Parmalat, a milk sold in most grocery stores (and Netgrocer) is like that. you can get it in single containers that I think are 8 ounces or in quart containers. Only gets fridgerated after it's opened and will keep in the cupboard as long as you need. I don't drink milk, but for coffee and for cooking, there is no difference at all.

I'm sure there are places that sell groceries in single serve containers, but the convenience woul d be expensive...

Spices would be especially nice if sold in smaller containers... (spices loose thier spiciness and should be replaced at l east yearly - when I'm doing holiday baking - it gets expensive throwing out the unused cinammon and nutmeg and other stuff, and buying new - I'd rather get smaller containers and know that I'm going to use it all up (and pay less for it too)
