Cheesus.

Following on from your Easons/Amazon post yesterday here is another one.
My absolute favourite cheese for topping homemade burgers is smoked applewood. In Supervalu it costs 2.99 for 150g which works out at 19.93 a kilo.
Whereas over in Tesco 185g of smoked applewood cheese, imported from the UK, will cost you 1.38 or 7.46 per kilo. 6
By my calculation this product is 167% more expensive in Supervalu than it is in Tesco.
Hooray for British cheese I say.
FIGHT!

Two entirely different brands at play here. Utterly pointless comparison.
Exactly. It’s like asking how come that blue car is €20k? I saw one elsewhere for €500
I can’t believe this was posted.
It’s literally about the price of cheese.
Its a symptom of a larger frustration
Cheeses Priced
I’m speechless. Bravo

Mmmn rubbery plasticity Brit cheese…
The SuperValu one is lovely .
Nice things tend to cost more. Get over it
I only once bought SuperValu own-brand cheese and it was worse than wretched.
Oh No, I take that back. It was Spar.
Yep. Like most own brands of cheese, it’s the own label ones that are the lower quality and lower price. The manufacturers have to get rid of the lesser quality stuff somewhere.
Aye. Their cheddar smells like yoghurt.
Saw 4 slices of ham for 3.49 in SuperValu yesterday. Good times
this is actually a comparison of the offerings from THREE different retailers potentially here….be warned that when you go shopping in a SuperValu (Musgraves) it might be one of two very different animals a) an original Superquinn shop b) a franchisee run by some local…look closely at the logo there’ll be some evidence of a family name..
as a rule of thumb I’ll only shop at a)
if I can because quality, range, pricing fairly poor in b)
cheeses are a total ripoff you’d nearly be better shopping at Sheridan’s in some cases
The EEC label and number, if you search google you can find the manufacturer.
you’re dead right there
the classic trick to watch out for with packs of cheese is that it might only be partially cheese or in a couple of cases not cheese at all!! watch out for the ingredients stated…if it “contains cheese” or has some bds like “blended cheese” give it a wide berth or even worse “cheese flavouring” :)
unbelievable stuff sometimes
And don’t even talk about their smoked salmon with the big yellow “HALF PRICE” label, with in much much smaller letters a warning that the price on the packet is the price referred to… and the price on the packet appears to be the original one stamped in its plastic.
Should have gone to Aldi OR Lidl. Simple as.
