Question Babybel cheese

I am currently in love with the Light Babybel cheese and I was wondering if anybody knows of a place I can buy them in larger quantities than the 6 I get at the store for $4. I love them!

sorry can't help you here, but I love the laughing cow cheese and sometimes I can find it on sale. That is the only time I buy it though, because it too expensive too.

Costco in Canada has them, i think the bag holds 22 or 23 of the cheeses and goes for about $14. I think in the US it is a larger bag and it goes for about $10 bucks or so. Everything is more expensive up here, even though our dollar is the same strength as yours these days......go figure.

I love cheese. One of my favorite snacks is the bag of mini babybels by the laughing cow brand. Greg

Sam's Club has big bags of light Babybel cheese, for around $10 or $11.

Even better (IMHO), is the Cabot 50% cheeses. I think they have more flavor to them. As an added bonus, they're lactose free. Sam's also sells these in a big bag...they are little 3/4 ounce packages. They are actually cheaper per serving than the Babybel cheese.

The Cabot 50% cheese also comes in a regular sized block, in a few different flavors. The pepperjack and the cheddar are great.

I just checked my fridge ...

Costco ... 28 in a bag ... $9.99

The Costco by me only carries the 'original' ... not the 'lite' ... but I devour them just the same!

I pay $5 at the store for 6. I have two left, but I'm getting tired of cheese...and beans, and chili, and instant breakfast. I just want a salad! Is that too much to ask?

Funny you should say that.
I went to Red Lobster for dinner last night and didn't see anything I thought I could get down my throat. So I ordered a garden side salad. The first salad post-op. I ate nearly the whole thing, and I didn't even get sick! Oh man, it was heaven Oh, and I had 1/2 of a biscuit too! Mmmmm ...

Hang in there Sweet Cheeks ... it'll be your turn before you know it!

Oooops. I made a boo-boo. I was at Costco yesterday and checked on the cheese to be sure I was acurate. I said above that it's $9.99 ... it's really $9.59

Sorry, I know I wasn't off by much, but I try my best to give the facts if I can.
