Organic milk boxes on sale at Amazon (Silk and Horizon)

We like Horizon. We get chocolate at Costco, but DS loves strawberry too. Each case of 18 Horizon milk boxes is $22. If you buy $40 worth, you can use code ORGMILK2 for $20 off your total. Eligible for FS. Here is the link to the eligible products.

i'm just leary about milk traveling w/this heat (AKA the summer months), what are your thoughts?

[danagee]

I'd buy this for sure IF it weren't in the 90's these days. I wouldn't trust milk traveling in this heat and who knows how long the box would be sitting on my front porch before I found it.

I placed an order today. Mine isn't going to ship for at least 2 weeks, and most of my amazon purchases ship from one state over so when they do finally ship I get them in a day or 2.

I don't live in the hottest part of the country. But it has been in the 90's this week.

I usually keep a few of these in my car for emergencies for myself and DS (granted I park in covered parking at work and a garage at home but it is still hot) and haven't noticed any problems with the ones that have been "warm" for a week.

Thank you for posting this. I've been unable to find unflavored organic milk boxes in local stores but I wanted to stock up before DD starts school. Perfect! (Well, Horizon isn't my fave company, but these are better than the alternative milk @ school)

[TahliasMom]

this is the only milk my daughter will drink! so huge savings...

When i bring one along to a picnic or traveling, i still store them in a cooler lunch sack with ice. I did 2 orders. 1 order for chocolate and vanilla, 2nd order for strawberry and soy vanilla (for me). Thanks!!!

Oooh, DD & DS love these for treats - and I love that they can be stored in the cupboard, as fridge space is always at a premium in our house.

If you buy two packs, they're only $0.66 each after the $20 off coupon - amazing deal!

Thanks for the link!
I don't know how everyone finds the amazing Amazon food deals...
but they are great!

Anyone have any idea on the shelf life of the Horizon milk boxes?

[linsei]

Thank you :)

I bought some to take to work. They don't sell organic at work.

I usually have a couple of months (or even up to 4) for a Horizon pack when I buy them from Costco. The date is printed on the end of the box. I used to worry that we would not use them in time, but that never happens.
Tips: I can usually get away with one in our handbag when we fly, which means that if he doesn't drink it, I don't have to throw it out. I put 3 or 4 in a galllon-size ziploc, and I put that in my check-in bag when we go somewhere. That way, I am not racing to get milk at weird hours. It is nice that I can go get a pretty big cup of organic whole milk from any Starbucks for about a dollar anywhere, but these help with odd hours or amusement parks or other activities.
Plus, I keep some at the office for DS to drink on the way home from daycare. This is especially helpful when I work until 625p, and he is hungry and tired.

Thank you!!!
I have been looking for the unflavored milk forever. And this deal makes it even better.

[leslieu]

Thanks so much for the deal. I just stocked up.

Thanks! My son is not quite old enough to drink the milk, so I think I will wait on getting. Great deal though!

[cmariew]

Does this taste like normal fridge milk?

[fattytuna]

Thank you for the post!

FYI... I placed an order for a pack of Horizon (unflavored) and a pack of Silk (Very Vanilla) on 8/8, order was shipped on 8/9, I just received my shipment today (8/10). I live in CA.

Each pack has the production and expiration dates stamped on the outside of the carton. Horizon has a prod. date of 6/07, exp. date of 12/07. Silk has a prod. of 04/07, exp. date of 01/08.

HTH.

[dotgirl]

My Horizon arrived yesterday (2 cases - 1 vanilla, 1 chocolate). Both have an expiration date of 01/08. I don't recall the production date.

[caleymama]

I know the chocolate Horizon does. I haven't tried any of the others. I ordered the unflavored and am hoping it's okay. We've used the plain Parmalat milk boxes before and they do taste different but DD1 doesn't seem to mind.

[noodle]

I placed two orders and was able to use the $20 off promo both times (and I think it would let me use it again if I tried, but we're short on storage space in our tiny house ;>).
Thanks OP!
