Cheese Move

My family just loves "CHEESE". A normal 500g packet of shredded cheese can't even last in my fridge for 3 weeks. That's how fast cheese move in my family.

This is the size that I usually get ... 2 kg shredded chedder cheese. The usual brand that i used are out of stock, so will need to make do with any brand now.

Now I'll need to observe how fast this packet of cheese run out ?
