Using it in recipies is the best, or use it 1/2 and 1/2 with regular milk for the kids to drink

Right now they are having a 10% off your order sale and the cost per gallon with a case is $1.59. Which I think is great. We live in an area where 1 gas station puts it on sale 1 time per month for 3 days at $2.49 otherwise we pay 3.79 on average.

We do not drink the powered milk but use it for Mac & Cheese, pancakes, waffles, breads, muffins you name it. The breads and other foods all taste the same and for the longest time noone in the family even knew we made a switch. That is until husband signed for the delivery one day and opened the box. But he was ok. The company we order from is great and has a flat rate shipping on all orders regardless of size of $4.49 to all US states. THey are fast and offer great products!

Can I ask which company you buy from?

Thanks for these suggestions!! I have a big box of powdered milk in the pantry I bought for a recipe and its still in there. I usually have to buy 4-5 gallons of milk each week so I really appreciate these suggestions to stretch a gallon longer! I am definitey planning on cooking with it more, and trying to mix it with regular milk to drink.

How long will an opened box of powdered milk last? (Shelf life)

Awesome idea. I never thought about using it to bake with. I'm going to have to give that a try! Thanks!

I don't know if what I saw was UHT milk, because I don't know what that is, but when I was at Walmart Sunday I saw some milk that was on the shelf. It was located above the powdered milk and it was in a cardboard type container (like chicken broth comes in). I wondered what kind of milk it was. Hope this helps...... I will look more closely next shopping trip.

I read that some people add a little bit of vanilla to powdered milk they are drinking straight, to improve the taste. In the same book, it suggested serving it ice cold for the best taste. I've only used it to bake so far, and that worked great.
