What Is Going on with CHEESE?
I put this thread here because it's not so much about cheese as the PRICE of cheese.
Hoffman's super sharp cheddar is NINE dollars a pound at Kroger. Excuse me, but isn't that a bit much? and the 8 oz. foil package of cheese was five dollars! Have I missed something? Is cheese now a rare commodity?

Pretty sure our regular milk is like $3.50/gallon. But we buy organic and that's a lot more. around $5.
Kinda pathetic that I don't know. We just buy it regardless of the price because it's a staple. It's a lot though. |

The peanut butter bubble is about to burst too. I hear on good authority one should stock up on peanut butter. (Well, my mom heard it from the grocery guy.)
They gotta get us somewhere: gas went down 15 cents and the evil corporations are starting to feel it in their collective pocket. Gawd forbid we start getting all cocky, saving money and buyin' other stuff besides food and gas, or just walkin' around with our extra dollar. The man is keeping us down. |

Oh, and I think the price of milk and cheese went up because there was a run on cows due to Dave's New Cheeseburger.
Come on, you didn't really think it was made out of DAVE, did you? |

Yeah. I know. But then I did a blind taste test. Don't do a blind taste test if you want to keep drinking the regular less expensive milk.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so Mrs. Z will sometimes make me carob chip cookies. They're not bad if you can't have the real thing.

Ummmmmm... Emmental. My most favorite cheese in the world. My Mom was Swiss and grew up in the Emmental in the teensy village of Fluhli. We used to go back for visits and I remember those truly huge wheels of cheese in the places that made Emmental. And the flavor! If there was some way you could send it, I would pay you. Alas, I don't think you can send cheese through the mail.
