I just went to the deli to pick up my Christmas cheese order.

[BootMaker]

And guess how much it cost?

I need a lie- down...

😬

I'm so glad we all hate cheese in this house! Crazy money.

You've gone wrong.

Mini BabyBel Variety Pack £3.98
2 x Cheesestrings 8 pack £3.10 each
Laughing Cow £3.10
2 tubes of Primula £2 each

£17.28p

@BootMaker You have created much mirth here - especially Baby cheesus.

On the downside you have led my other half to believe that 2.5kg of cheese is a reasonable amount of cheese to be buying and that anything under £121 is practically a bargain.

I don't have the fridge space for this cheese consumption level y'know.

Calm down Wallace 😃

I was going to say £200 so definitely a bargain!

I love this list for not being the usual

As do I. 37 this evening (although that’s because of a family birthday, so a little excessive even by my standards!). Also never with cheese.

But I could easily spend that much on cheese just for a 5 of us….we all love the stuff!!

Enjoy it, OP!

I bought
Manchego
comte
roquefort
stilton
cheddar
brie

I suppose I spent about £35. I shopped in a variety of supermarkets, plus one from a farm shop.

Cheese n rice (for Jesus Christ...)

I sure hope that you got a mountain of it at that price!

Not even a bit of Wensleydale.

Easily done. I only allow myself to go into our local cheese shop every few weeks because it’s usually £40 just for nice cheeses for me and DH to munch on an evening. I can’t help it when it’s all in front of me.

Earlier in Tesco I threw back some stilton that had been reduced because it was still £3. How the other half live eh

There's a cheese rush on in our town. Struggled to get comte, manchego and sage derby yesterday. I'm going to go tomorrow to a different town.
I can see a point where no one bothers with a turkey dinner and goes straight in with a cheese board and charcuterie.

Tbh @BootMakerI am enjoying this thread v much. I am not a big eater of cheese (too smelly) and don’t buy any now as it just sits uneaten, but if we liked it I would spend £121 on a lavish amount for sure. Your cheeseboard sounds lovely so enjoy.

(I have spent more than that on wine. And I spaffed £28 on a fancy bottle of port at a Christmas market).

Back in the day we’d have been thrilled with a block of Cathedral City and a tube of Primula (with prawns because we were fancy) 😂

Thoughts & Prayers

Are the Red Cross aware?

We have 2 fridge drawers full of assorted cheese plus half a wheel of Jarlsberg in for Christmas, so I applaud your dedication to cheese OP. Though we only have so much as I am lucky enough to work for a cheese maker so there are freebies

I wanna gonna say £130 😁

Never mind Boursin, what’s wrong with a lump of cheddar, some Babybels, a couple of Dairylea triangles and a box of Ritz crackers?!

Calm down Wallace 😃 Bloody love this 😂😂😂

I loveeeee cheese 🧀!
My daughter said make sure u have plenty of cheese when u go food shopping lol 😀
Our whole family love cheese !!
😋 I'm getting excited now for Xmas cheese nibbles 🐭

I'm no cheese snob, I can't deny the thrill of squeezy cheese.

Laughing cow gets my vote.

And those little French aparativo cubes, spech the ham ones.

😂🧀😂
