Good Value Cheese?

I needed some cheddar today, nipped into Tesco (which I don't usually shop in) and was surprised how much cheese cost. Even so called 'offers' were expensive.

Went to Iceland instead and they had an offer. £2 (marked at £3) for 400g of extra strong cheddar, own brand. So that's £5 per kg which at current prices I thought was good value.

Tesco do two 500g mature blocks for £5. The iceland deal is good if you don't eat much.
Morrisons had 200g of mature grated for £1 earlier this week, which lasts longer in my house as I have a teenage cheese muncher . We get through at least 1kg per week.

Most places have cheese on offer on a regular basis - my hubby loves his cheese sarnies so I buy it regularly too. I normally shop in Asda or Tesco and they Tend to have Wykes Farm or Cathedral City on offer - either the big packs or bogof and it's normally around £5 per kg. Even the Co-op had a good cheese offer on last week at about the same price too.

Alternatively Lidls cheese is cheap, but it's normally mild not mature.

Some of the lidl cheese's we have found to be mature or extra mature, i think the 1 in the black wrapper is strong

it's always worth looking at the cost per weight, usually if theres no really really good offers pre-grated/sliced is cheaper

I love it when Lidl has the blu packet Vintage Reserve cheddar at £1.44 for 400g! Lovely cheese with a good strong flavour. Only one problem - it goes quicker than any other cheese in our house.

Definitely it was a good value.

I usually get the Buy 2 for £5 Tesco Cheese or BOGOF Cathedral City - there is usually some offer on

Asda are currently selling 400g of Lake District Cheese mature for £2, which is half-price. We stocked up on an absolute mountain of it, but I think I prefer Asda's own brand which we usually get (600g for £3.58 - £5.97/kg)

Just watch the weights of some of these cheddars. Cathedral City has recently repackaged with the weight dropping from 400g to 350g and the price has remained the same.
