Is A Storm A Coming?

I don't drink a lot of milk anymore but I used to buy gallons when my children were young. I'm sure with your big family you are a familiar face in the supermarket

We do not drink milk at all and we are only two, my grocery shopping is very limited.

We used to buy a lot of milk when our 2 sons were growing up, but not so much anymore.

When my children were young i would get comments about my grocery cart. People asked if I was shopping for a month.My children had healthy appetites.

There is only the two of us so our shopping doesn't usually excite any comments - except that sometimes we buy 4 dozen cans of tuna when they're half price. .

i think i only drink about a glass of milk a week.

you do have a rather large family though and that makes sense to keep these essential staples on hand.

WOW! That is a lot of groceries, Kim! (I'm sure I'd be looking at your cart and wondering if you were stocking up for a few months, at least!) No, Pretty and I use a couple dozen eggs a month, maybe a half-gallon of milk in a month and usually one and a half loaves of bread in a month. Nobody even looks at our cart when we are stocking up because of a big storm. (Not that we've ever stocked up for a storm, but sometimes I will go get an extra dozen eggs, if I've been craving omelets. ) Pretty and I don't drink milk. Pretty will use some over cereal, but we don't use it for anything else, at all. Not even in our cooking. We use Almond Milk in our cooking.

I do eat a lot of eggs and buy them by the 5 dozen box from Wal-Mart. Milk and bread are off my diet, though I do drink cashew or almond milk now and love them both.

Its just my husband and I in the house now so I am lucky if I shop once a month now but I can't imagine buying that much milk at one time. You must have a couple of refrigerators just to hold it all

We don't drink much milk . But we did and our kids did growing up.

Each of us here at home have our own kinds of milk. My son has the powdered milk,I have the skimmed milk,my sister has the low fat milk.

No, I hardly drink any milk at all. I sort of drifted away. And no, we get no comments on our grocery (sometimes up to three carts). We will shop sometimes for 3 months altogether with non perishable items...because making grocery is such a chore! Other people do the same.

Every time I stocked up the household grocery, people often commented too. I don't buy lots of milk or bread, but tomato cans, soup cans and cleaning agents or things in the kitchen. God knows what I really get each time, it depends on what we need at the time.

I could only imagine the faces of the clerks! I watch a few large family shoppers over on Youtube. Jammerille is one of them. I can only imagine getting that much at one time.

As a big boy or a small horse, I am a huge consumer of milk. I drink two gallons a day usually chugging a jug at a time. It is crazy for a normal person, but I am not a normal person. It wasn't easy at first but the more I craved milk, and the more I kept growing, the easier it became to drink a gallon of milk down from one day to minutes. Now, it is normal for me. No, my milk consumption does not help the grocery bill but then again, I live by myself and spend about as much on food as a family of four would in a week just for myself. Most people just say that 'well he is a big boy', or 'you must play football' or 'I can't imagine how expensive it is to feed you' or 'you can probably clean out my fridge in a day'. The milk chugging is funny because people worry if I get hit by a car, the car will sustain more damage than me. I like my expensive habit.

I stopped drinking milk when I have tasted coffee and milkshake already. The milkshake has milk at least. I am not into drinking milk anymore. The doctor told me to drink a high-calcium milk but I just requested that she prescribe me a calcium supplement instead.

lol No but people have had the nerve to ask my daughter if all those kids are hers, (she has 5) I told her I would have said no I just picked them up in the parking lot!! When my 3 kids were small we had milk delivered and it was 5 gallons a week.

Yes, for just a couple we drink what others consider to be a lot of milk. But I beg to differ that there are a lot worst things that we could be drinking, and milk tastes SO good!. I've always had comments, do you run a day care, and things like that. And of course I buy a lot of other dairy products, cheeses and yogurt.

My first thought is "how many kids do you have?" I grew up in a home with 8 children, and we went through at least a gallon of milk a day. Of course now that I see your user name, my question is answered.
