I'm trying to get a good stock of aged cheese going before this winter to smoke it. My local grocery store has 8 oz blocks of xtra sharp, sharp, mozzarella, Colby jack, cheddar jack, and mild for 1.75 each. Is that about the cheapest I will find it or should I go to sams and buy in bulk what is cheaper? Thanks!

1.75 + 3.50 per pound. you might can do better at Sam's Walmart here has 5# blocks for 15.00# they don't have everything in 5# blocks. So for what they don't have. Check the weekly Ads or Sam's. You could call Sam's and save a trip.

Happy smoken.
