1 2 Pint Milk Carton

Post by **WaffleCone** » Tue Sep ten, 2019 x:04 pm

Why do retailers not sell one/2 pint milks in quantity? All the other junk drinks are available but no milk.

We merely got hitting with the first week of school lunch expenses: $55 for 2 simple anile kids. Commonly they pack merely the get-go week is crazy and we hadn't fix restrictions on their accounts yet.

Side by side week they'll be brown-bagging simply one sticking point is the drinks. $1.10 for a milk and sometimes they want ii. Why is it next to impossible to buy a case of one/2 pint milks? I can't even find them at Costco or BJs and they sell obscene quantities of everything else oversized. I get that the shelf life is curt but families would buy this if it was bachelor. Am I missing something? I've been told I demand to setup a commercial account with a diary which sounds ridiculous.

We've tried sending them in with various refillable containers which aren't inexpensive, and over time leak or go damaged or lost. They're boys, information technology happens. Plus the time spent cleaning them if they forget to clean them. Putting it in used water bottles is just eww.

Is there a conspiracy of lunch ladies to corner the market here?

I used to go shelf stable chocolate milk boxes when I was little. The fresh at school newspaper containers always tasted ameliorate. I think the refrigeration was e'er the result.

The only identify I tin think of besides schools with little one-half pints is my local donut shop. If you dont have a wholesale dairy close, maybe y'all could piggyback from a local donut store or somewhere else with a regular delivery?

Bank check Restaurant Depot (if you know a restaurant owner as admission to the warehouse-style shop is restricted) or with a local dairy. This is primarily a food service item simply you lot should be able to purchase some.

I don't want to get into a milk argue. This is ultra-pasteurized milk that doesn't need refrigeration and has a slightly different sense of taste and texture than traditional milks. I know I can go this, powdered milks, and other "milks". To be clear, I'm asking nearly the 1/2 pint or ane pint containers in the paper cartons that every school sells for luncheon.

Wondering if anyone with knowledge of dairy could shed some light here. I know of many people who would purchase a 6 or 10 pack. It would move quicker than some of those other containers in the milk alley. I suspect there is some kind of USDA sticking point, peradventure with labeling, that makes it not cost effective simply would like to know what.

An unabridged gallon of milk is <$two.fifty here. There are xvi 1/ii pints in a gallon.

Love the bluster, merely ...

Teach the boys about saving the environment and maybe they will catch on to re-usable milk containers. When I was a male child nosotros had glass thermos bottles that kept our milk from home cold. And then afterwards plastic Thermos bottles. Ask your mom about that.

Last dark I froze three drinks that I am taking with me this morning on an outing. One can freeze milk.

Besides, aren't your kids making their own lunches? You lot could have a few minutes with a funnel of "Let's fill milk bottles and freeze them for the next week" if you wanted to. And you can get them used to drinking unsweetened soy milk, too. And if they lose them, tough. They get to beverage h2o from the drinking fountain at school. That won't kill them unless you live in Flint or Newark.

Does the school give you an itemized statement showing the luncheon purchases? For my son it is all electronic, the kids accept a lunch account that nosotros fund, and the kids requite the cashier their PIN to pay. Since my son was not handing anyone dollar bills, it took him a while in early form school to fully sympathize that snacks, etc., which apace sew the charges and are non costless. His luncheon cost simply went upward this year to $2.ninety including 1 milk, but an additional drinkable and pack of chips could double the price. One fourth dimension he generously bought snacks for his entire table! Nosotros started taking the cost of snacks out of his weekly allowance last yr, and he got the picture show apace.

Will your children take their chocolate-brown bags with milk in a refrigerator until tiffin time?

If not, I'd either have them purchase common cold milk, or carry a thermos then that the milk stays cold. Seems worth the cost to me.

In my locale, you lot can purchase modest milk containers (usually ane pint) in dispensable plastic bottles. Both plain and chocolate milk. They are in a refrigerated chest adjacent to the checkout lines at the supermarket. I'm not sure you'd run into much, if anything, in price savings though.

We dishwasher our kids thermos all the fourth dimension? It'southward rated for hot - if it just lasts three years instead of 5 I'll be ok with that (nosotros're at two.five now)

But a canteen and straw castor make hand wash quick.

I also curious - volition they be refrigerated until lunch? If non - I wouldn't want to eat it. If it's in a cooled lunch box - not hard to keep a canteen with it.

At my girl's schoolhouse it is all electronic also and they assume everybody is going to swallow breakfast and dejeuner at school so on the offset day every child is charged. We have to call and confirm that she did not swallow the school food and accept the charge taken away. In that location's also been a few other times when she was charged (I got an email notification that she has a negative balance) but they had no record of her eating the food. She takes a lunch every unmarried twenty-four hour period, with a thermos for water, but there have been many times where she decided that she didn't desire what was packed and ate the school lunch instead. We take the coin directly out of her piggyback and brand her pay information technology in person the post-obit mean solar day. Its happened countless times, only it even so hasn't sunk in. I've actually asked if in that location is a way nosotros can become her business relationship restricted and so she tin't buy nutrient, simply of course they acted like fifty-fifty making that proposition that was child corruption.

We did milk at home, juice at schoolhouse. Sometimes individual juice, sometimes in washable containers. Kids stopped drinking juice with lunch a few years back (they're 16 and 13), now they bring refillable water bottles.

