I found that living on my own, and not being a great milk user, fresh milk often tended to not be used by the end of the week; so now buy full cream milk powder or “long life” milk when on special. Both are cheaper than fresh milk and I can use the powder for […]

Milk powder is about half the price of fresh milk. Make it up at least half an hour ahead and the flavour is not “gritty”.

For about 30 years, we’ve been mixing up our own milk from milk powder. I buy it at $7.19 (currently) per 1kg. This mixes up to around 10 litres of milk. We have 2 x 2litre lidded jugs, and as we empty one, it is thoroughly washed and new milk made. We never run out […]
