I seen that Dollar Tree website now sells Marcels milk similar to Gossners as far as packaging. I'm assuming that Gossner prices went up so maybe they found a cheaper option to sell? Curious if anyone has tried it or has any comparison to Gossner brand.

Why would anyone buy this instead of using powdered milk
Dollar tree used to carry it for $1.25 or so per quart and it is shelf stable milk lasts on the shelf for a couple of years at least.

UHT milk in tetra pak is UHT milk in tetra pak. I doubt you'll taste any difference between any of the brands.

I personally think UHT milk tastes much more cooked than powdered milk, more like evaporated milk, and the fact you can make cheese with powdered milk but not UHT tells me I'm right about that. But a lot of other people seem to prefer it to powdered milk (I suspect because they add no butterfat to their nonfat milk powder). It is convenient shelf-stable ready-to-drink pantry milk, although not a mid- or long-term storage food.

And it shouldn't be costing more than $4 or $5 a gallon even now.

Got a empty quart right in front of me as i just had breakfast.
I keep some on hand just in case i don't make a trip into town do to weather, and it's rained for the two days so i was short.
I live in a RV with a small frig, and it's good for me because I can store it on the shelf and save room for things that must be kept cold in the frig and keep just one in the frig
