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……

Cheez-its. No question about it.

I prefer Cheez-its, but only because the Cheddar Jr was discontinued twenty years ago.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Dori says:
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).

I got my eyes on those cheez-it dous! I am going to look for them for my superbowl snack!

Hey I just saw these today, & they had spicy queso with white cheddar, HELLO my new fav snack cracker!!

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…

Oh, it’s certainly Cheese Its.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
jenn says:
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 6:53 pm
Melene says:
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……

Cheez-It. Hands down.

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 7:07 pm
Fresh Girl says:
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.

Kami says:
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 7:32 pm

Amen to the Cheez-Its. My husband totally doesn’t understand, but boy my two children and I do!

Mary B says:
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 7:52 pm
Valerie@Consider It Done says:
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 7:55 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.

Patty says:
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 8:13 pm
Holly says:
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.

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.

ginny says:
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 8:50 pm
Lynn says:
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 8:51 pm
Vicki Courtney says:
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.

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 9:04 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 9:07 pm
Jenny says:
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 9:08 pm
Melanie says:
Cheez-Its for sure.
Here’s one for you. Cheetos. Puffs or Crunchy? (Me, crunchy)

kittyhox says:
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 9:15 pm
Becky Jo says:
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 9:16 pm
dana says:
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.

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
Caroline says:
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. ;-)

Cheez-Its ALL THE WAY!!!! Why do they even bother to sell the soooooo subs-tandard Cheese Nip anyway?
January 31st, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Stephanie says:
This is sad, but I have tried both and I hated one of them really really bad the last time I bought them, but I can’t remember which one it is, so I have been afraid to buy either kind since (it’s been 2 years). After reading your comments, I’m thinking it was the cheese nips that were nasty LOL I may need to make a trip to the grocery store tomorrow to get some cheez-its for the super bowl =)
January 31st, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Sincerely Anna says:
Cheez-Its, hands down. No contest. 100%. In the pocket, oh yeah. Party over here.
Not really in the pocket. I was just on a roll with the expressions and I know you appreciate the expressions. :)
White cheddar, please.

Have you ever tried Cheez-Its with Cajun Smoked Salmon Dip? Oh my word, that’s good eating!

Darlene says:
Cheez-it’s rock! Can you believe I passed those up at the store today? What was I thinking? I had the cheesy goodness IN MY HANDS and I put them back. I chose the half pretzel half cracker crackers instead.
You are ashamed, aren’t you? I am.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Staci at Writing and Living says:
I’ll eat Cheez-its if I’m desperate, but I personally don’t care for the cheese cracker.
Now, real cheese is a whole ‘nuther story.
I prefer to buy Cheese Nibs because they regularly go on sale for a dollar a box at the grocery store.

Wow! Now I’m wondering how the Cheese Nip people stay in buisness! It’s funny, my hubs and I like the Cheez-its better, but our daughters like the Nips more. I think it’s probably just another way to get under mommies skin!

Cheeze-its, but you just have to be thinking in the back of your mind, “trans fat.” What do I know, I didn’t check, but anything that crispy and fake-cheesy just screams, “there must be something wrong with this.”

We love Cheese-Its. I used to buy a big box when I was in college and put cream cheese on top. Great study food! Now we usually get the white cheddar kind. I’m afraid that I have gotten my six year old hooked too. :)

MyBestInvest says:
It’s a scientific fact that Cheez-Its are better than Nips. You can look it up, or you could just ask a scientist, because all the scientists know.
I did some research on why Cheez-Its are so much more awesome than Nips, and it turns out that the use of the letter “z” in the word Cheez actually adds extra flavor to the cracker.

Oh - Cheez-its all the way. And they have a Spicy flavor that uses green tabasco - it is TO DIE FOR - (if you like spicy). Mmmmm…. love Cheez-its… their new slogan - get your own box - if been sayin it for years!
February 1st, 2008 at 7:20 am
Melissa says:
I don’t like Cheez-its, at least not the original flavor. However, I would be willing to try some of the new flavors to see if they are more palatable. Enjoy the special box!

Oh, and as far as I’m concerned, those parmesan crackers have no business being in that cheddar cracker box. Ew.

Cheez-its! I just got my son Shrek shaped ones and saw the duo box in my Target this week. The two flavors were cheddar blanco and get this….SPICY QUESO! Could there be anything better! And they are two for five dollars at Target right now. So hurry on over ther to buy some. You’ll need them in Uganda in case you have a queso craving you can’t quite fulfill.
Okay, I’m pathetic, but I would totally take them with me!

