Last comment on powdered milk I promise. I stumbled on this today. She does a good job on describing the diff btw powdered mill and moo milk alternative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlSUc2uk5_8

I like this post – I need to buy a couple of boxes of powdered milk someday.

I like your creative ideas for using it. If we were ever in a crisis situation we’d plan to use it for cooking and not straight drinking, I think.

I’ve heard about Morning Moos (maybe from your site?) but somehow I thought it wasn’t actual milk, but some kind of powdered, blended drink!

For a while, the Costco off I-10 in Houston carried Morning Moo Milk. It was a large bucket of powdered milk substitute. It costs about $1 a gallon and tastes a little better than regular powdered milk.

3.49 per gallon on sale. We use dry for rice mixes, pudding, and hot cocoa as well. I basically use it with everything but not straight. My family would rebel! I get the bulk size at Costco and freeze it to prevent spoilage but it can loose vitamins if frozen to long though.

I admit that I am not fond of it either, but you are right about it being great to cook with!

Believe it or not I actually have kids that prefer it. I do keep it on hand for cooking and such. If I am out of regular milk it saves me that trip to the store and thereby saving some money.

Thanks for the tips!

I was floored when I got milk the other day – $1.89 a gallon!

Powdered milk is always good to have on hand though. I’ve never had a glass of it, but used to always have it on hand for things just like you said – mashed potatoes, cooking, etc.

Yeah, you really have to price out fresh milk before you go buying it because it seems like it would be cheaper.

Strangely, my 2 and 4 year old LOVE drinking powdered milk. It makes me want to gag as a beverage but they actually ask for “milk in a box”.
