I'm not sure which ng to ask this question in, but it's related to homes but not to repair and it's related to food but not to cooking.
I use Costco milk and cream (the real stuff, 100% stuff, not the watered down stuff) for my ice cream and coffee.
I live a score of miles from the nearest grocery store (other than a 7-11 gas station complex about a dozen miles away at a highway exit), which makes a round trip for milk an hour in transit (there's generally no traffic unless there's an accident).
For emergencies for the milk for ice cream and coffee, I have resorted to canned milk (both types) but they change the flavor too much (they're not really milk at all, it seems).
Then someone suggested "powdered milk", which I went to the grocery store to buy, only to my horror to find that it's far more expensive than fresh milk! (About $18 for 20 quarts worth of the powder.)
Normally the "crap" solution is the cheapest, where I was in for a shock that the price for that crap powdered milk solution is more than twice the price for the fresh milk solution.
Why?
Do you find the same price disparity where you live? Is there any other "emergency milk" solution out there?
