In these times, many people are looking to stretch their dollars or soon will be. There is a very easy way to stretch your milk dollars. When you buy a gallon, after you pour the first couple of glasses out of it, simply fill it back up with water and shake. If you buy whole milk, it would be like the first two glasses are whole milk and the next two, closer to 2%.
A number of years back, I stopped using cow's milk. Before I did, I added water to every gallon to stretch it. I saved a lot of money that way. You can hardly tell the difference if you get the ratio right and it tastes just fine!
In recent years, for health reasons, I switched to almond milk. I also added water to that and saved money there as well.
If you don't like or want almond milk and want to make your own homemade "milk", you can make oat milk.
You just put some water and a small handful of quick oats in the blender with the other ingredients, blend and voila! It works perfectly and amazingly it is MUCH cheaper than almond milk!
If you want to make oatmeal milk that is strained, you can follow this recipe or the many other variations of recipes online:
There are so many ways to save money. There are pennies, pennies everywhere!
Happy Savings!
