Update on Cabot OU Kosher Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Remember my original post about Cabot Kosher Cheese back here?  The good news is, the OU Kosher run on delicious Cabot Sharp Cheddar from Vermont is still available and even less expensive than before.  We ordered a case of the Kosher Sharp Cheddar for Pesach and my husband, who is somewhat of a cheese snob, absolutely loves it (sadly, I cannot eat dairy, so I can't partake :( ).  There really is no equivalent of a high-quality sharp cheddar like this in the usual selection of heimishe brand of cheeses.

Now, the OU kosher Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese will be available in Costcos on the East Coast (in-store only) in 1.5 lb. loaves for $6.29!  That's the equivalent of getting it for $2.10 per 8 oz. brick, a major steal.  Unfortunately, only the East Coast Costcos will be carrying it.  Living in Denver, well, it doesn't do us much good.

But the folks at Cabot Cheese were kind enough to give DailyCheapskate readers a discount on all kosher orders bought through their online shop.  When you purchase the OU Kosher Sharp Cheddar and enter promo code CHEAPSKATE at checkout, you will get 10% off your order on the single 8 oz. bricks and 5% off the (already discounted) case of a dozen 8 oz. bricks.  

That means that the single bricks are reduced from $3.49 to $3.14 each and the bricks in the case are reduced from $2.97 to $2.82 each.  Do I need to tell you how inexpensive this is for OU-kosher cheese, especially high-quality cheddar from Vermont?  This promo code is good through 5/31/12.

Shipping starts at $6.75, which is actually not too bad when spread out over several bricks.  We paid $9.75 shipping for a case, which added $0.81 to each brick, and this averages down, the more cheese that you order.  With the promo code discount, this will come to $3.63 per 8 oz. brick in each case, still very reasonable for kosher cheese.  But be aware, the Cabot people have informed me that since it's getting warmer outside, they might need to start requiring 2-day shipping (which is significantly more expensive) to some areas out west after this Thursday, so if you're planning on buying this, try to order this week.
