| are you talking about the Horizion milk that does not need to be refrigerated? I know you can get it at whole foods and costco. |

OP here... No, I'm actually referring to the ones you refrigerate. Schools offer it during lunch but my child takes her lunch and the school will refrigerate her milk..
I can't find it anywhere. I remember when you could even get it at your local grocery store! Thanks! |

why not a little thermos or even water bottle to pour regular milk in? My son uses the Foogo straw bottle.

| They have organic boxed milk in the organic section and I was also surprised to find giant brand boxed milk in the baking aisle- near the evaporated milk and concentrated milk. The giant brand is much cheaper. |

The Horizion milk is great.
I buy them at Costco.It is similar to the one you are talking about.The ones they sale at school,in my opinion is a little hard to open. |

Yeah, you'd save hundreds of dollars over the course of the school year by filling a reusable container from your regular carton of milk. The Container Store sells great non-leaking ones that they call something like "reusable juice boxes." They're lunchbox size, cost about $3, can go in the dishwasher, and are made of polypropylene, which is very safe (no BPA).
I hate to sound pollyanna-ish, but think of all the waste that we wouldn't create if every child switched to a reusable milk container. |

By the way...you do not have the school refrigerate the milk.
When I buy the flavored milk in the little cartons (regular milk i pour in the thermos) and when i buy the small yogurts...i put them in the freezer...take one out ...put it in dd's lunchbox....thaws by lunchtime and is still cold.... |
