I can never find lowfat or fat free cheese in my grocery store, they have mozerella that is made with skim but I can never find fat free cheddar or even low fat should i be looking in a different store?

There is only one store out of about 4 in my area that carries the fat free cheddar and mozarella. I make sure I stock up whenever I'm there. It's a Safeway, so you might try that chain or one of their local names stores (mine is really Genuardi's).

Kroger, Food Lion, Kmart, Wal*Mart, Farm Fresh.

Ask your store manager if they will order some for you. Many times they will add a product if enough people ask for it. Or they will special order products for regular customers.

I know the Tops by me carries it in shredded cheddar and mozzerella as well as American and Sharp Cheddar cheese slices. So I would try Tops markets.

I actually like a lot of things FF except cheese. Unfortunately that means I can't eat a lot of it. More power to you.

Ingle's has a pretty good selection if you got one.

Finding low fat cheese is hit and miss at my local grocery stores. If I can't stock up, I mix 1/2 full fat and 1/2 skim mozzarella cheese when using it in cooking. Cheese is one of my downfalls!

The fat-free shredded cheeses are pretty decent. I used the fat-free mozzarella a couple of weeks ago on some homemade lasagna. It came out really good.

I know what you mean about some ff products, though. I can't handle the ff salad dressings. I've tried just about all of them to try and get used to one, but I just can't. Now, some of the light dressings I can handle. But not the ff ones. Then I read an article that says you shouldn't use totally fat-free dressing on your salads anyway because you need a certain amount of fat in order to absorb the nutrients from the vegetables.

Go figure.

Whether it's true or not, it made me happy, lol.
