I'm not sure which ng to ask this question in, but it's related to homes
but not to repair and it's related to food but not to cooking.

I use Costco milk and cream (the real stuff, 100% stuff, not the watered
down stuff) for my ice cream and coffee.

I live a score of miles from the nearest grocery store (other than a 7-11
gas station complex about a dozen miles away at a highway exit), which
makes a round trip for milk an hour in transit (there's generally no
traffic unless there's an accident).

For emergencies for the milk for ice cream and coffee, I have resorted to
canned milk (both types) but they change the flavor too much (they're not
really milk at all, it seems).

Then someone suggested "powdered milk", which I went to the grocery store
to buy, only to my horror to find that it's far more expensive than fresh
milk! (About $18 for 20 quarts worth of the powder.)

Normally the "crap" solution is the cheapest, where I was in for a shock
that the price for that crap powdered milk solution is more than twice the
price for the fresh milk solution.

Why?

Do you find the same price disparity where you live?
Is there any other "emergency milk" solution out there?

soy milk, oat milk, various nut milks are ok at times.
i don't much like rice, but even that is ok.

when i wasn't drinking much milk i'd buy the powdered
stuff and while it may taste different it isn't too bad
when added to other things. the key is the water and
then refridgerate for a while.

No, 2 quarts of fresh milk here is $2 for the cheapest store brand.
Powdered isn't much cheaper but it is not more expensive.

Whole milk is processed quickly and bottled in volume at large plant.
Powdered and canned do not have the same volume and require more
processing time, energy to dry and heat.

You can freeze milk but it will affect the texture.

We use very little milk. usually buy a quart for $1.19 at the
supermarket. Monday I happened to be in WalMart so I figured I'd get it
there. The do not carry quarts, but a half gallon there was only 80 cents.

My mom used to feed us milk from powder in the 50's. It was cheaper, and I didn't like it,
but it wasn't as bad when ice cold, and I guess it had the same nutritional value as milk.
I think it was for about a year, and probably due to high milk prices.
I only pay 2 bucks for a gallon of whole milk, so wouldn't even consider it now.
This one has decent reviews on Amazon, but it's still about 4 bucks a gallon.

You can try self-stable milk i.e., milk that doesn't require refrigeration. It's sterilized milk in a heavy duty container. It should keep for about 6 months but my guess is that it will keep for longer than that. It will probably taste more like regular milk than canned or dried milk. I don't know how much it would cost on the mainland. What I do know is that a good price for milk on this rock would be 5 bucks a gallon.

I didn't know the Chinese were into milking cows...

https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/dybretail.pdf

Advertised Prices for Dairy Products at Major Retail Supermarket Outlets
ending during the period of 10/19/2018 to 10/25/2018

The national weighted average advertised price for conventional milk
half gallons is $2.37

Is Walmart's milk like their meat -- 20% water added to enhance the
flavor? I recall a First Communion primer illustrated adultery as a man
in a mask pouring water into a milk can. I guess for that age group it
was better than discussing the sex habits of presidents.

I live in the wrong place. 80 cents a half gallon, $2 for a gallon...
The USDA says the national weighted average advertised price for
conventional milk half gallons is $2.37 this week so I guess I'm lucky
to pay $1.98 a half gallon.

UHT, ultra high temperature, pasteurized milk.
Sold in a box container, but whole and non-fat varieties.
Does not need refrigeration until opened.
Might be hard to find--last seen at the dollar store.
Tastes far better than reconstituted powder milk, but not quite as good as fresh.

Dietitian made us switch to almond milk. More expensive than dairy milk, but with a substantially longer shelt life.

There was another name for that, also, ???, but it seems to have faded
away and your name is all that I can find. Requires no refrigeration.

I've had canned condensed milk and powdered milk once or twice. I was
amazed at how little they tasted like milk.

Can't you just get your milkman to leave both milk and cream?

I buy Saco Mix 'n Drink powdered milk for "emergency supply"; it is $3.99
for 3, one-quart packs at the supermarket I shop. Given it is non-fat, I
can't see it being used for ice cream; but, for most uses I find it quite
good. It doesn't have the strong caramel back-note that most canned or
powdered milk products do - there's some, but not as strong as in other
products.

We don't drink milk so I keep dried in.

You surely don't drive 40 miles just for milk? Get milk while buying
other food supplies. Refrigerated milk stays fresh for a week.

Cost of processing, and volume of wet milk required.

