The other night I decided that I wanted to make a smoothie so I began getting all of my ingredients together, when I went to reach for the milk jug I noticed that it had expired a week or so ago. This was a problem, then I noticed in the back of the refrigerator there was a carton of milk I thought for sure this would be expired as well because I knew I had bought that before I bought the jug but when I pulled it out to throw it away I saw that it was not in fact expired but had another 5 days left. This got me thinking, is there a difference between milk in a carton and milk in the jug? So when I was at the grocery store the other day, I looked at both options and not only is there a time difference in expiration but there is a large time difference, the carton lasts a lot longer and is cheaper. For someone like myself who rarely uses milk this was a great discovery because I like to have it on hand for the occasional time I need it but hate to buy it if I know it is going to go bad so quickly!
