Cost of cheese!

I don't know what cheese costs in the Lower 48, but I was SHOCKED by the prices here! These are price I just saw for Tillamook Cheddar:

1# block	$7+
2# block	$10+
5# shredded bag	$20.99

It's a good thing the large majority of my cooking doesn't use cheese! The gourmet cheese prices (at about $10/lb) are starting to reach parity with the regular cheeses, at least when compared with the 1# blocks.

So far, the milk and butter prices don't seem to have gone up quite as dramatically.
