I am not renewing my membership this time, but thought I would ask before I go.
I can only but plain unsweetened yoghourt in multi packs of 6 in my local supermarket,
As I only need one at a time, can I freeze the others.
Otherwise they are wasted.

I used to freeze "regular" yoghurt for the kids as popsicles seemed to always turn out okay.

It is very easy to make your own plain yogurt in a Thermos.

I just buy one small yogurt and keep on making until the culture becomes too weak.

One has to ask the question, Why?

We regularly buy a 500gm pot of plain yoghurt for about £1, it it sits in the fridge and gets used in two weeks.

Never even contemplated freezing it. Probably costs more to freeze it than it is worth.

I make my own with a mix from Lakeland. The kit to make it is not expensive.

The reason why isn't really important.
The fact is that there are only 2 of us & my husband won't eat it, nor anything containing it.
Therefore buying multi packs of 6, or a large pot just for me is uneconomical.
The Spanish mainly seem to eat only flavoured yoghourt which is no good for making curries......which again, only I eat.

You can freeze it but when it thaws it separates and goes runny. Is still edible though.

I used to have a yoghurt maker as hubby only liked the plain ones . Was very easy to use and you could store them in the fridge .

Thanks for that Shirley.
If I try it & it goes wrong, it's no worse than chucking 5 fresh pots away.
