Good, Fast, Cheap:
Pick any two.
Except that's not the case with Global Cheese. Super fast, super cheap, super good.
For those who say its pricey, ummmm... compared to what? I picked up a pound of full flavored Havarti with dill last night for 4 bucks. That's less than the blocks of extruded plastic when they're on sale at No Frills. Global had 5 inch wheels of Camembert this fall for $2.50. Granted, to get that price you had to buy two of them. That's how they GET you.
You do have to be ready to do business. I never find them rude, but if you're still deciding, they'll move on and get back to you. They don't give attitude if you don't buy something you've sampled. You walk in there behind 11 other customers, try five kinds of cheese, and you're still out in 7 minutes. And if you watch the scale you'll see they round down the prices as often as not. 27 bucks worth of cheese? lets call it 25. It's a shtick, I know, and I'm a total slut for it.
Get a container of grated Parmesan. And get a couple of containers of Boursin (garlic cream cheese. they used to have a sign "with GARLIC. Grows hair on your chest.") Name your fave cheeses and ask what's on sale: Sharp old white cheddar 5 bucks a pound. Zippy Swiss 6 bucks a pound.
Then walk ten paces north and get an $8 piece of kielbasa as long as your arm from European meats. Spread Boursin on Kielbasa. Fail in attempt to not eat entire kielbasa and 2 containers of Boursin in one go.
