It might even be an L.A. County thing. This happened in Long Beach. A very posh area of Long Beach, I might add. But sandwiched in between sketchier areas

It was shelf stable milk. it was good for a year or so.

How long past expiration did you go ?

I buy a few of those to put on my hurricane shelf in May and usually toss them when hurricane season is over.

6 months? I'm pretty irked at myself for not noticing, I would have used them because they tasted like real milk. Live and learn.

I brought one as back up milk for camping for DH, and he tried one and it was lumpy. I tossed them all. I hate wasting.

I double checked my nut milks and such and they are still within expiration, but I'll need to use them soon.

Thanks for the video!
The tone of my response varies with the type of issue/question I am addressing. For example, if it is a serious, thought-provoking matter, then my response will be equally serious. However, if it is a silly or nonsensical question, say for example some conspiracy theory matter, then the tone of my response may be somewhat sarcastic.

And sometimes it is more than just somewhat sarcastic.

You can also freeze skim milk just fine (whole milk tends to separate).

Right, but you can just shake it up after you thaw it out. I've done this many times.

Hurry! It jumped from around 4.60 to $5 overnight just a few days ago. My state was talking about removing the tax for a while to lower prices, but it hasn't happened yet.

I have a small chest freezer, but it's really hard to find stuff in there. I should have bought a stand-up.

Georgia did that awhile ago, but I believe it is due to expire next month.

The Florida legislature and the Florida governor just approved a one month - - - and one month only - - - pause in the gas tax, but even though prices are soaring now, it is not going to take effect until October. I suppose it is only a coincidence that the reduction in gas prices will occur in the month leading up to the Nov. 8th election.
