It was store brand but you could either get the pre-shredded or block. Both 8 oz.
sounds like you got a really good deal!
on a side note, i hate preshredded cheese...does anyone else think it tastes wierd, or is it just me?
I hate it too. It generally costs more, goes bad faster, and has a funky stale flavor to it in my opinion. Everytime I take out a block of cheese in front of other people and start shredding at it they stare at me like Im crazy for not buying it already shredded...
I can't find the linky now but I remember reading the reason pre-shredded cheese tastes gross is because of all the cellulose (anti-caking agent) that is added.
If you saw it being made, you'd never eat it. I always grate my own!
Re: Was this a good deal?
depends on what kind of cheese-
.16 oz is a good price point (for me) so anything cheaper is a stock up.
Here that would be a good price, and yes preshredded cheese tastes awful. I can't eat it. The texture is terrible too.

Oh, but I think that's a decent price.
