I tend to buy more cheese when it goes on sale. Have they ever thought of putting it on sale??? Or is it more fun to rape the American taxpayer?
Hey! How ya been? :)
I just woke up and poked around. Going back to sleep but hope you’re well.
Dont know much about the cheese business. Wonder if any FReeper makes their living this way.
In fact Kroger has a free Friday giveaway on their website. Except certain states citizens are denied from an occasional free cup of yogurt or pack of string cheese because of these govt monopolistic laws.
I’ve seen nothing but very noticeable rises in price for cheese these last 6-8 months. I buy a lot of Kraft block cheese as well as sliced. I used to get a half pound block for under $2.00 - now it is $2.69 or thereabouts. Even store brand prices have gone up.
The suspicious in me tells me the government is buying up the extra so the retailers can distributors can keep the prices up.
More fun to rape your wallet than lower the price.
I’m like you buy it on sale at Kroger’s where I get gas points. Labor Day is almost here and gift cards will go to 4 times the gas pts...stock up and you can get $1 off up to 35 gals of gas, and if you fill more than once a month that can mean big savings plus what you saved on smart shopping and cash back on Discover or CC that gives cash back. Hubby fills my car that is not driven much from the 5 gal gas can, then takes it and the most driven SUV up and fills both. Saved $22 bucks yesterday, the $2.09 gas was just $1.09. Still have 60 cents off left, one of my boys can use.
You buy more cheese when it is on sale which means they occasionally put it on sale. I only buy cheese when it is on sale. I have two drawers in my spare refrigerator dedicated to cheese. One of them is for home made cheese.
Many grocery chains put name brand cheeses on sale as a loss leader, ie. below what it costs to produce. The sales are out there.
