Greek chicken pizza with mozzarella and feta
Cheese. We all love it and couldn’t live without it UNLESS you’re lactose intolerant. Cheese is an integral item for all menus. We buy it for pizza, tacos, sandwiches, wraps, omelets and other items. Think of all the foods you make with cheese on a weekly or monthly basis. Why pay the usual sale price, $2 for 2 cups, for cheese when you could save even more?
I bought two bags of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese from Sams. Cost 10.74 for cheddar and 9.72 for mozzarella. Price for a 2 cup bag of cheddar is 1.07 and .97 for mozzarella. That is the price without coupons and it saves me a bundle when I’m making freezer casseroles, such as manicotti or it’s handy when I’m making Mexican entrees, like 5 minute tacos or nachos grande.
I divide each 20 cup bag into 2 cup portions. Just measure out 2 cups into a quart size freezer bag, squeeze the air out and label. I put it on the freezer inventory so I’ll know when to stock up again. Tip: As you empty the bags, place them in a gallon bag in your freezer to re-use the next time you stock up.
A 2 cup bag of cheese is typically on sale for $2, sometimes $1.50 or less if you have a doubled coupon.
