2 Gallons of Milk - $2.75

Yes, that's right my pals!  Our family drinks a lot of milk so I had to figure out a way to reduce costs without cutting off the milk supply.  We were drinking Horizon Organic which I loved but I have made the switch back to non-Organic milk from Aldi.  Their milk is kosher which means it should not have any GMI (genetic modified ingredients) and it's super inexpensive...so for now that's good enough for me but maybe I will try the mixing with some organic milk in the future.  Anyway, you can get whole milk for $2.75 or fat free skim milk for around $2.30.  We have been buying the fat free skim milk but I had read another blog a few months back about mixing whole milk with water in order to get 2 gallons for the price of one.  So I tried it this morning and it's a little watered down but much like the skim milk we had been drinking.  Don't forget if you have small children they need the nutrients the whole milk offers so don't mix theirs.

This trick works with O.J too.  My husband normally mixes his glass of O.J. with water anyway so once we drank about 1/3 of the gallon I went ahead and added water in and so now he doesn't have to do it and the gallon lasted us a little longer than normal.
