Best place to buy powdered milk online?

The Nido is delicious. It tastes nearly like fresh milk. I keep some on hand, but it's expensive. But that's what I like to use for those occasions when I run out of real milk and will be out for a few days. I can mix that up, refrigerate it, and drink it out of a glass. It doesn't have that chalky or watery taste that most dry milks have.

ditto what ladycat says. when I first got nido, i mixed up a glass, and it wasn't like non-fat powdered milk at all. as a rough guide, i'd say non-fat is about 4 out of 10, and nido is about 9 out of 10. not perfect, but very close, and tastes good, not something you have to "get used to".

Before Nido, i wasted lots of money on milk that went bad. then tried freezing milk in ice trays, which worked reasonably well, but i'd still sometimes get freezer burn on the milk, have to remember to thaw it ahead of time, and still not great in a power outage.

around here, milk is about $4/gallon. I pay slightly more per gallon for the nido, but it's got a long shelf life, and should have far less spoilage. and as long as i have my tea, the rest of the world can go to heck and i'll still feel civilized.

i wait until amazon has nido that's part of their supersaver-shipping. when i ordered back in april, it was $16 per 3.96 lb container. i ordered 4, got free shipping, which should last me a year. The the other vendors on amazon don't have the supersaver shipping, and their prices seem to be a bit higher.

you might also try your local grocery. my HEB carries it, but in very small containers (400g, instead of the 1800g container I get), and at a slightly higher price than I paid thru amazon. However, if you're wanting to taste it first, it's a good way to go. Try hispanic shopping places, as Nido is very common in Mexico, so more likely to be found where hispanics shop.

Thanks Ladycat and sgl! I've seen it for $12.99 a can, but not sure what size can that was. I'll definitely try it next time I go to the store. Then I'll start watching Amazon. I figure I might save a little money over the milk I keep throwing out or at least break even, and it will be good for a SHTF situation too.

+1 on what the others say about Nido. I am very fussy when it comes to milk and I like Nido. Like sgl42, I rate it 9 out of 10. It also comes in choc. and strawberry.

Thanks mj! I'm sold, lol.

Here's another happy user of Nido. I discovered it years ago at a local international food store and started using it while backpacking. We now have a second intl. food store that carries even larger cans and even the Kroger stores carry the small cans.

Thanks vdeal and welcome to the boards!

This is what I love about this place, good advice from actual users. I would have hated to waste the money only to find out it was no good, but now I not only know that it's good, but where to watch online and get it at a discount. Thanks everyone!

Thanks too, farmergirl, for letting me horn in on your thread, lol.
