Presliced cheese is typically more expensive than block. Alfredo is cheap to make from scratch. The instant Mac that comes in the microwavable bowls are like 2.5x the price per ounce of the ones that are just packets.
I've always held that belief about block vs shredded/sliced cheese, but in my receny grocery trips, I've noticed that all the stores in my area charge the same by weight for block, shredded, and sliced. Obviously YMMV
Same for me. It used to be the case that a block of cheese was cheaper than sliced or grated, but at some point in the last 10 years it's evened out. That's the case for every store I shop at.
I realized that too ages ago. But I still find blocks better for 2 reasons. 1) you can cut cheese mold off and the rest is perfectly fine so blocks can last longer. 2) shredded does have anti caking agents to keep it loose. Nothing bad IMO, but unnecessary for my cooking.
I feel like the anti faking agent dulls the flavor. sometimes it's worth it though cause grating can be a hassle and maybe your gonna melt it.
They also use some sort of thickener that turns into mucusy slime when water is poured on it so you don't have to use milk or butter. We're at the point now where there are better ways to eat your processed foods, LOL.
