rounding up” the measurements, and you’ve still got nonfat milk in your hands, but it tastes just a bit richer than natural nonfat milk.

And, yes: I realize that if I buy my dried milk in bulk at the health food store I can bring the price down without all this sweat—but it is much, much harder to mix that type up, versus the instant stuff from the supermarket. I might even have to use the blender to make that work.

I’m thinking the solution might be to get the instant-type stuff, but buy it at a warehouse store or restaurant-supply shop.

Because I drink a lot of milk. A lot.
