This is the best-tasting brand of powdered milk I've tried. It tastes much better than normal skim milk from a carton. Since it tastes so good it's perfect for anything that calls for skim milk - mixing with Ovaltine/Chocolate syrup, and all kinds of recipes.

If indeed this is a 4.4 pound box, it's $11.99 in the grocery stores on the west coast.....

This dry milk is super easy to mix. My kids will drink it in a cup, on cereal or in baked goods. Great product for the money.

First, for all of you who have been looking for this product, Nestle's had a problem with their production. It will not be available until they get their act together.

Second, I have tried many instant, non-fat powdered milk brands and this is still my favorite. I bought the Saco brand at Christmas, and while it was good, it is a bit different than the Carnation brand.

Third, I don't think it's over-priced. Dairy has risen and will continue to rise because they are using corn for fuel instead of feeding it to the cows. I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and I don't believe I have ever seen a box this big even offered in any of the stores I frequent. This size combined with free shipping--I think it's a great bargain.

If you keep it in your freezer and take it out as you need it, it will have a better flavor than leaving it on the shelf. This goes for all powdered milks. I even keep my homemade hot chocolate mix in the freezer for the same reason.

I hope it becomes available soon! Amazon, thanks for offering it for sale!

Carnation has always been the American dry milk choice, but this price is way high! Check out Nido, which is dry whole milk: Nestle Nido Milk Powder, Imported, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3) and also is a great (good fat) coffee creamer and makes awesome bread and mashed potatoes!

I use two dry spoonfuls in my coffee for a fat free creamy cup of coffe without cooling it down too fast.

I get it at BJ's for $13.49.

This product itself is fabulous; creamy with a good taste. However, the price plus shipping is greed, pure and simple. Shame on the seller and shame on Amazon for not policing the retailers who chose to take advantage of the consumer. BTW this comes in a plastic bag that you can seal, The problem is that the bag can split at the seams. The box was a much better package.

Here's an item we always have around the house, although we often buy it in smaller containers. It's an excellent product and we can make up a batch of skim milk in very short order. My wife uses it for cooking and baking. She adds it to the baby's food. She uses it as a creamer for coffee and tea. We take it along for camping and it provides milk without the need for a fridge. We rely on it when we inadvertently run out of milk and can't immediately get to the grocery store. The taste is excellent, especially if you are used to skim milk and drink it very cold. This is very useful stuff to have around.

This is a great product, especially in places where you can't buy fresh milk every day (or on hand for when you're snowed in), But I can no longer find it anywhere on any shelves, and now, not even on Amazon.com!
