When I was single, I just bought 1/2 pints of half and half. I've never liked the flavored crap.

Right, but milk almost always does go bad within that time frame. I have yet to find a creamer that is rancid after a week — or even 3 weeks.

Wasting coffee by adding creamer is more like it.

I use Silk almond creamer that is dairy free and I’m the only coffee drinker in my house and have 1 cup every day. I know why they do it, but It would be great if they sold smaller bottles.

I feel like it is good at least a month from opening. The only think I adhere to the use within 4 days (or however many) days from opening is deli meat in a package- which is rare I buy anyhow. But I feel like it gets gross immediately

Isn’t “creamer” or “with cream” synonymous with half and half? It certainly is at Starbucks and Panera.

"Creamer" would typically refer to non-dairy creamer like Coffeemate or the flavored stuff.

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

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

Seed OiLs!

I don’t care about the seed oil aspect, still think it’s a gross combo of ingredients to put in my coffee.

OP I love me some creamer and since it isn't real food it will be just fine. I only have one cup in the morning. My nasty sweetened seed oil coffee additive lasts for weeks.

This. Or better yet, drink it black.

Not your coffee, not your business! Notice I am not trying to convince you to drink it with half and half!

+1. Do people not read these labels? Any sweetened cream is nasty.

This. Especially for summer when I'm drinking iced coffee or wanting to sweeten lemonade etc., but it's so useful to have around anyway. It takes so little to sweeten anything, it lasts quite a long time. I make a 1 cup water/1 cup sugar batch and it exactly fits in one of those squeezy bottles they sell for ketchup, which make it easy to squeeze very small amounts accurately.
