I&#8217;m not saying you should spend $7 per 1\/2 gallon every week. Just buy a 1\/2 gallon glass milk jug and reuse it forever! Pour 1\/2 of your gallon jug into the glass bottle and when it comes time to use the second half of your milk in a few days, it will smell fresh and unspoiled!<\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you&#8217;ll notice a big difference very first time you try it. Does the milk actually last longer? I&#8217;m not sure but after 3 minutes of googling for it, everybody agrees that glass stores better. Drink month-old fresh-tasting milk at your own peril! ;-)<\/p>\n<p>And if you aren&#8217;t happy, just return the glass bottle for deposit and go on your way, having spent a whole extra $3 on the experiment!<\/p>\n<p>Megan discovered this life hack! She noticed that in the supermarket, milk in glass had the longest Sell-by dates. Cardboard 1\/2 gallons had shorter Sell-by dates and plastic milk gallon jugs had shortest Sell-by dates. It&#8217;s ironic that the largest containers have the shortest dates, eh? She did a little research and it turns out exactly the way you think&#8230; glass preserves best! Plastic is pretty good but lets some gases in and out, spoiling your milk sooner!<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve lived my whole life without knowing this one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a great life-hack: store your milk in glass, it tastes fresher longer!
