I tried saving money by buying a 5 liter packet and dividing it into five
separate packages.  The contents caked despite my attempts to save them in
double bags.  It was a real mess getting the stuff to dissolve and I decided
that this was no way to save money. <g>  My results were uneven, though I had
been experimenting at the time, so it's difficult where to place the blame.
