Cool... I always dig for the back anyway, since that's where the new milk is.

Yup... half/half lasts longer, and whipping cream lasts forever.
Also, I'm totally the opposite of granola, but I buy organic milk not because it's organic, but it lasts for 2-3 months. Since we don't go through milk that fast, it's well worth the increased cost.
Plus, it does taste better.
