Nasty surprise this morning, the milk had gone bad! Naturally, I had just poured myself some. Milk going bad is another reason I don't like Dollar General. Instead of being good like a week after the due date their milk always expires on the day of. Good thing I got some of those little creamers for coffee when I was at the outlet yesterday. Have a happy and blessed day.

I haven't had bad milk in a very long time, but that terrible taste remains in my memory.
I actually picked up a single serving carton and took a big drink of it, but had to spit it out as it was so terribly spoiled.
I have never bought a carton of milk since. I try to buy it only by the bags since then.
I hope that the rest of your day is less eventful.

bags? I don't think I have seen those. Most of ours comes in plastic bottles or cartons.

@snowy22315 Bags are the popular way, because of the cost, to buy milk here in Ontario.

I haven't had milk go bad before, but I have run out of milk in the middle of pouring some in my cereal. In those instances, I always reach for the liquid coffee creamer and use that to continue filling up my bowl of cereal.
I have never shopped for food/drinks at any of the dollar stores because I can just never bring myself to trust those types of places.

You probably would if you had to drive 8 miles to the grocery store to get a banana or something. Actually, I lied a bit..one of the convenience stores sells bananas for a highly inflated price of course.

@snowy22315 That is true. No matter how rural of an area you live in, there always seems to be a dollar store nearby! lol

Oh yeah, I have kind of a love, hate relationship..mostly hate. It was good when we got one out here though..because when you run out of something you don't immediately have to drive 8 miles to the Food Lion, or go to the rip off convenience stores. Milk there is a small fortune. I wish DG had fruit though..and milk that lasts longer than the date marked on the bottle.

This doesn't have to be long life milk, but it should be like normal milk and be good a week past the date marked on the carton.

We get a small carton of milk every day with our Meals on Wheels. I save it for our housekeeper's mother as she gives it to her Pomeranian. I don't drink milk anymore. Have a good week.
