I have noticed that there appears to be a shredding fee. Look:
Shredded: 8 ounces for $2.28.
Un-shredded: 32 ounces for $7.98.
But, isn't shredding cheese by hand a pain the @$$? Why yes. Yes it is.
Or it would be...if I hadn't STALKED THAT FOOD PROCESSOR!
Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Awwww yeeeeaaaaah. Two minutes worth of processing, and I now have a big fat bag of shredded cheese in my freezer.
Cheap trick: put a tablespoon of flour into the bag and give it a good shake. It will keep the cheese from sticking together!
Happy eating.

actually, I do think cheese is one of the things you don't need to pay more for shredding. The issue here is that you are comparing a large block of cheese to a small bag of shredded cheese. I actually read an article about this in consumer reports some months ago. The charge for shredding should be minimal if anything.
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable, but I have not managed to find larger (8 cup) bags of shredded cheese without needing a membership to one of the wholesale warehouses (BJ's, Price Club, Costco, etc.).
