## 13. Don’t Forget About Your Household’s Preferences
A family’s milk consumption isn’t determined solely by size.
Some households use very little milk even if several people live there.
Others go through multiple containers every week.
Cooking and baking habits also matter.
A household that regularly makes pancakes, sauces, desserts, smoothies, and other recipes may use considerably more milk than a household that rarely drinks or cooks with it.
Think about your actual habits rather than your household size alone.
If your milk disappears quickly, bulk purchasing can be convenient.
If it sits untouched in the refrigerator, buying a smaller amount is probably wiser.