UHT longlife milk. Still tastes different from fresh, but better than
canned or dried. It's wet milk and a sealed pack keeps for 6 months,
unrefrigerated.

It takes a lot more milk to reduce it to a powder, however it is they
do it. Evaporation, for starters.

I did look at the price of powdered milk once, don't know why because
I loathe the stuff, but it was quite pricey.

People freeze milk, then shake it once it thaws, I've never tried
that, myself.

I tried a teaspoon of it (the powder) in coffee one morning.
Thought it might do like the powdered Coffee Mate. No. It wasn't
good at all. You need to rehydrate it first before using in
coffee.


> People freeze milk, then shake it once it thaws, I've never tried

I buy half gallons mainly for morning coffee and occasional
cooking. First thing I do when I buy a new one is to freeze a few
small containers (6-8oz) just for emergency coffee milk in case
my main bottle starts to go off before I get to the grocery
store. It's fine for that use and probably for cooking too.

I've even added a TBS of vanilla ice cream to coffee for
emergency dairy a few times. lol

Back when I was a widdle wun (the 1960's), powdered milk
was about 1/2 the price of regular.

We'd (or rather my parents) would add it to macaroni and
cheese and it was ok for that.

About a decade ago I priced it at the market and saw, like
you did, that it's more expensive.

I have absolutely no idea why and how this was and is
the case. There's so much gov't price fixing and support
in milk pricing that there's plenty of questions
involved...

It might also be supply and demand. If there's little demand for
powdered milk (from consumers; obviously industrial food operations
use a lot of it), the price would tend to rise.

When we ran out of milk, my mother would occasionally whip up
some powdered milk. We all hated it so she didn't bother too
often.

I figure do the math and see how much milk it would make when
reconstituted. In the end it's probably quite a bit cheaper
than fresh milk.

You'd think so, and again, that was the case
a, err, well, half century ago.

But no more. The powdered milk, per quart equivalent,
is more expensive nowadays.

(At least in the multiple areas I've checked. Given
the very convulted price fixing, etc., there might
be sections of the country which are different).

You've led some kind of over-sheltered life if your idea of an emergency

Sure, just turn the clock back to 1966. That's the last time I saw a

When we had young children at home, we had home milk delivery. That was
25-ish years ago and there were a couple of dairies that offered home
delivery. When one of them gave up, the other took over delivery to those
customers and continues delivery to this day. The biggest change is, when
we had the service long ago, there were two delivery days per week to the
area, today, there is only one. However, there is the full range of dairy
products available today, pretty much anything available at the supermarket.
In olden days, we didn't have 100+ variations on yogurt, ersatz milk, etc.

It will be 2 deliveries a week. Milk in Glass Bottles!!!!

LOL not seen that in years) I don't know yet what else will be on offer
but I guess I will find out I am very pleased though))

We always had our milk delivered until 16 years ago when we moved
here. At that time there still was a local milk delivery service but
the charge was so high I didn't bother. The same local milk was sold
cheaper in the local supermarket so eventually the dairy gave up home
deliveries. Now it sells all the locally-produced milk to the icecream
and cheese makers on the island. Wet milk comes from the mainland.

The house we live in was designed by a builder to please his wife.
One of her requests was a walk-in cold pantry in the kitchen.
On the (north-facing) outer wall of the pantry he made a small double-
door access hatchway, the outer door was a ventilated wooden louvre and
the inner one was a flyscreen. Both doors had springs. The milkman and
butcher delivered goods through the hatch straight onto a marble slab in
the pantry.

Uh, is this correct?

In PA milk is price controlled. I can never figure out why gasoline is
cheaper than milk...

When my parents bought a house in 1969 there was a milk delivery service
we tried for awhile, although the milk was frequently sour.

Then my mother got powdered milk for awhile, to save money. It tasted
terrible.

UHT milk is something I've tried recently. Better than powdered, but not
very good.

You answered your own question. You can thank the Pennsylvania Milk

We had the insulated galvanized metal flip top box on the porch for
deliveries - most houses had them (ours sat out there for at least 5
years after our most recent delivery).

It used to be milk in glass bottles but at some point in the
mid-late 70's they switched to the plastic jugs. I think the
dimensions of now ubiquitous standard size gallon plastic jugs were
based on the dimensions of these standard[?] milk boxes. 4 jugs fit
perfectly inside the milk box.

It's better for you. Cow's milk is good for infants and calves.

Dairy fat prevents type 2 diabetes a lot.

Why is a 'milk' made from a nut better than natural cows milk?
