1.) We lived in Wisconsin. Mass consumption of dairy products is a residency requirement, like having a pickup truck and a firearm when you live in Texas.. 2.) Milk was/is a staple for our growing boys (now men) who consume large amounts as well. 3.) My morning beverage, “Crappaccino”, is nearly a gallon of milk for about 5-6 days consumption when I make up a batch.
Milk is yummy. 3-4 gallons a week consumption is pretty normal for our household. Haven’t looked at paper products. Don’t need any, still have a good month’s supply if not more. We’ve never hoarded, we have hurricane supplies year ‘round. -D > On Mar 26, 2020, at 12:33 PM, Andrew Strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 3 gallons of milk?
