Transporting milk for breakfast

Kathy535

My DH takes about 180ml to work for porridge each day, a recent thing as he's on a diet! Currently, he's using a variety of containers but complains that they all smell of sour milk regardless of how quickly he washes them out. He's thrown out lots of things that I used to use quite a lot.

Can anyone suggest what I can get for him that are either cheap and disposable or reusable?

I would say something made from glass as it doesn't absorb the contents like plastic does. Im not sure what drinks come in glass bottles any more, oasis used to. Lakeland or any other home store might do a screw cap glass bottle as well. Or ask in a pub to see if they have any screw top glass bottles of drinks, they might let you have one.

Has he got access to a fridge at work?

If so take weeks worth on a Monday.

Looking at it differently - would he consider using powdered milk and then he'd only need water?

Save up empty soft drinks bottles ( coke, lemonade, etc. ), and ask friends and neighbours to save theirs for you as well. Rinse them out and use them, they can be chucked away after use if washing them does no good.

What about a clean jam jar with a screw top?

I've been using one of these for about six months now for taking milk into work..

I usually wash it out with hot soapy water straight after use and it's been fine. Plus it can be done up tight and doesn't leak.

i use jam jars - to take milk, soup, stews, all sorts to work - free, don't taint and eco friendly too

Thanks everyone, I love the jam jar ideas and also the taking the pint into work on a Monday - so simple! I'm going to buy him a small jug for just that purpose (it's his birthday soon - he'll be bemused until I explain!)

No seriously, milk carried around in any container will get shaken around and thats why it happens

Other option, buy locally fresh, or premix and take
