What is everyone paying for cheese?

Just curious, I paid a record high for a lb. of cheese at $3.19. My supplier says this is normal due to the start of school, but insists it will go down soon. I wonder if I am paying to much? Just curious what everyone else is paying?

Thanks,

3.46 Grande’ East Coast Blend diced. 9 years ago when I first started my shop it was 1.87. Being priced correctly and using portion control is so very important and now more than ever. hopefully this won’t last long.

The cheese market has plummeted the last week and a half and is now at prices not seen since the middle of August. We should see our prices start coming down in the near future. While the prices are still much higher than they are historically this time of year, I’m thrilled there is at least some relief in sight and hopefull that the freefall continues for another few weeks.

It’s on the rise again… when it’s been down it certainly hasn’t stayed down for long. 2.38 for lmps.

What brand? Shredded or block? We need details or else this is like saying what is everyone paying for cars?

I am angry about this forum. It always gives poor pricing comments that are not real about the market. I started a thread about Cheese prices about a month ago and I am shocked about the prices I hear in this forum. Here are the prices for this week from Restaurant depot, Meatco delivery and BOVA

Who and where are the suppliers that the same people in this forum talk about. Perhaps it is old cheese or may be they give those joints other products and do not care about the cheese. how much do you pay for the french fries or the case of soda or the napkins . May be they make money some place else …

Your market must be higher priced than most of the rest of the nation for whatever reason. The RD in California has never gone above $2.75lb for block Mozzarella during these cheese run ups.

I get LMPS Della Vita blocks from FSA, 2.39 this week. Roma prices me about a dime higher for the same stuff… RD is usually about .20 cents higher although at times when the price jumps real high real quick I can drive up and pick it up for below block price because they haven’t adjusted their prices yet. I get flour, pep, boxes and cheese from FSA… other stuff from Roma. I don’t think they make it up for me anywhere else as I go to RD for paper goods, spices, and cleaning supplies. I would never spend a dime on paper goods with FSA or Roma because their prices suck and my sales reps know they suck. Same with spices. I’m sure they make money on me somehow, perhaps in volume because I do order a lot of everything.

I am in Iowa.
Use PFG roma.
Block Raffinato provolone $3.15 lb I use no mozz on pizza.
Gold Medal Harvest King flour $16.67 50lb

no wings here for me as I do not have a fryer.
I get many paper products from pfg as Sams Club is actually higher on many items.
There are items I do not get from PFG cuz they do suck on many. Lemonade, milk, rotella buns, hinged containers, garlic, cottage cheese, soap, and a few others are my core items i make a trip to Sams weekly to get.

Prices quoted this past week to us for LMPS US Food $2.70, Sysco $2.77

Still using the inventory we loaded up on before the last price run up. Hoping the price will drop next week since the CME price dropped about three weeks ago.

Both skyrocketed from $2.70 2 weeks ago

On the plus side flap meat is at 4.76 lb choice.
Chicken tenders are softening at $1.85 down from $2.65 over the summer
