Default emergency milk

Then someone suggested "powdered milk", which I went to the grocery store
to buy, only to my horror to find that it's far more expensive than fresh
milk! (About $18 for 20 quarts worth of the powder.)

Normally the "crap" solution is the cheapest, where I was in for a shock
that the price for that crap powdered milk solution is more than twice the
price for the fresh milk solution.

Why?


It takes a lot more milk to reduce it to a powder, however it is they
do it. Evaporation, for starters.

Do you find the same price disparity where you live?
Is there any other "emergency milk" solution out there?


I did look at the price of powdered milk once, don't know why because
I loathe the stuff, but it was quite pricey.

People freeze milk, then shake it once it thaws, I've never tried
that, myself.
