How long do you use your milk once opened?
I'm sure I will get heck for this but since I buy two gallons of milk at Costco and since I only have one cappuchino per day plus about 3 ounces in my breakfast cereal, I portion out the milk. I use mason jars and freeze them. Depending upon size of jars, I take one out of the

Fancy milk?
