We are a family of 4 and usually drink 1 gallon of milk a week. My kids don't drink a lot of milk unless they are having cold cereal. They tend to drink more water than anything else.

Family of four we go through 1 or 2 gallons as week. Depends on the week.

Family of 4, about a gallon every 3/4 days. My kids are allowed to have cereal in the morning and then they can have a glass a milk, but after that it's water or tea.

Family of four, maybe one gallon a week. I don't drink it, kids get plenty at school and I limit its consumption at home. It's ok with meals, but if your thirsty - water is the thing to drink.

We got thru 2 a week unless my husband is home then its 4. He can drink 4 huge glasses a day if I don't limit him. If there is pop in the house milk sits untouched.

We're a family of 5 and we drink 3.5 gallons a week. I buy 2 gallons of skim for the kids and I and 1 gallon of 1% for dh. We all have it with cereal, and then the kids have it with dinner and lunch, if it's a weekend. The youngest wants it all the time, and I certainly allow that. The rest of the time we drink water or Crystal Light.

We are a family of 5, we go through about 1 a week. I rarely buy cereal though, I don't like milk, my teenager drinks soy milk or tea, and the kids drink a lot of water.

0 gallons -- No one here drinks milk. I use powdered milk for cereals and such.

**thesightofoneself** · 04-05-2009, 09:13 AM

personally? zero
but my mom does go through about a gallon a week

**Momto2Boyz** · 04-05-2009, 09:16 AM

We used to go through about a gallon a day or more. But I've cracked down on the milk drinking. I know that sounds bad, but everyone is still getting a healthy dose of milk each week.

I buy 2 gallons of 2% for the kids and 2 gallons of skim for me and DH and that is all she wrote. If we run out before the next grocery trip, then we just make do!

i buy a gallon about every 2 weeks for dh... he likes milk but i hate that he drinks it....(i live in the camp where i think milk is bad for adults ..even organic... and bad for kids in general because of all the hormones & antibiotics being passed thru it....unless you are doing organic...unfortunately who can afford that.....)
