The Big Cheese

Hello everyone. This is my first official post on this blog.  To start off my first few posts, I would like to take a look at some of the items I purchase from Sam’s Club. My first item is cheese. Sam’s has a wide variety of cheeses and I find it to be one of the biggest money savers for me.  Sliced grated or block it’s easily divided into foodsaver bags and stored for weeks. Storage is a big issue for shopping in the big box store. If I didn’t have the foodsaver, 2 refrigerators and a large pantry … Sam’s Club probably wouldn’t work for me. But if I could get the cheese at that price in the standard grocery store I would make room in the fridge and I would still invest in the foodsaver.  Cheese like Parmesan, which has a big price tag is a great value at Sam’s Club. They do have the cheaper green can available but for the price I love being able to get the real thing.  I watch for specials and if the grocery store has a better deal  than Sam’s I will buy their cheese, but I must admit I rarely find that to be the case, Sam’s by far consistently has the best deals on this staple of mine.

Cheese is a great multipurpose item. As I work to build this blog you will find that Sam’s is my place for food “multitaskers”  the items I can buy and make many different meals or snacks combined with the smaller scale grocery items.  I can always make a grilled cheese, quesadilla or just nibble a slice for mere pennies.
