How much milk does your household use?

[Tonya]

My son drinks a ton of milk, so I just started keeping track of how much he uses. We use 2 to 2 1/2 gallons a week! At $4.00-$5.00 a gallon, that's $8.00-$10.00 a week, $32.00-$40.00 a month!!! I need to buy a cow!

LOL

Even with 4 teenagers in the house, we only go through 1-2 gallons a week.

Unfortunately, I usually end up throwing away half a gallon. My husband will not drink it but only use it in foods. I drink it once in awhile but not very often. I should probably drink more though. You pay $4.00-$5.00 a gallon??? At the store where I work it's only $2.49-$2.69.

I really don't care for milk that much and only drink it willingly when eating chocolate chip cookies, brownies or cake. My husband loves it though and he polishes off a gallon in about 5-6 days. Speaking of which, I just used the last of it last night to make pudding so he needs to get some more on his way home!

My hubby and I drink milk with dinner, we always have both Chocolate and white milk in the fridge. I would say we go through a 1/2 gallon of each a week. So about a gallon a week.

1/2 gallon of Chocolate milk is $2.49
1/2 gallon of 2% milk is $1.99.

Wow... looking at the price difference now that I typed it out....why don't we just buy chocolate syrup to put in our white milk!?!? (duh Angie...)

[Tonya]

Gosh! Milk is so expensive out here isn't it?! I believe I paid $4.65 a gallon the other day. I need to analyze this situation! Listening to you all, we should not be going through 2 gallons a week! I am drinking alot more milk then I usually do, but it doesn't seem like that much.

8-10 litres per week, skim milk only. I have no idea what that is in gallons but I buy 2 big jugs per week at least.
Milk is my one food addiction, literally.
I drink at least three glasses during the night and another two before going to work. I literally cannot go through 24 hours without a glass of skim milk. Maybe I need a 12 step program.

edit: just looked it up on the net and that would be 2.64 gallons (all by myself)

It's just my husband and I here and we go through 3 gallons a week. I only drink water, milk and sometimes juice so we really chug through it.

[Christiansmommy]

We typically drink a lot of milk here. Just my hubby and I and our 3 year old...a gallon a week. Probably used to be more, but we are on the South Beach diet, and it is a "no no" in the the first part of the diet, anyway. But we are a family that LOVES our milk. I think it is like $3.50 here for a gallon.

[slleipnir]

12 liters a week..so I guess it's roughly 3 gallons o_O We drink a lot of milk.

[Jods]

We don't drink alot of milk we use it mostly for cooking or when Brian's sisters come over thats all they drink... I've been trying to drink one glass a day.... I'm not doing very well though lol.. I would say 2 liters a week... Just a small carton not the bags... for 3 liters I think it's about 4$ not sure though will check though for curiosity sake

We're lucky if we can get through a gallon without it going bad at my house. Not big milk drinkers - unless I bake chocolate chip cookies!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

We go through about a gallon a week, sometimes more. Most of the time, I subsist on milk (stupid me gets so busy I forget to eat )

I think everyone in my house gets like 1/4 a gallon and I guzzle the rest lol. Its helpful for both me and my hubbys stomach issues though.

We only pay 3.00 at the most per gallon here, and I thought that was a rip off!

[LoudLou]

Can I just tap a vein and main line it frm the cow? I am the only milk drinker here, unless you count the times that Miss Mocha Bean hijacks my glass of milk? I go through 1-2 gallons of milk every other day. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but on average thats about it. I have always loved milk.

lol depnds what we have to cerial, and what people feel like eating we never throw away milk, bad or not, when it goes bad, we make finnish pancakes(the more sour the milk, the better the pancakes taste! I know it sounds gross, but not a single person who has tried them does not love them ) nobody in my house drinks milk alone, we buy both skim, and 2%, mostly we use milk in cerial, and I will drink it with chocolate cookies, otherwise I find milk to be gross lol so lets see about 6 liters will last us all about 2-3 weeks, 6 because my mom buys a 2 liter carton for me, and a 4 liter jug for herself and my brother.
