So, as I'm trying to cut back the grocery budget, it occurs to me that we're spending almost a tenth of our grocery budget PER MONTH on milk. With milk at $4.25 a gallon (or MORE), and our consumption rate at 2 gallons per month ... that's almost $10, out of a $100 budget.
That just won't do.
But how do we cut back on milk? Do we start drinking less milk? Do I start skipping it on cereal, in coffee, as an ingredient?
Nope!! I found a solution. Dried milk!! I can buy nonfat milk - the equivalent of about 3 gallons (I think) for less than $2.00! All I have to do is mix in the water and presto - instant milk!
And, using the non-fat powder to make the equivalent of skim milk - I save on calories, but improve on the taste. Powdered dry milk is creamier than skim ... so a little better tasting!
I don't know whether to applaud myself or wonder what kind of an idiot didn't think of this sooner.

do you have a costco in your area? we buy 2-1 gal milk for $3.50 or something like that. Does the dry taste as good as the liquid?
