WW Food and Point Issues - Laughing Cow Cheese

Okay I am going nuts, some help please..... :)

I have been trying to find the Laughing Cow Cheese spread for ever, where do you guys buy it?
I am in Indiana, the stores around me are Kroger, Marsh, Meijer, and Joe O'Malia's ... maybe I am not looking in the right places....please help!!!!

Thanks,

Satine,
In my supermarket, it is displayed on a free-standing rack near the dairy aisle. It is not refrigerated in my store. Hope you find it.

I live in Wisconsin and I can find it at local grocery stores and at Super Wal-Mart's. It is in the cheese/sandwich meat sections and is in a round cardboard container. Good luck! Suggestion: Ask someone who works in the store if they carry that item or if they can order it.

I read a post on the WW website that it was getting in short supply since it is approved to eat on the South Beach diet. I live in MD and usually find it with the regular refrigerated cheeses. Our Sams club also carries a 3 pack . I usually buy it there. I agrre with the other post that you should ask them to get it in for you. Your not the only one on the hunt!!

Thanks everyone.... I did finally find it last night, so now the question is what do I do with it? I did put it on wheat crackers last night... what do you guys do with it?

Thanks!

In our store it is over by the deli meats on an island in the isle. I had to hunt forever before finding it too. ;) ....Sis

Where at in Indiana do you live? I live in Valparasio, Indiana. I came across laughing cow cheese at a store called Al's Valueland. They have it there for $3.49.

I make an egg sandwich almost each morning. I use a 1 point english muffin, 1 laughing cow cheese wedge and an egg spinach square for another 2 points - 4 points total and fills me up. The egg square I bake like a fritatta, cut it in squares and keep it in the freezer. I'm not a morning person so I need things ready to go!
Sometimes I use a soft tortilla spread with a cheese wedge, fill with 0 point veggies and roll up. I use turkey if I have points to spare. Celery filled with the cheese is good too. You can really use your imagination. Beth

Thanks Beth ( and everyone else ) for your help...

I did find it at Joe O'Malia but no where else....and only the one flavor, swiss original lite...

The only flavor they have at Al's is Creamy Swiss... couldn't find just plain old cheese flavor. Oh well! Atleast I found it.

How many points are in a Laughing Cow wedge?

I think 1 wedge of the low fat one is 1pt.

I keep a box in the fridge at work so I can have a snack with crackers or pita bread. I've also nuked it with rice and mushed it together with veggies for lunch.

I put it on celery. As far as I know, it only comes in the Swiss. What is regular cheese flavor?

the point value is the same for the lowfat or the regular. :) I try to get the chive flavor and put it on bagels. But that flavor is hard to find and sells out so fast!

:coffee:
I live in Beech Grove, southeast of Indy...i found the cheese at the new grocery walmart on south keystone....it comes out to 1.35 points..i love to spread it on melba toast.

I put it on celery, stonewheat crackers or wasa crispbread :T

I have always just put it on lite wheat crackers...... Thanks so giving me alot more options now......

They sound great! Yum!

And yes, I saw in the magazine that they are apologing for the shortage of cheese :cheese:

Boy, some of the prices you guys are paying for this stuff are amazing, about a dollar more than in NH! I use the laughing cow lite cheese wedges (one point) spread on lite toasted wheet bread and make a sandwich out of it, for only 2 pounts! It's really good and satisfying. I add 1 cup of cantelope and I am truly full and it keeps me going for the morning. Yummy!
