Save Money With Canned Milk
We were recently given a bunch of canned foods by my mom. It is great having a large selection of canned foods and I have started expanding the variety in my cooking. Included in the collection of cans is several cans of evaporated milk. It got me to thinking about the utility of this form of milk packaging.
Evaporated milk is milk with 60% of the water removed. This means you can pick up a can of evaporated milk and add water to reach one quart. It may not taste as great as fresh milk, but it does provide the nutrients the kids need in milk.
Sometimes, we add a 50% powdered milk with 50% evaporated milk combo and it really saves money, especially with the high price of milk. We keep the re-hydrated milk in the refrigerator for a few days and the kids get the milk they wanted. We have overcame some of the off-taste by adding chocolate syrup to the milk so it’s a chocolate drink.
