Small milk cartons

We don’t consume lots of milk and if often goes off before its finished. I buy the ‘fresher longer’ filtered stuff but still it can go to waste.

I was looking at getting some small uht cartons like children have at school but they seem to be sold, understandably, in big quantities. Has anybody seen these in small amounts please?

i bought some half pint tupperware type bottles. I buy a larger bottle of milk, divide it up and freeze most of it. I take a container from the freezer every few days.

Just put the containers in the dishwasher when empty, and scald them with boiling water just before you refill them with milk.

It reduces waste & brings the cost down. 1pt milk is £79p but 4pts is only £1,49. It also reduces the amount of packaging that gets thrown away.

Thanks @ghostbusters I was looking at a smaller number of cartons as have limited space to store.

meadowfinch’s method might be my best bet!
