How much milk do you drink per day? Work out from there. X30.

UHT stuff is also handy, it really does depend on how much milk you go through, is it just tea/coffee or do you use it for cereal, making white sauces etc as well ? I only keep a small supply of UHT (I think 5L at the moment) for tea/coffee but I'm not planning for the more extreme prepping scenarios. I also have a packet of powdered milk which will make up 22L if requried, this does fall into the category of preps that I keep but will probably never use, I try to avoid this myself, I don't see the point of storing things that we don't use but I have a few bits and bobs that fall into this category. Whatever works for you really.

Being a non milk lover myself I don't really have much milk in my food storage. I have the coffee with the milk power all in ones sachets, I have 2 coffee mate in tubs and I also have a tub of dried skimmed milk for use in bread making. I have however discovered coconut/rice milk and almond milk cartons which have a years use by date on them.
