Who got in on this buzz campaign, and have you gotten your milk yet. I got the coupons, and bought it one half gallon at a time. Only 2 free coupons. The first time I got my girls to try it, and they loved it. I went with the 2 percent, and they thought it was so creamy, that it tasted more like whole milk. I can't keep them away from it. My 16 year old son wouldn't try it, and got mad after her found out I snuck it into his cereal. I poured my husband a glass of it, and asked him how he liked it, and he said "Wow, it tastes like milk." Me.
I can't afford to buy this very often. Even with the 55 cent of coupons it is rediculous. But I might at least buy the store brand milk when it goes on sale. Or buy the Horizon with the coupon once a week for my 3 year old. But the older girls will probably scarf it down.

Hi! I'm on this bzzcampaign too. I had never tried it before because of the price. I have a 2 year old DS. I just got my coupons and bought one of the free half gallons this week. I bought the whole milk. I really do think he likes it better. Usually, he just kind of sips at the store brand milk. With the new milk, he guzzles down the entire sippy cup. DH isn't getting any of the new milk - store brand only for him! It is really expensive here. The half gallon was $4.05!!! This is hard to justify when a whole gallon of store brand is $3.99 or less. In fact, our Kroger runs milk specials on half gallons frequently and that is usually what I do. I'd love to give DS the benefit of the DHA/Omega 3 but I think I'll just have find other foods and do it that way.

I only get the Horizon when it's on sale. It only comes in the half gallons and it's just too expensive. Since then I've tried the Meijer Organic 2% and it tastes even better. It comes in gallons. It's still more than regular milk, around 5.50 a gallon.

For omega foods--the kids like fish sticks. I use flax seeds in muffins. They're supposed to be real high in omegas. Walnuts, soybeans, dark green leafy veges are good too. I use Smart Balance Oil with omega all the time. I use the margarine too. The kids like it. We sometimes get soy milk (soybeans are another good source).

everyone at my house now loves this milk. it is like $3.59 a half gallon and if giant eagle double my coupons taking $1.10 off half gallon on sale w/55cent coupon = $2.49 half gallon.

I'm on this one too! My family loves this milk but I cant afford it on a regular basis. I was so happy to get those free coupons. I did give away the 55 cents ones though. i cant justify spending that much on milk when we drink as much as we do. up until i got the coupons my kids got it as a treat once in a while when i went to starbucks :D

Thanks for the imput ladies. I saw Meijers Organic milk on sale for 2.50 a week or so ago, but I didn't try it. I think I will try it now. I may splurge and use a few of my 55 cent of coupons and get the Horizon milk a couple of more times for the little one. But I don't go to Krogers often, and Meijers doesn't have it.

I am on this campaign also. Was excited about this one because we are trying to go more organic. Just received my coupons and have not been able to get out to get it yet. There are quite a few places around us that have it. As soon as it stops snowing I am going to go and get it.

Have you tried the Horizon chocolate milk? I was having trouble getting my 4 year old to drink her milk. She LOVES it.
