I've heard when you leave it in the fridge over night the taste really improves.

Powdered milk in the stores here is very expensive.
I have some given to me every once in awhile that I use for baking and for the kittens to drink

That is great Tammy. Those food budget dollars really add up. Every bit of savings we can eek out of them deserves a kudo.

**Telephus44** · 05-25-2005, 08:09 PM

That's great! I have a hard enough time drinking 1% milk, I don't even want to try powdered! Good for you!

**Chea** · 05-26-2005, 09:17 AM

Def something to think about for me. I might have to try this -- esp with the way the cost of milk has been.

**Mom23boys** · 05-28-2005, 07:56 PM

That's a great way to save. I use it for cooking. I haven't been brave enough to add it to the drinking milk yet.

**ScrapMama** · 05-28-2005, 08:01 PM

Good for you, I need to give this a try.

**frugalandsimple** · 05-29-2005, 07:57 AM

I have had powered milk before and it doesn't taste to bad epecially if you let it get cold in the fridge

WTG!

I do this every once in a while. We don't go through enough milk to make the effort worth my while lol. We barely go through 4 gallons a month between the 6 of us.
I do use dry milk for cooking & making milk based soups, etc. I get a big can of dry milk powder for just under $5 and it makes just over 5 gallons. Can't beat that!!
