We'd buy a 1L carton and rarely finish it before the best before date. LO drinks whole milk, so we just all drink that if the mood strikes, or I need to use it in something. Before she was around though, we used skim. lemondrop on "What kind of milk does your family drink?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-does-your-family-drink/page/2#post-2044607 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 21:10:38 +0000 lemondrop 2044607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We drink while cows milk.

Very occasionally I will make a glass of chocolate milk. DH goes through milk really quickly, he drinks it plain or uses it to make protein shakes after workouts. He uses 1%. So we usually have a gallon of 1% and a half-gallon of skim in the fridge. ETA: Does anyone else think the word "milk" looks and sounds really weird the more you read/say it?
