Powdered milk vs liquid milk costs - what's the difference for you?
(On mobile, apologies for any formatting issues.)
I'm curious, because one of the recommendations I see fairly frequently is to switch to powdered milk to reduce costs. Where I am in Australia it's barely any difference for a product with a significantly reduced taste/quality.
Here, powdered milk is $10 for a bag that makes 7L of milk, working out to $1.43/L. Shelf stable UHT liquid milk from Aldi is $1.85/L, and the cheap brands of fresh milk range from $1.65-$1.85/L depending on the size you buy.
So it is cheaper, yes. But the powdered milk has a terrible aftertaste, and does not froth properly in my milk frother for my coffee, so the 22c/L marginal savings feel pointless. I'm wondering if the difference in price is more significant in some places in the world? Eg if powdered was half the price I'd probably consider using it in at least some applications in my home when the taste isn't as noticeable, and use fresh when it matters like in coffee.
So I'd love to know three things:
\-where are you in the world?
\-how much does powdered milk cost per unit (L/gal) when mixed up?
\-how much does liquid milk (shelf stable and/or fresh) cost per same unit?
