Can milk be frozen? I buy fat free 2% milk in pints most of the time but tonight could only find half gallon size. Can I freeze some of this milk for use later on? If so, how soon do I have to use it? Thanks.

I've been freezing milk for years and have never had a problem. I would recommend, tho, that you leave a bit of head space because it will separate and you'll have to shake it up really well once it is defrosted.
Yes! Milk can be frozen, take a cup of milk out of the container, put it in another container in the fridge and put the other container with the rest of the milk in your freezer. I have had it in the freezer for a couple of months and you take out only what you need. Like if you froze 1/2 gallons take one out, if you froze gallons, take that out. The 1/2 gallons will thaw i believe in a day or two in the fridge, the gallon with take a few days.
Absolutely!
Open it up and pour yourself a cup, then tighten the lid well and put it in the freezer (taking out a bit allows for expanding)
Thanks! No more wasted milk.
I have tried this and it tasted sour to me when thawed back out.
I always freeze the milk if there is any before we leave on vacation. It seems like if it has high fat content it loosed some of the homogenized aspects so the milk has to be shaken to blend in the butter fat again.
I buy milk by the gallon because it is cheaper. My DH is the only one who can eat it, so after a while, but before it is near souring I freeze the rest of the milk in 1 cup containers. Then he can use it as he needs it. He uses it mostly for his cereals. Freezing it in the original gallon container would be too much milk at a time for him.
I have been freezing my milk for years. I buy the gallons then pour each gallon into two 2 liter plastic bottles that have screw on lids that have flip top lids. With the 2 liter containers you don't have to worry about using any at the time because there is at least 2 inches of empty space for freezing.
