Sponsored: 6 Ways to Save in the Dairy department

1. Instead of buying flavored milks, buy plain cow’s milk or soy milk and add your own chocolate syrup or chocolate flavoring powder.

2. Instead of buying flavored yogurt, buy vanilla yogurt or plain Greek yogurt and add your own flavorings like honey, granola, fruit jam, fresh or frozen fruit.

3. Use whole or reduced fat milk or soy milk instead of creamer for your coffee and tea.

4. Buy blocks of cheese and shred or cube your own cheese for recipes and snacks.

5. Have cottage cheese as a high protein snack. Stir in fruit, granola. If you prefer savory cottage cheese try mixing it with fresh, chopped tomatoes and cucumbers.

6. Buy an extra dozen eggs and hard boil them for egg salad, hard boiled egg snacks or to top tossed salads to add protein.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
