Goodbye Gouda

Somewhere along the way my kids developed a taste for Gouda cheese. They love it with crackers or by itself. Unfortunately....Gouda is not in my budget these days.

Grocery prices are astronomical now and a trip to the supermarket involves trade-offs I never thought I'd make! We eat a lot more chicken, and I can't remember the last time I bought steaks! I also realize that day-old bread is fine for my family, especially since my kids seem to go through a loaf a day!

So the only cheese I get these days is the sliced American brand, for sandwiches. "Where's the Gouda?" my kids ask. "In the gas tank," I tell them.
