We don't have a salvage (discounted food) store near here, or at least I haven't been able to find it! No Aldi's either, darn it.
What I do about cheese is buy it in bulk or when it goes on sale at the supermarket and then freeze it. Right now I have goat cheese and Brie in the freezer. I don't buy grated cheese, my food processor can do that, or DH, and block cheese is usually cheaper than grated.
Also, President cheese puts out a booklet almost every year with coupons in it. They aren't high, like 20-50 cents each, but there's 4 or so in the booklet and my local supermarkets will double up to $1, so they get doubled here. The coupons are good for nearly a year, so I just wait until the President cheeses I'm interested in go on sale and stock up.
