It is just my husband and myself in the house. I buy at least two gallons of milk a week. My husband is a milkaholic, he drinks milk with everything, it is his beverage of choice. He may be the only man watching the superbowl on sunday with a glass of milk, instead of a can of beer How much milk do you buy every week?

Between my two kids and cooking we go through about a gallon to a gallon and a half a week. I normally get around 6 gallons of milk a month. Fortunately my daughter gets WIC for 5 of those gallons of milk.

Good that you get the WIC, because that really helps.

We go through about two gallons as well. But it is my daughter that drinks it! We even buy powdered milk for cooking and baking because milk has gotten so expensive. But she doesn't drink soda at all, so I will pay extra!

I have been using shelf milk for cooking, and yes, milk is really expensive.

At least one gallon of milk a week. There are three of us and we mainly use it for our cereal and my coffees.

I bought milk twice a month. I am not really a milk drinker but because milk is very important, and my doctor says that I must drink a lot to obtain the daily need of calcium, I make it a point to include that to my daily routine, I just have to close my eyes, LOL!

I'm a lot like your your husband. I LOOOVE milk. I would pick that over any other drink available to me. I used to drink it all the time when we would go out to eat as well, but a glass of milk is $3.00 and a glass of soda is only $1.50 or so. In our house we go through about a gallon every other day. I have been trying to cut back drink more fruit juice and water.

We probably go through three or four gallons per week or more...It would really be no problem for me to drink a gallon of milk per day or more on my own if I would let myself drink that much of it. I love milk, and I drink it all the time.

i'm very lucky i get milk from the dairy i milk at. so it doesn't cost me anything. which is a good thing, we don't get paid that much for milk as it is and costs heaps in the shops.

I dont buy milk unless its to make pudding or something like mashed potatoes. I cant drink it as i'm lactose intolerant and it causes me great pain. I drink alot of water and fruit juices. I used to drink alot of pop but ive cut way way back on that.

We buy two liters of milk every week, we normally use it for coffee and sometimes we also drink some at night. I used to drink a glass of milk every night before, but I stop it.

Hello, I buy 2 gallons of milk every week. That is the one thing that never changes on my shopping list.I am the milk drinker in the family. If we are running out someone needs to make a stop at the store for milk.

In my house I'm the only one that drinks milk on a daily basis. So, we buy about a gallon of milk each week. I love milk. I drink a glass of milk in the morning and another at night. Actually, I can't go to sleep without drinking a glass of milk each night. I guess it's something that I grew up with and I stuck with it. Oh, and of course... it has to be chocolate milk!!

I am a heavy milk drink, and I can drink two gallons a day. I would end up going through on average 12-14 gallons a week. One gallon to me is like an average person drinking a glass. I am a big weightlifter, that's why I drink so much. Expensive? Yes, but it is my preferred fuel of choice.
