Normally I just circle the really good grocery deals. You know, like if Land O Lakes butter is two for five dollars, or Cokes are five for eleven dollars, or Pillsbury biscuits are five for five dollars.
But when I saw this? I needed arrows.
I needed three arrows, to be exact.
And then some exclamation points.
Because while I have no idea whether or not the price is good, DO YOU SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO CHEESE FLAVORS IN ONE BOX?
TWO CHEESE FLAVORS? IN ONE BOX?
Sharp cheddar? AND parmesan?
IN ONE BOX?
This is an unexpected, precious blessing.
And while we’re at it, do y’all have a preference in the Cheese Nips / Cheez-It showdown?
Personally, I find Cheez-It to be the far superior snack cracker.
As always, I welcome your comments on this deeply important topic.
But please, let’s keep it civil.

Well, this should rock your boat, I don’t get cheez-it’s here where I live. I get cheese Nips, but I prefer Ritz……
January 31st, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Cheez-its. No question about it.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I prefer Cheez-its, but only because the Cheddar Jr was discontinued twenty years ago.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Definitely Cheez-its — hands down. My kids even prefer them and my kids will eat anything!
Cheez-its are well…cheezier and Nips are well, nippier….
(I have no idea what that means — it was just fun to type!)
Cheezin’-it up in Tennessee,

I’ve always been a fan of cheez-its with easy cheese on them, but I haven’t had it in awhile, for obvious health reasons (like not wanting to die young).
January 31st, 2008 at 6:35 pm
I got my eyes on those cheez-it dous! I am going to look for them for my superbowl snack!
January 31st, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Hey I just saw these today, & they had spicy queso with white cheddar, HELLO my new fav snack cracker!!
January 31st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Did you ever try Cheez-It Twisterz? They combined the two flavors in a little twist. They were sOOOOO good, but they’re gone now. Sigh…
January 31st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Oh, it’s certainly Cheese Its.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:53 pm
actually i like better cheddar’s ::giggle:: but between those two, id have to go with cheez-it, and my sons will tell you the same, they dont like the nips!
January 31st, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Cheeze-itz are the best. Love their commercials.
I bet you could fit a box or two of those in your suitcase or carry on bag for your upcoming trip……
January 31st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Cheez-It. Hands down.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Cheese its! And I like the parmesan flavor best. We keep them stocked in our office and most days find me carrying a napkin full to my desk around 3. :-)
January 31st, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Definitely Cheez-its! And I’ll be even more specific and say parmesan. Although, I think there’s a white cheddar flavor that’s really good, too.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Cheez-its all the way!!!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
This post is crackerin’ me up ;)!
Those whacky snack people…what will they think of next???
:)
January 31st, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Cheez-it all the way!! I thought it only mattered to my family. We are cheez-it sisters!!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
You know…I have a “cheez-it chicken” recipe that my kids actually love as much as me which is saying a lot if you knew my kids. It basically consists of chicken cut into bite-sized pieces, dipped in mayo and rolled around in crushed cheez-its and baked for 15 minutes. There’s a few other ingredients if you’re interested. I used to go back and forth with cheez-its vs. goldfish for kiddie snacks and after I tried the two…Cheez-its wins hands down!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Amen to the Cheez-Its. My husband totally doesn’t understand, but boy my two children and I do!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Is there any other??? Cheez-its!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:51 pm
There is already a box in my cupboard. Kudos!
Smiles!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:52 pm
This is so funny because we have a box of each in the house. The hideous cheese nips were on sale, the daycare kids can eat those. This week cheez-its are on sale. Those are mine! Cheese nips have a foul taste & texture. The cheez-its are crispy and delicious!
Okay I’ll stop now. Thanks for the post.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:55 pm
My daughter saw that same box in the store today, and was as delighted as you.
