Milk tip

One of my readers emailed me this tip:

” I have a tip on halving a families milk bill and since your the thrifty momma I thought you could pass it on. Take a gallon of whole milk (cost the same as the  rest) and split it evenly into another milk jug,add 1 tsp of sugar to each container and 1/2 tsp of salt as well, fill them up with water and now you have 2 gallons of 1% at the cost of 1 gallon,it taste the same.let me know what you think.”

I know another family that does this, but they add half powdered milk/ half fresh milk.  Growing up on a dairy farm I am kind of picky when it comes to milk, so I have never done this.  What tips do you have to save on the cost of milk?
