\"CartonI\u2019m always delighted when I do something to make my life easier and then find that it saves money, too. In this case, I\u2019m referring to freezing milk for later use.<\/p>\n

Milk can be easily frozen.  A quart sized canning jar is perfect for freezing milk.  Be sure to leave room in the container for the milk to expand as it freezes.<\/p>\n

When milk freezes, over time the fats in the milk separate from the water in the milk.  To avoid this, freeze milk for very short periods, such as 2 -3 days.  Alternatively, you can vigorously shake, stir, or blend the milk after it is thawed to redistribute the fats.<\/p>\n

The best way to thaw frozen milk is to put it in the refrigerator overnight.  Larger quantities of frozen milk may require longer than a night to thaw.  An alternative is to put the sealed frozen milk container in a sink or bowl of cold water to thaw.<\/p>\n

At my local grocery stores, milk is currently on sale for $2.50 a gallon.  That translates to $.156 per cup.   Freezing a quart of fresh milk to prevent it from spoilage and resulting waste will save $.62 (4 cups @ .156\/cup)  Freezing and later using a quart of milk each week would save $32.24 a year, or the equivalent of over 12 gallons of milk a year.<\/p>\n

Even better than the money savings is the convenience of always having milk for cooking and eating.  No more special trips to the store for a gallon of milk!  That is a big time saver.  And hey, that saves gasoline as well.  Now that\u2019s The Fat Dollar way.<\/p>\n
