How much do you pay for cheese?

[2busy2bme]

I just move back to Ontario from BC and can not believe how cheap brick cheese is. A 700 grm brick can be found for under $5 at most grocery stores ( Zehrs, food basics, sobeys, wallmart) When I lived in BC cheese was $11.49 for med or mild and $12.49 plus for old.
I have seen it as low as $4.50 here and people say it gets cheaper when its on sale. Of course you can find it more expensive on the same shelf, but its just a different name and that will parobally be on sale the following week. LOL
How much do you pay forcheese and where (store and city or province)

It is usually 7.00 + here, when not on sale (this is the no name stuff at loblaws).. But Maxi puts it on sale for 3.99 sometimes. Just like No Frills when I was in Ontario I just buy a bunch when they are on sale (checking the best before date!)

$12.49 is CRAZY!! I think I would stop eating cheese

What a cheesy question!!!!

idk know if Ontario is a cheese making province, I think Manitoba has the best cheese and farmers sausage.. I wonder if maybe that has something to do with it -- maybe ON makes its own cheese but others do not??? a shot in the dark, but possible.

Ontario does have small family-owned cheese makers, but most of the Canadian cheese is made in Montreal

The cheese I am mainly referring to is Cracker barrel, Kraft, Black Diamond etc. You would think the price would be the same across the country

usally when its reg. price, a large brick is about $7.49 I live in quebec, gatineau area. When its on sale its normally 4.44$ so I stock up then.. lol $7.49 is steep for me.. however my wee-bits can taste cheese before its in the house and it goes fast

I live in SW Ontario and I don't have any stores where the reg price for 700gr is under $5. I buy the 520g blocks, the regular price is around $6-$8 dollars. But I will only buy Sobey's brand now because they make cheddar without orange dye in it. They had it on sale in February for $3.99 - the name brand stuff typically goes on sale for $4.44 (but I don't buy it because it's orange). Hopefully it will be on sale again soon, as I'm almost through my last block - we go through about 5 a month.

we have a cheese factory close its the best cheese mmm but its expensive around $10 a block but its worth it just tastes so much better than the stuff we normally buy at no frills also they do usually have sales and if you get the uneven blocks of the cheese ends or whatever they call them its way cheaper they have maple chedder stuff too made with the county syrup its pretty good but i like the garlic curd and the jalapeno cheese

I pay nothing for cheese. I'm still working on my Kraft Live Active cheese.

When I don't have coupons for free cheese I just go without until it's on sale for $4 or less.

the big brick of cracker barrel and black diamond are regularly priced about 7.49, and when its on sale 4.49-5.99, (it is usually on sale at one of the groceries stores) *newfoundland.

*waves fist at government*
