Hi,

Need to buy this in bulk, so need the cheapest place that sells it.

I assume it's Asda but maybe Aldi or Lidl sells it cheaper per block?

    Sainsbury's Basics is £4.50 a kg.

    Waitrose has their Essential range on offer at £2.25 per 550gram block, which is half it's normal price.

    Good cheese. Good taste. Doesn't sweat like some cheeses. Stands being out the fridge for awhile so good for using as table nibbles.

    And while you are at Waitrose, if you have their card, free tea or coffee plus a free paper.

    Aldi is cheap but tastes it.

    Lidl Valley Spire is, guessing about £4.42kg. Same price for Extra Mature, Mature and Light. Comes in blocks at £1.55 and occasionally reduced.Also larger blocks for mature.

    Is Lidl's still on offer, I think it was around £3.70 a kilo for the last few weeks. I don't find it the strongest mature cheese, but I like it and feel it's comparable to some I brought from M&S recently.

    If you want bulk blocks then Costco has giant (maybe 5kg) slabs of cheese. I don't know the price without going in store to check though.
  • Have a look on http://mysupermarket.co.uk/ that will help you figure it out based on the shops in your area.

    I'm generally happy with Aldi's regular prices but sometimes Home Bargains has brands at good prices too. If you're going to buy a lot it's worth checking out 'discount' stores in your area. Iceland may be worth a look.
