Save Money by Freezing Milk

Yes, you CAN freeze milk…and it tastes just fine. Every two weeks we get a few groceries at our local Costco Wholesale store. I can get two gallons of milk at Costco for the same amount as I pay for one at other stores.
There’s one catch, however. By the time I am ready for the next Costo-trip, we’ve gone through our two gallons…and then some.
One afternoon my husband suggested that we freeze the milk. "Won’t it explode?" "Won’t it taste watery?"….It’s worth a try, I thought.
It worked great. When we were half-way through with one gallon, I would "defrost" the second one in the fridge. We gave the frozen one a good shake…and it tasted just fine!

Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator. The milk will still have the same nutrients, but it may separate. If it does, shake well or beat with an electric mixer or rotary beater.
With milk prices skyrocketing…I would say that "necessity" is an understatement.
