DH may be (slowly) getting on board. Used to be that he didn't think anything was worth doing if it only saved us a few pennies. Last week he noticed that milk by the gallon was .10 a quart cheaper and suggested that we get a gallon and set it aside in 1/2 gallons, the way we usually use it.
To that end, we bought a 1/2 gallon container, made sure it would fit in the door of our fridge, washed it and the put the milk in it (with a date sticker on the top). The few days that this has been in the fridge it has been fine, so he just bought another 2 quart bottles (the market didn't have a 1/2 gallon one). So we're going to try this. If it doesn't work...we'll have lots of water bottles for the summer to carry around in the car. If it works, we'll save $$ all the time on a regular purchase.
The milk thing isn't so important, but we used to have "heated dicussions" about whether or not it was worth my time to try and save a few pennies here, a few pennies there.
With luck, I won't starve to death in my old age!