They also haven't purchased a school lunch (or milk) in the four years we've lived here. Previous kids/previous schools, I'd allow one hot dejeuner a week, sometimes two. The hot lunches were pricey, and my kids prefer bringing from home.

To answer the OP'due south question, I would write to whomever is the milk producer in your expanse. They'll have a website, and use the contact us feature. Ask them where y'all can purchase 1/2 pint milk. They should exist able to write back and tell you who sells or distributes the product.

I've always had great luck with contacting folks and asking them questions....

In defense force of OP, I have as well been surprised that the only modest-package milk option at every store is the Horizon stuff, which is way more expensive and but doesn't sense of taste as good every bit 'regular' milk. Our kids (3rd class and kindergarten) only become 25 minutes for luncheon at school, and apparently the lunch line tin take ten+ minutes when the food is 'good,' and then we make dejeuner for the kids every day. I would love if they could buy, but they don't swallow fast enough. They become water in a thermos. Not very fun, but good for you and inexpensive! We would send them with 1/2 pint milk cartons if we could purchase them cheap, but they're just not available. And I hate cleaning milk out of straw thermos contraptions, so we'll stick with h2o!

Giving the kids water is the simple solution for the OP.

They don't need to drink milk for lunch.
H2o is ameliorate for them, cheaper, and less of a hassle to pack.

If they really love/must have milk, give it to them with an after-school snack.

Absolutely! If you want them to accept the nutrients in milk at dejeuner, you could include a few cubes of cheese, string cheese, or a small-scale container of Greek yogurt in their dejeuner box,

My 7yr quondam's luncheon is a PB&J, apple (sometimes a banana or orange), an ounce of raw nuts, and a thermos of h2o.

But use smaller slices of bread and fold the meat multiple times to give the illusion of more than meat.

Hopefully you make clean the thermos where the water (and aftermath) was? I don't understand how that would be different if it previously contained milk instead of h2o.

Those bags of meat terminal a good 2 weeks, though, and so it's similar $0.forty/day on the meat (peanut butter would be cheaper, but I'm not a fan of it). Then 2 slices of bread from the cheapest loaf bachelor. Small handful of crackers/chips/pretzels (whichever is cheapest at the time of purchases - and it'south unremarkably crackers). Apple tree. Tiffin for a dollar.

To OP, growing upwards, we always had Capri Lord's day in our sack lunches. In that location was a period of fourth dimension when it was Squeeze-Its, though. Perhaps one of those is cheaper than milk?

Half a pound of meat lasting 2 weeks would be like ane slice per sandwich. That'south a little likewise skimpy for me.

My mistake. I checked the fridge. They're i pound bags. I get almost 3 slices per sandwich.

We simply got hit with the beginning week of schoolhouse lunch expenses: $55 for two unproblematic anile kids. Normally they pack but the first calendar week is crazy and we hadn't fix up restrictions on their accounts yet.

Next week they'll be chocolate-brown-bagging but ane sticking bespeak is the drinks. $1.10 for a milk and sometimes they desire two. Why is it next to impossible to buy a case of 1/2 pint milks? I can't even observe them at Costco or BJs and they sell obscene quantities of everything else oversized. I become that the shelf life is short but families would buy this if information technology was bachelor. Am I missing something? I've been told I need to setup a commercial account with a diary which sounds ridiculous.

We've tried sending them in with various refillable containers which aren't cheap, and over time leak or become damaged or lost. They're boys, information technology happens. Plus the time spent cleaning them if they forget to clean them. Putting information technology in used water bottles is only eww.

Is there a conspiracy of lunch ladies to corner the market place hither?

So if it'southward $1.x for a one-half pink of milk and they each may go two ($2.20 to $4.20 day), if they eat lunch at the same time so y'all're probably ameliorate off sending them with 1/2 gallon or fifty-fifty a gallon of milk. Just partially freeze it so it is kept cold until lunch. I'yard kidding (or am I?).

They can sell the extra for 25 cents a cup. Everybody wins.

Can you list that out? I dark-brown bag information technology and half a pound of dejeuner meat for the week comes out to a little under a dollar a mean solar day.

My 7yr old's lunch is a Pb&J, apple tree (sometimes a banana or orange), an ounce of raw nuts, and a thermos of h2o. A loaf of sprouted breadstuff is $ii.59 (makes ~12 sandwiches), 40oz. of natural PB is ~$3 (makes easily 40 sandwiches), jar of all-fruit spread is $2.09 (makes maybe 15 sandwiches). So a sandwich is ~$.45, an apple tree is nearly $.33, and an ounce of raw almonds/walnuts/pecans is $.25-.$.45.

Yeah, that beats a piece of pizza, chips, and a milk carton at her school for $2.75.

Just curious - where are you getting forty oz (ii.v#) of natural peanut butter for ~$3.00. That is a spectacular price.

Myprotein.com. I've got it for as cheap every bit $two.55/40oz. jar earlier using their rewards plan and 7% cashback using Rakutan and Rakutan CC (was actually xi% back last fourth dimension, as it was a double rewards day)- and so, I've actually gotten information technology for <$2/jar. I'll expect for a bargain and then purchase 25+ jars at a time.
