Showerthought: I stopped buying pre-shredded cheese 3 months ago and my grocery bill went from $85 to $60 a week
For real, I did the math last month and was shocked. I live in Columbus and shop at Kroger, and a bag of shredded cheddar was running me $4.99 for 8 oz while a block of the same cheese was $3.49 for 8 oz, so I switched and just grate it myself while dinner cooks. Three months in, that swap alone saved me about $25 a week once I stopped buying the fancy bags with the anti-caking powder too. Yeah it takes like 90 seconds of extra work, but who here is actually still paying the shred tax and thinks it's worth it?
