Last weekend when I made my bi-monthly Wal-mart run, I planned to buy a HUGE block of cheese (I forget how many ounces) I had seen during previous visits. At first I didn't see the cheese and thought I had missed my window of opportunity. Luckily, I am not shy when it comes to asking questions, and an employee led me right to it! When you buy a large quantity of cheese in the deli, it is expensive, but this cheese was located outside the deli in the refrigerated section. It was about half the unit price of the larger block of "Great Value" cheese I usually buy.
This story gets even better! Having read in the Tightwad Gazette that many stores will slice meat and cheese for free, I had the deli slice the cheese into thin squares for sandwiches. I paid just $10.95 for all this!
My hubby placed it in a ziplock bags for the freezer. As we run out, we will pull out a block, thaw it in the fridge, and eat. All this cheese will last us a LONG time.
I really should have bought another block and shredded it in the food processor... Maybe next time!
