So I'm always looking for ways to save or stretch our dollars. You have inspired me & educated me in so many areas. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I always keep powdered milk in the pantry for when we go camping. It's a lot easier to mix a little water bottle of it up-than waste or spoil a 1/2 gallon. I'd never thought of baking with it.

We ran out of "real" milk this morning and i never even thought about mixing powdered milk for the cereal. hm.<BR/><BR/>I also keep a tub of powdered buttermilk on hand, too. I love the taste and texture of buttermilk pancakes, but I don't want to have to use a quart of buttermilk in a specific amount of time.noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587354790255284059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-55947766165346335832008-09-24T10:26:00.000-07:002008-09-24T10:26:00.000-07:00Powdered milk is good for making evaporated milk. ...Powdered milk is good for making evaporated milk. If your recipe calls for 1 cup of evap. milk, take a cup of milk and add half a cup of powder to it to make it the strength of evap. milk. Keep the half again ratio for whatever amount you need. It's cheaper than buying the evap. milk and takes less space in your cupboards that you need for more important things like chocolate chips.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347670233081879979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-79537090313772141892008-09-24T08:52:00.000-07:002008-09-24T08:52:00.000-07:00Milk in my area is about 2.75 a gallon to 4.00 a g...Milk in my area is about 2.75 a gallon to 4.00 a gallon where i am so powdered milk isnt really cheaper for me if i buy milk for 2.75. I can get powdered milk for $5.30 a box to make 2 gallons which equals out to $2.65 a gallon. It depends a lot on what store you buy milk at and what state you are in i quess.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546041936524873230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-81844409420927193132008-09-24T03:54:00.000-07:002008-09-24T03:54:00.000-07:00Is powdered milk really less expensive then regula...Is powdered milk really less expensive then regular milk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-20075823717280916102008-09-24T02:34:00.000-07:002008-09-24T02:34:00.000-07:00I have to jump in with a comment about powdered mi...I have to jump in with a comment about powdered milk. I grew up in a large family and my mother bought whole milk and mixed it half & half with reconstituted powdered milk most of my life. She mixed the dry milk with water and got that cold. Then she added it to the whole milk. Though we used the milk in a few days, it never soured. I think 2 or 3 days would be perfectly ok if you are Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-21337685456445745142008-09-23T23:39:00.000-07:002008-09-23T23:39:00.000-07:00Cool, thanks for the tip!Cool, thanks for the tip!Maggie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05584727724844508218noreply@blogger.com
