Low-fat/fat-free makes me really irritated (especially since it means adding thickeners to things to regain the consistency lost by removing fat). Hello, the 80s & 90s called, they want their brainwashed food back!

I've made my own yogurt in the past. It's super easy. 1 gallon whole milk, 4 quart containers, 1 cooler, 1 heating pad set on low heat. After heating the milk and adding a TB of starter yogurt to each quart container I'd stick them in the cooler with heating pad for 12 hours. In the AM, voila -- fresh yogurt!! To make it Greek I'd line a colander with a couple layers of paper towel, dump the yogurt in, lay plastic wrap onto the surface of the yogurt, then set the colander over a large bowl and leave it in the fridge overnight.
