Saving Money on Fat-Free Half-n-Half

RE: Saving Money on Fat-Free Half-n-Half By RDLaure (32) Profile Contact Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions! I also just found these recipes using dry milk powder: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/milkproducts.htm I'm going to try the skimmed evaporated milk recipe. I'll have to do the calculations though to see if it's actually cheaper, but I think it is. I have also tried my store brand FF half-n-half, but it's only about 20 cents cheaper and it's definitely not as good - not worth it to save 20 cents!

Over here, it's Albertson's or Fred Meyer brand. Cheaper, and it's usually the same price as whole-fat, esp. when it's on sale, about 1.79 a quart. I use it a lot, for potpie mixes, cream soups, in my tea (yes, I'm the only native Seattlite who doesn't like the taste of coffee), and it's great in mashed/smashed potatoes and garlic--no butter needed!

I don't do it necessarily for the cost but because I'm lactose intolerant but it is saving some.

Years ago on Weight Watchers I was actually measuring my half and half as I made my morning coffee. (We don't realize how full of calories our coffees can be!!) It was easy to cut back a little more each week. You get used to it in just a few mornings. Also, anything fat free normally has more sugars and all kinds of other things to make up for the lack of fat. Compare the ingredients. I bet you can't pronounce most of what is in the fat free stuff. My whole half and half containes milk, cream and a stabilizer. I used to buy fat free versions of everything until i realized how processed they were.
