OP, why not just buy a thermos and send whatever milk you ordinarily buy to use at home? Much easier, cheaper, and less wasteful.


This is what we do and we pack the lunch with a blue ice thing so that we give any leftover milk at dinnertime.

No. My kid wouldn't drink it.


Mine won't, either. I don't think it tastes that different, but he will not touch it.

No.

We just send water. It's totally fine. The kids don't NEED milk, but some parents like to send it.

Horizon comes in 1%, but it's not lactose free.

Milk is the main source of calcium for my 5 yr old DS.

The lunch line. I've heard that kids can spend 75% of their lunch waiting in line just to buy milk.


That was our issue too.

The 16-count boxes were on sale at Wegmans last week. I bought two boxes!

They go on sale at Whole Foods every once in awhile.
