We don't go through milk equally. I sporadically use some milk for
cooking/baking and will very occasionally have some milk with dry
cereal but I don't drink milk. My wife doesn't drink milk either but
she goes through about 1/2 gallon a week for her tea and coffee, I
drink coffee black, I don't drink tea. The gallon size would sour
before she could finish it so she keeps one 1/2 gallon in the freezer.
We tried buying the one gallon size because it costs less but more
often than not it sours before it's finished so tossing some out there
is no savings.
