    Any 'convenience' foods that havent been invented yet? I'd go for

    Ready-buttered bread (5 quid a loaf) and
    Teabags with powdered milk in them (10 quid a box)

    Underlay....if garlic bread will do the trick, you can usually buy it ready to go....can't handle the tea with milk idea, use no milk in mine!

    This thread suggests that it isn't ;) I agree, it's a greater surface area, so grated cheese goes off more quickly.

    Even if it isn't more expensive to buy it could easily be less economical than buying a block of cheese and grating the amount you want rather than the amount prescribed by the supermarket.

    Why buy grated cheeses anyway; it's really expensive!
    Not always. I like gruyere, and at my local Waitrose it is much cheaper to buy grated. The grated mozzarella and cheddar are more expensive than ungrated but not by much.

    Not always, amazingly! Sometimes, also, grated cheese is on special offer and it works out cheaper than block cheese.

    Great minds think alike, Thriftlady! You just beat me to it!

    A decent mature grated cheddar goes a much longer way than a bland "soapblock" mild cheddar-type economy cheese, so it works out as "best value" even if not necessarily financially cheaper (you can see that I have been working in local government too long :rotfl: ).

    HTH
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    I ignore these. I used to buy grated cheese and we had packs going for weeks and weeks and weeks, possibly months and months and months...! No mould. Tasted fine. I just ignore these, now, like blocks of cheese - eat within six weeks or so, don't they say? But we keep ours going for what seems like years. :confused:

    Caterina since you mentioned that mozzarella in pouches of water makes for a soggy pizza I've been buying the grated stuff -I love it! I think it is more economical than the posh stuff because I use less -I always used to use up a whole ball at once. Thanks for the tip.

    I adore grated gruyere -the best melting cheese. I love it sprinkled on a ham croissant or over a bacon and onion baguette for an easy Saturday lunch with a bagged salad! I love bagged salad too -yes, I do;) :p