Cheez-its all the way, though the Aldi brand of them taste remarkably close, so we usually buy those.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I don’t know if they’re Itz or Nips, but my son really likes the White Cheddar kind. The Jalapenos ain’t bad either.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Well, I have to throw my 2 cents in because I heart Cheez-Its!! I think they are tastier for some reason and look at that, right before the Super Bowl. Truly a blessing. :o)
January 31st, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Wow… I can’t believe I am the only one so far who prefers Cheese Nips. Maybe I’m just the only brave one who will admit it. Cheez-Its always taste a little on the burnt side to me. I’m a Nip kind of girl; and I especially like the low-fat ones. With a Diet Coke.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:28 pm
You are a natural, no really I feel like we are kindred spirits with all the ad circling and arrows! I do the exact same thing, every Wednesday, rain or shine.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:29 pm
You crack me up.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:29 pm
How did I miss this??? How long has the duo been a duo?? I’m off to find these bad boys and eat til I’m sick! :)
January 31st, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Cheese Nips. Definitely. With Fresca.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:39 pm
I hate Cheese Nips with a passion! I love the Cheez-it’s and we eat the low fat ones and they taste ridiculous with Coke Zero :-)
January 31st, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Try them with cream cheese on top… Laurie
January 31st, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Cheez Itz with peanut butter! YUM!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Definitely Cheez-its!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:48 pm
No doubt about it they must be Cheez-It’s!
Although I am a fan of the generic products this is one of those you just can’t go generic on. The other is JIF peanut butter.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I haven’t seen those, but I’m keeping my eye out for them now!
Cheez-Its…my preferred flavor is the white cheddar…with an ice cold Dr. Pepper…during naptime, so I won’t have to share :)
January 31st, 2008 at 8:51 pm
CHEEZ-IT TWISTERS are the most ADDICTIVE things I have ever brought into this house, snack cracker-wise. My oldest agrees. They are one of my “trigger” foods so I had to just say NO. On a similar note: oldest asked me to not buy goldfish crackers anymore, instead buy “whales”? Some knock off, but she’s right, they’re better!!!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Oh goodness, hand’s down it’s Cheez-its all the way. If I ever get up in the middle of the night for a snack–it’s always the Cheez-its. Food of the gods.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Ugh. I think we ALL know that the only true cheese-based-cracker-of-goodness is the Goldfish.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:04 pm
I really prefer the BIG Cheez-Its. I guess the bigger they are, the better they taste. Or something like that. ;)
January 31st, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I think they BOTH have their place, but I DO prefer Cheez-It. Of course, I also love me some Lance “stop signs.” Those are GOOD.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Oh, Boomama, you have just endeared yourself to me even more! First your obvious love of the cheese cracker (whoo-hoo for 2 flavors in one box) and then stating you find cheez-its to be far superior. You are so right about that!!
January 31st, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Cheez-Its for sure.
Here’s one for you. Cheetos. Puffs or Crunchy? (Me, crunchy)
January 31st, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I do not care for cheese flavored crackers or chips, although I love actual cheese, so go figure.
But my child (who I know wasn’t switched at birth because I was there when he came out) loves cheddar flavored goldfish crackers more than words can express.
He also likes barbecue chips (blech!) and hotdogs (ick!) with cheese in them (double ick!)…
And now I’ve outed myself as someone who lets their child eat such bad-for-them foods.
But my husband gave him the barbecue chip. And we give him mostly healthy things, of course.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:16 pm
I am not sure that I know which I prefer, but my 3 year old will ONLY eat Cheez-its. Yeah, she is a brand name snob – thank you Nickelodean!!!! I once bought a generic (this is where you sigh, roll your eyes and wonder why you don’t just write me off right now) and she ate ONE and refused to eat anymore. Did not even like the Sesame Street variety – although I cannot blame her there!!!
AND, I must say that if two flavors come in one box, I am SOLD!!!
So, yeah, cheez-its here!!!
January 31st, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Cheez its are what I like best. They are more salty. Cheez nips are more cheddary. There is a difference…I really prefer Cheez its though – they are salty goodness. Amen.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:25 pm
We are a Cheez-its family. The big box size you buy at Sam’s Club.
January 31st, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Totally Cheez-Its. Hands down better! Kelly
January 31st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
We are definitely a Cheez-Its family around here. Considering when little man is with his papaw, they can finish a box start to finish in under 2 hours!
I can only eat them if I have a cold Diet Coke to go with them! yummy!
January 31st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
We are a Cheez-it family with four of us liking the “cold” Cheez-its (a.k.a.regular ones) and three of us liking the “hot” Cheez-its with the hot and spicy tobacco sauce….which go extremely well with Diet Coke. I guess you know which group I fit in. ;-)
