    Give me half a liter (about two cups) of milk. I can’t count how often I have opened a liter pack of milk for something and then had it go bad because I didn’t need it for anything else. There are a few premium brands that sell milk in smaller quantities but those are way more expensive than one liter of the cheap store brand.

      I noticed the grocery store near me started selling precut eggs by four instead of a dozen which is great since you usually only need like one or two eggs for baking stuff

        One hint for anybody who is going to start buying eggs in smaller quantities… double-check to make sure they’re not already hard-cooked.

            Ah, that makes more sense. I thought it was the eggs that were cut, but then you start talking about baking with them and that stopped making sense.

      Consider ultrafiltered milk. It’s higher in protein and lower in sugar, and lasts much longer.

      I use it to make my morning coffee and even though I use a small amount every day, I always finish it before it comes close to going bad. The only issue is that it is more expensive, but I’m also not wasting any.

      I can get a pint of milk where I’m at. Only whole milk though. Great because we just have it on hand just in case the kid still gets some calories if they dont eat enough otherwise. And ofc the vit D/C.
