You couldn't use glass because the milk will expand when frozen and break the glass. (Remember how milk on used to pop the lid off when it froze on the doorsteps).
I have never frozen cows milk, I always though it altered the texture and it can 'separate' when defrosted?
I kept dairy goats for a good few years and always froze their suplus milk in special thick polythene bags.
I had a little heat sealing machine to seal the tops closed.
Goats milk is a different fat content to cows milk, so freezes well without changing texture.

No, the texture is fine after freezing and it doesn't separate when defrosted. It's just as it was before freezing.
BTW I'm talking semi skimmed, so don't know if skimmed or full fat change their texture after freezing.

That's interesting. I'm gonna experiment with that.

It wasn't the expense though, it was throwing something way if it might be scarce in the shops.
Why is milk only ok for 3 days once opened anyway? I'm sure milk used to last all week when were younger.

Pesta, dump the milk. we have loads of it.
As soon as you open the container it starts to spoil.
Use it until rhe sell by date, no longer.
You are keeping yourself and others safe by doing so.
Some of the posts on here, by so called professionals are not only stupid, they are criminal.
Follow the Government advice and you will minimise the risk to yourself and others.

Re: Decanting milk....
Tipping milk from a larger plastic milk bottle into a smaller one is something we have always done without any trouble. Also kept milk for quite a lot longer than the date given on the bottles. I think it's always possible to taste at the first sip (or smell when the bottle is opened) if milk has gone off.We have a 4 pint bottle of milk at the moment because we couldn't get our usual 2 pint ones. The larger will be used to fill the smaller.
I haven't given consideration to this subject before reading here but I'll give it some thought. Maybe we have cast iron guts
