UPDATE: It appears that I was initially given the wrong information about this sale. It is NOT a national sale. It covers Whole Foods located in Idaho, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah only. My apologies to readers who tried to get this price outside of this region.
Kosher cheese has always cost at least 30% more than its non-kosher counterpart, and when you live outside of the New York metro area, you can add at least another 10% to that number.

My stock-up price on kosher cheddar has always been $0.45-$0.50 per oz. Until now, we've always bought the Tillamook kosher cheddar for $3.69 for the 8 oz. brick, which comes to $0.46 per oz. This deal on the 365 cheese blows that price away.
If I buy less than 12 packages of the 365 cheese at $3.49, that comes to $0.29 per oz. If I buy 12 or more packages at once with the 10% discount, that will come to $0.26 per oz. ($4.16 per lb.), almost half of my regular stock-up price. And according to my picky husband, this is some awesome-tasting cheddar.
Yes, we're stocking up.
