We've recently instituted the move to "short" glasses (half the size of a full glass) for milk in the morning. This has saved quite a bit of milk in half-drunk glasses. People are welcome to go back for a second (or even third) helping.
I also started using powdered milk for baking.

Following the same principle, whenever I make a casserole or any large entree, I immediately divide the leftovers into one-serving portions and freeze. In the mornings, I just grab one to carry to work for lunch.
