Cooking Tips: Buying milk

Nonfat dry milk is the least expensive way to buy milk. When using it as a beverage, mix it several hours ahead and refrigerate so it can get cold before drinking.

Buy fresh milk in large containers (gallon or 1/ 2 gallon). These generally cost less than quarts.

Buy fat-free or lowfat milk to cut the amount of fat n your family's meals. (Note that children under 2 years of age should be given only whole milk - not lowfat.)
