[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJs milk is cheaper but goes bad much faster than a traditional grocery store.  Why do you think that is?  Is it older?[/quote]

I have no idea, sorry. I don't buy milk that frequently but when I do, I haven't had that problem. Is it all kinds, or a specific kind (like the organic 2%)? Maybe it's the specific store's refrigeration? [/quote]

Different poster, but we have had this problem with TJ's milk for the last decade or two. It's less of an issue for us currently, as one of my kids drinks a lot of milk and helps us get through it fast. But before this, we'd avoid the milk. [/quote]

Tangent but we also avoid FreshDirect milk.[/quote]

I get my milk delivered from a local farm.  It's extremely fresh and minimally processed, and it goes bad way faster than grocery store milk.  Any milk that last a long time is heavily processed and probably has added preservatives.  [/quote]

Sigh. This is such a great thread.  Milk that lasts is ultrapasteurized, which causes flavor loss but it is just heating. No preservatives.  Let’s keep to TJs. [/quote]

Original question asker here.  We are very low volume milk drinkers.  A regular quart from Giant can be fine for 2 weeks.  A TJ milk is more like one.  I have to say I have stopped buying milk at TJ so maybe my observations are dated.  I really like TJ but not for milk, produce or bread.[/quote]
