Freezing milk when it’s on sale can be cost efficient for budget savy shoppers. Where I live milk is about $3.10 a gallon. So to me, it makes perfect “CENTS” to stock-up on milk when it goes on sale?
The good news is freezing milk does NOT change it’s nutrients, the only thing that happens is reverse homogenization, which makes it turn yellowish, but that’s only because the fat separates from the milk. When this happens, simply give the thawed milk a good shake before each use. Once milk thaws out, the color will return back to normal.
A few other tips to remember, first, do not freeze milk after the ‘best before’ date. Ideally you should start freezing milk as soon as you get home from the grocery store.
Next, it is okay to freeze milk in plastic containers; however be sure to pour out a cup of milk then recap and freeze - this allows room for expansion. Milk can be frozen and stored for up to 3 months at 0F or lower.
To thaw out milk, simply place the frozen milk in the refrigerator for 2 days. Do not use hot water or any other source of heat to thaw. Once the milk is thawed, it is generally good for 5-7 days.

Freezing Solutions while saving BIG $$$


First of all... don't you just LOVE California grown veggies?! I love the variety of colors and the different types of healthy meals I can make for my family. I don't particularly like cutting veggies, but I certainly enjoy pounding away on my vegetable chopper. You might think I am weird, but I think it is so fun to buy veggies on sale. I often buy different veggies on sale, just so I can freeze them. Did you know that you can freeze a variety of vegetables? Some of my favorites are artichoke, asparagus, beans, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, chayote, cucumbers, fennel, garlic, onion, spinach, sweet potato, and zucchini. For more tips on freezing veggies, simply post your request. Today's TIP ON FREEZING VEGGIES is RED PEPPERS. Wash, remove seeds and cut into slices or leave whole. Place on a tray in a single layer. Freeze for 30 minutes. Pack in freezer bags, remove air, label and seal. Freeze up to 6 months. THAT'S IT!!!
