[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those with young kids stressing about milk: it freezes very very well.  Buy the plastic jugs, not the paperboard boxes, and pour out the top few inches into a different container to allow for expansion, then freeze.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree with your suggestion.  There are plenty of milk options that don't require freezing and you will need all the freezer space you have for things that do, butter, meat, bread, fruit and veggies.[/quote]

Please share these suggestions. I have been having a hard time finding shelf stable milk that doesn't come in tiny boxes and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.[/quote]

Prices have probably higher these days but usually shelf-stable milk options are in the baking aisle. You have cans of evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk, powdered milk, and 32floz parmalat uht boxes. You can also get 18-packs at Costco or 12-packs at the supermarket of the horizon kid size (8floz) boxes, but those have the shortest shelf life of the whole list, maybe 5 months from purchase.[/quote]
