Vacuume packed milk

[asirimarco]

We finally found vacuume packed milk again at a Kroeger - a must for us to have around as I very seldom use milk but when I want it it is nice to have. The brand is Lil'Milk by Farmland. It is liquid and comes in 8 ounce containers, 3 containers to a package. It can be stored without refrigeration for a long time, just on your shelf. However once you open a container it goes bad within a week. Thats why I don't get the quart containers. It can be found in the baking section of most stores by the canned milk. Hate to have to buy a quart of milk, use a cup then have to throw the rest of it out cause it spoils.

I'll have to look for that - I have been buying powdered milk to use in recipes, etc - cuz I don't drink milk and was throwing it away every time I bought it for one little thing. Thanks for that info - I'll look for this.

Thanks for the info. I, too, don't drink much milk and hate throwing it out. Will definitely look for this for cooking.

I've seen that stuff at my grocery, is it like real milk or like canned milk?
If its like real milk and I could put it on my cereal, that would be great stuff.
I like real milk but its expensive when I waste so much to spoilage

could have sworn I answered this yesterday but guess the gremlins got it.
Yes it is REAL milk and it is 2%. Tastes just like regular milk - I can't stand the taste of skim, powdered or canned milk and I like this. Also comes in chocolate. Really handy to have around. Especially for cooking.

I have had this kind of milk before and I like the whole milk, it looks like the cartons of soy milk but just a bit smaller. I got hooked on it in Mexico. I found it in bulk in Valdez Alaska and had enough pkgs for 3 gallons of milk but because it is super pasturized it does not have to be put in the frig till you open it. Great way to stock up on milk , I'll have to see if I can find some more and stock up. I usually buy mine in Mexico for 83 cents a carton

Also another brand is Parmalat. That brand comes in whole, 2% and skim,.... in either the quart or small sizes. Small size comes in the three-pack. I always keep some on hand. Be sure to check dates! Tastes exactly like fresh milk.

I bought this stuff in a military commissary when I lived in Hawaii in the early 80's. They kept recalling the milk for pesticide contamination, so I tried Carnation powdered milk...Yuck! I discovered, however, if I mixed it with the milk in the cartons, and drank it very cold, it was pretty good. Had to do what I could to stretch a dollar!

I found this at WalMart also and those are pretty much everywhere. It's usually over in the baking aisle near evaporated milk and such
