why is cheese so expensive now at grocery stores?????

[John Connor]

I heard on the news about a month ago that there was an excess of cheese.

I don't buy preshredded cheese.

I get all of my cheese from Costco.

Trump wants to ban per-shredded cheese so he can make America grate again. This may be the cause of the price increase.

 

[pcgeek11]

That was funny.

I make my own cheese from my own dairy cows... Its much better than store bought. You all should try it.

Do the cows know how to use elevators? Some ATOTers live in condos.

To reduce the fat population. Reduce fatties from fat. Cheese is fat. Fat is no good.

I don't understand this. I would rather eat less of the stuff then not eat it at all or worse use "low fat" substitute.

I am not a big cheese eater but not eating it is out of the question.

Enough threads about the orangutan. No need to bring him up in ATOT.

For a second I thought this post would come from one of our Canadian members. Cost of cheese is one of many reasons to be thankful to not be a Canadian. I mean have you ever tried to milk a moose?!

That is because we train the mooses and we give them beer and massages. And classical music.

Well seeing as most foods the country gets comes from California, yes that could be it.

I though Wisconsin was supposed to be the dairy state?

It is but we consume all the cheese we make in our cheese curds.

So, poutine?

So, poutine?

Raw or fried...

We go for the classics and no need to fancy it up with gravy.

3 bucks is pretty cheap. its not intimation cheese is it?

Also carries real cheese and some of it is really good. We currently like some of their cheddars. I don't ever get shredded, though, so can't comment on that. If you have one in the area, you should give it a try. They tend to have great deals on certain products--like meats and dairy, but it varies throughout the week.

fat is way better than sugar. reduce access to sugar. leave fat alone for the most part.

Read somewhere that some grated cheese has fillers in it. Not sure how prevalent that is or in what cheeses.

Quotas and government involvement = higher cost. Add in the horrible CAD value on imports and voila.

whole foods shredded cheese doesnt contain any cellulose of note.

re: why is cheese so expensive now ?

Because you are not one of the initiate elites :

"hotdog" = boy
"pizza" = girl
"cheese" = little girl
"pasta" = little boy
"ice cream" = male prostitute
"walnut" = person of colour
"map" = semen
"sauce" = orgy

Are you buying peasant cheese or good cheese?

 

[monkeydelmagico]

I always buy the grated cheese at Costco and a 5 pound bag is 12 bucks. but at Kroger a 5 pound bag of shredded cheese is 23.99.

Folks who aren't as price conscious must be buying. Or the management is actively trying to turn over that sales space due to poor performance. Or somebody has a sweet heart deal with the produce manager for near expiration cheese.....
