sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, get "hard" and stink it up, my drill sergeant used to say.
BTDT.
coming from a large family with 12 (TWELVE) siblings, I know what it means to be on "that" side of the "B" word too.

Nah, just buy regular milk, take an empty jug and dilute it. That'll save you an average of $1.50 a week!!!!!

Ugh, no joke. I'm cleaning up my floor, I couldn't hold mine in. Nasty.

sorry to disagree with some of you, even if I didn't prefer the taste of reconstituted powdered milk, if it saved $20-$30 a week - that is something that might should be considered.
One person might save a buck-fifty for a single person, but not for a large family.
I would guess that at current prices of milk, right now that large of a family might be spending over $50 and possibly as much as $100 a month on milk. that is not an insignificant amount.

Or you could try cutting pop/soda, some snacks, going out to eat, from your budget..

I literally did throw up the first time I tried it.

And I throw up terrible . . .

That stuff will also cut some room from your waist. Literally!

Don 't care for the powdered stuff myself either, but it CAN be used in cooking without being as problematic.
BUT
I'd say there are less drastic ways of cutting your budget, which are a better bet, because they will be much easier to stick with long term.

Hey, newsflash! Milk is not really good for you. The vitamins and minerals that it does have are found in so many other foods. Then your body doesn't have to scramble and fight all the other stuff that milk also has.
Humans are the only creatures that continue to drink milk after they are weaned.
Milk is designed to do one thing. Make a 50 pound calf a 400 pound cow in 6 months.

I bought some powdered water but I couldn't figure out what to add to it.

That might explain some of the women that I've dated.
