Wasting creamer for coffee

[Anonymous]

Every creamer I buy says "Use within 7 days of opening" on the bottle. The one I have now has 59 tablespoons in it. If every coffee drinker uses 2 tablespoons for a coffee, that's 30 cups of coffee! A family of 2 would NEVER finish this in 7 days, and I'm the only coffee drinker in my house!

Do you hold your creamer longer than 7 days? Buy cheaper creamer? Buy smaller bottles (does this exist)? Make your own?

you can freeze in little cubes, or
Not sure what creamer you use but I buy whole cream and use extra to make ice cream

Creamer is gross. But a pint of half and half.

If you must sweeten, then sure. Or make simple syrup and keep it in the fridge.

I weened myself off creamer. Now just sugar. The trick is to have good coffee.

I just use it until I finish. The seven days is for maximum quality. It doesn't spoil or degrade that quickly.

What kind do you use?

Of course, it took no time at all for someone to judge your choice and not answer your question.

This. Or better yet, drink it black.

Not sorry. That stuff is nasty. You’re pouring sweetened vegetable oil into your coffee. (Likely with artificial flavors.)

I am also the only coffee drinker in my house. I buy Chobani creamer and definitely keep for longer than 7 days. It’s never gone bad on me in the time it takes me to drink (probably 3 weeks).

You could also buy a pint of half and half and sweeten with maple syrup.

I use it for much longer than 7 days and I'm not dead yet. Though I buy oat milk creamer, which may be different.

That stuff is so artificial it’ll take FOREVER to go bad.

I used to like the flavored creamer - then switched to half and half and now find it so sweet. But if you like it, carry one!

You could also try half and half and some flavored Torani syrup.

You do you, but don’t worry about the creamer going bad in a few weeks.

Switched from creamer to half and half years ago, but with two of us drinking two cups each, we would totally use that amount in a week, fwiw.

Agree that it will not go bad in that time, though.
