The milk is thick and rancid. Why can't I ever finish a milk carton before it goes bad?

Answer 1

The grocer will always keep the older milk in front of the newly delivered, check your dates.

Keep your refrigerator set at the right temperature and the milk toward the back of the box.

Use only skim or 1% (not 2%) ... these are the best for you and keep longer.

Milk is actually a food not a drink, try it with Carnation Instant Breakfast, Ovaltine or even best Spirutien, from Nature's Way a great burst of energy!

Answer 2

There is something between your saliva and the milk cultures that speed up the aging of the milk. Sooooooooooo don' put your mouth on your milk carton and I bet your milk will last a tee bit longer. Or I bet it'll taste like the first glass taste; every glass. And you'll drink more cause it taste better then you'll just need to buy plastic jugs;BUT REMEMBER to keep your mouth off the jug also.

Answer 3

Whatever size you buy save an old carton. Wash it out and save. Next time you buy milk take half of it and pour into the clean container. Now freeze....yes milk freezes very well.
NOTE: it seems to take an extra long time to defrost.
I also freeze milk in ice cube trays then bag the cubes up for use in mashed potatoes and gravies.

Answer 4

When I had bunches of kids in the house milk never lasted long enough to go bad, it flowed in great quantities through the milk drinkers like Niagra Falls. Now, its just me and I buy milk in pint bottles unless I'm making soup or puddings. Don't laugh, the smaller the bottle, the better it lasts. Give the bad stuff to the dogs or put it in the compost.

Answer 5

When buying milk, look at the expiration date on the container, to see if the milk is fresh when you buy it. Fresh milk should last two weeks in a icebox. Try buying a quart or half gallon if a gallon is more than you will use in that amount of time.

Answer 6

LOL, I'm the same way! If I buy a gallon, it's too much and gets sour. If I buy half a gallon, it's not enough.

I usually have to go get milk between regular grocery trips. It wouldn't be bad, but I always end up buying a bunch of other stuff, too!

Answer 7

Have a grocery store employee get you the freshest milk from the dairy cooler, turn the temperature down in your refrigerator, and put the milk right back in the refrigerator as soon as you are done using it. If it is stored properly, milk can last several days after the expiration date.

Answer 8

Try down sizing it to smaller more reasonable size. I have the same issue though. The amount of milk I waste would be enough to open a store with. When I try to downsize it. It seemed like it wasn't enough..............Trust me I know the feeling. Try using it for recipes that involves more milk before the exp date.

Answer 9

The well being branch would not propose leaving foodstuff out for extra desirable than 4 hours. foodstuff that's over forty-one F for under 4 hours desires to have the temp dropped all the way down to forty-one F as immediately as conceivable with the intention to be secure.

Answer 10

wait until you have kids, you will be buying it two or 3 times a week.

when you buy it, you could freeze a portion of it. i always stock up and freeze when it's on sale.

I don't like milk, so...
when i was single, i used powdered milk. it keeps well and saves money in the long run.
