weird, I have the exact opposite for where I shop for cheese. The blocks are usually cheaper (usually like half as much). Though they like to play games with the prices. Where 16oz will be one price one week and 2 8oz will be more than the 16. Then 2 weeks later the opposite will be true. The downside is grating it takes time. But if you do go with block get a firmer cheese. Some of the brand names will not be very firm and slime out the grater. I usually have pretty good luck with the 'store brand'.
