Milk help (the kind that comes in cartons...)

bb_n_jp · October 2011

I've been trying to buy organic milk, but at $6 per gallon, it's killing me. We go through four gallons a week, so that's almost $100 a month on MILK. Geesh.

Any suggestions? Ideas where to by cheaper milk? Should I just bite the bullet and stop buying organic? I can't afford this (and these boys are only getting bigger...).

Thanks!

How much is the organic from TJs?

Personally, if I thought organic milk was getting too expensive, I would switch exclusively to Clover brand non organic. Its local (all sonoma area cows) not treated with hormones, the cows roam, etc. And, from what I have heard and read, some of the farms are so close to being organic but just don't have the certification. And, when there is extra milk from the organic cows, it goes to the non-organic cartons. I like how Clover is all smallish, family farms

I'm no help. I paid $7 for a half gallon of raw milk the other day. I don't do that very often though. Usually I just buy TJs regular (non organic) milk since it has no BSTs and I'm not a fan of hyper-pasteurization.

Whole Foods has one that is in the 3 dollar range. I don't see my receipt but I think it was 3.59 or 3.99.

Are you buying lowfat milk? I know the Costco by us has lowfat organic milk, but don't know the price or brand since we still buy whole milk.

Clover non-organic is just as good as organic - and they have really cute billboards. Still not cheap but it's about $4.50 per gallon. Not much more than the grocery store brand though.

Yep, this is what I usually buy too.
