Cheese, Please...
Do you make homemade pizza, baked pastas, tacos, grilled cheese, or just love cheese? Chances are you may have purchased the larger bags and blocks of cheese at Costco thinking that buying bigger means saving money. Sometimes that is true, however some dairy prices have gone up at Costco.
So, is it still the best bet to buy in bulk? No. Plan to buy your cheese at Aldi. It may not look like you are saving a lot of money but overtime those savings add up if you shop at Aldi for cheese.
