THRIVE Instant Milk vs Powdered Milk

Thanks Misty for the break down

 

THRIVE Life sells two different types of milk.  One is the Instant milk and the other is the Non-fat Milk   Instant Milk is used for drinking, in my opinion it takes like 1% or skim milk while the other is used for cooking. One thing to note is that most people think the powdered milk is much less expensive. This is because it costs less per #10 can. However, a #10 can of Instant Milk makes 5 Gallons. A #10 can of Powdered Milk only makes 3.5 gallons. The powdered milk is actually only about $0.05 less per gallon. Use the chart below to see the other differences:
