Struggling to Keep Milk from Going to Waste?

My family never guesses milk right—some weeks we run out in two days, others we toss a full jug. But I found a fix: freeze it!

How to Freeze Milk (Without a Mess):
Pour out 1 cup from a full plastic gallon—milk expands when frozen and can burst if too full.

Storage Options:

Freeze the whole jug.

Or pour into ice cube trays for small portions.

Important: Only use plastic. Glass can crack in the freezer.

How Long Does It Last?
Frozen milk keeps for up to 3 months.

To Thaw:

Place in the fridge for 24 hours.

Or submerge in cold water to thaw in 30 minutes.

Why It’s a Game-Changer:
I used to toss expired milk or make emergency store runs. Now I freeze extras during sales,

preserve leftovers before trips, and keep cubes for coffee or recipes.

Give It a Try!
If your milk usage is unpredictable like mine, freezing milk is the perfect hack. It saves money, guilt, and time.

Now if only I could figure out how fast we go through cereal…
