information I did not need

Our family is a big milk drinking family and consumes gallons and gallons in the states.  Since living here, that has been a problem.  The milk does NOT taste the same except for one or two kinds that are close.  It must say “fresh milk” or it could be milk powder, or frozen then reconstituted…all nasty options, trust me.  So, we bite the bullet and pay the big bucks for the teeny containers of fresh milk and cut way, way back on our consumption.

As I was reading through my friend Beth’s blog, I saw her calculations on the price of milk here in HKG.  It was information I did not need.

Here is what she said…

I buy milk in 946ml cartons so that is about 1/4 gallon so when you do the math or is it maths (British say maths) and then convert it works out to . . . really I shouldn’t do the math. But since I already did, I might as well tell you - $9.61 for a gallon of milk.

Surprised

    We are not milk drinkers, but we still use our fair share in cooking. We can’t buy fresh milk here. But it’s okay. I don’t mind the vacuum packed boxes at all. Not being a milk drinker, I can’t tell the difference.

    If you get a cow, you could help my city girl daughter learn her animals.

    Yikes, we don’t use much except for cereal and cooking. My 3rd child though LOVES it so he’d have to cut back. :-P

    I think that’s how much each gallon of goat milk costs for Karin to produce. She shared some ‘goat-gurt’ (I’m sure you’d love it!) with me the other day. YUUUUMMMYYY! Boy was it goooood! :-)
