How Many?

I've been asked many times how much of something I use or do. Like laundry, or milk, or bread. I've only guessed at the answers, but never really had figured it out before. So I thought I would (do my best to) track some things this week.

The first thing I have found out is that we use an average of 5 gallons of milk per week.
Last Tuesday I bought 4 gallons (we weren't completely out yet). I just opened the last one for dinner tonight and it will be almost gone after breakfast tomorrow. With Chris out of town, our cereal consumption is down a little (and we did not have our regular amount of cereal for breakfast this week). So that brings us to 5.

Wonder how much it would cost to buy a milk cow?

  1. Buy the cow before they are teenagers! The kids can feed it, milk it, and then ... what skim it?! Anyway, worth finding out!

    I only have three and we use up a loaf of bread everyday. I'm thinking you are looking at at least 1.5 loaves each day if not two...

    I did think today that you need my new washer and dryer!

    See you in four weeks! Amy
