I LIVE as though I won't be able to get to the store for a month, all the time! I keep shelf stable milk and powdered milk on hand, and usually keep two to three loaves of bread in the freezer. I am almost ALWAYS ready!
And when we get snow here, we get lots! Lately I've seen December and January pass with very little snow...but we always have a whopper of a storm in February.

@4meAndyou I heard an older woman in Walmart telling another how she kept milk in her freezer for when there was bad weather forecast. She’d buy half-gallon jugs and open each one up and take a little out, like a half cup and put the lid back on and freeze them. When she needed more milk she’d take one out the night before and put it in the refrigerator and the next morning shake it up to dissolve any ice crystals and use it like that. I might do that with half-and-half sometime if we are due for a big storm.

@4meAndyou It would taste a lot better than powdered milk. I’ve heard that they put monosodium glutamate in it, which might explain why it has a bit of a bitter taste. I should be freezing buttermilk, it’s hard to finish an entire carton when I just need a couple cups.

@cherokeepatti I had to use the powdered milk for a couple of weeks when I ran out of money, and I can't really taste any bitterness. The only thing I've noticed is that it is a bit more watery than regular milk, and doesn't make my mouth sticky after I drink it.