Jessica Hekman says:
Cheeze-Its were my go-to snack cracker for quite a few years, however recently I have been converted to Goldfish. The Goldfish are airier, lighter, and have a better flavor. They are so fun to pop into your mouth one at a time and crunch away. The Cheeze-Its taste much too greasy and heavy in comparison to the Goldfish. Goldfish also go great with beer and wine I might add. In my opinion, they are the perfect cheesy snacking cracker.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:32 am
Amy says:
you know those stupid surveys that people send out and ask you a million questions (that i secretly love to answer)…well, on food, my answer is CHEEZ-ITS. there is a simple reason why i perfer them over Cheese Nips: FAT CONTENT. CHEEZ-ITS have more fat, therefore, I love them!
February 1st, 2008 at 10:38 am
Nancy B says:
Cheez-its win, hands down! No other snack cracker can take it’s place in our pantry. Will have to look for the duos on my next excursion to the grocery store! The family will be thrilled.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:39 am

BTW, i have a box in my office and one in my car….never know when you will crave the cheesy goodness!

Nicole (canadacole) says:
Laura, I think I’ve had the Cheese Nips (gross) but I think we Canadians are being denied the goodness of the Cheeze-Its. What a crime! We should set up some kind of exchange system…smarties maybe?
I can eat an entire box of the Swiss Cheese crackers in one sitting though. If I can keep them from my kids long enough :)

In our household, we love cheese crackers in any form available. Hubby is PBC (peanut butter & cheese), Daughter is COC (cheese on cheese), & I am AOTA (all of the above).
Not to totally de-rail the cheese train, but We.also.love.Cheetos. After school, my daughter & i will get out the Mr Twisty Twisted Cheese Curls & go to town.
However. Now that there are (TWO) cheezy goodnesses available in (ONE) package, at a store near me, I feel enlightened. And emboldened. February is looking better already…….

Cheez-Its hands down are a much better, tastier cracker. Cheese Nips taste like an imitation of an imitation cheese cracker. :-)

Cheez-it’s make my eating life worth living. I just adore them. They are the perfect cheesy/salty/addictive mix. And I must run out right now to find this duo box - it truly is an unexpected blessing.
Also, if you google “Cheez-it coasters” you can find a pattern to make coasters that look exactly like Cheez-it’s. If I had an ounce of craftiness, I would be all over that. Diet Coke on a Cheez-it coaster + ACTUAL Cheez-it’s….that’s just too fabulous.
February 1st, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Sally says:
ohmygravy, Missy: that’s probably into another space/time continuum…..
The only thing that could possibly be better, IMHO, would be a Cheeto neck roll pillow to go with….baked to a delicate crunch, of course……
February 1st, 2008 at 2:05 pm

Totally Cheez-Its! I had to stop buying them, tho. I would eat a whole box in one sitting and still be craving more. =)

An absolute no-brainer!! White Cheddar Cheez-Its are positively the best!! I think they sprinkle them with crack or something b/c I can eat half a box without coming up for air! I had to turn the kids onto them so I don’t have as much of the box to obsess on! And that recipe up above where you roll chicken in crushed Cheez-Its….my girlies would go into an ecstasy coma if I made that!

Cheez-It all the way, sister! And when added to the Chex Party Mix, you’re really mixin’ it up! Hey, you should do a rap about it! ;) And have you tried the tabasco flavored Cheez-Its? They’re yum!

Too fun. Have to jump in here and just say that my Daddy loved those Cheese Nips and I did for a long time…until one day I crossed the line and tried Cheez-Its. Ooh la la! They have just the kick this cajun girl loves!

My grocery store is on this cycle of selling Cheese Nips 10/$10 about once a month or so. The cheapness in me can’t bear to spend a whole $2.50 for Cheez-Its, so I haven’t had one in so long it’s not even funny! I think I still like Cheez-Its better, but it’s possible I’ve led my tastebuds down a slippery slope in which they may never taste the same . . .

I believe that that specific box of Duos Cheez-its was created for me and my soon to be husband. We recently had an entire discussion on how good these two flavors tasted together, and how Cheez-its needed to get on the ball and put them in the same box.
I had nothing to do with the actual move of the company, but I will take any credit that I can get.
Cheez-its are my preference.

You may be past reading comments here, but, well, that won’t stop me.
I have a yummy yummy yummy (did I mention it’s yummy?) recipe for summer squash casserole that uses Cheez-Its or Nips or whatever you happen to throw in the cart. Oh, the cheese yumminess, you never even know you’re eating healthy squash!
Oh, and Nips for me personally but I’m not too discriminating.

There’s no competition.
The Cheez-It would be all “In YOUR FACE, Cheese Nip!!”
Then some Yo-Mama slams would go back and forth, about whose mama was the stinkier cheese, or which wine the other’s mama did or did not go well with.
But the Cheez-It would totally win. Even in trash talk.

Once I sent my husband to the store to buy some Big Nips, and he came back with some new and faster flowing nipples for the baby’s bottle. Can we say HiLARious miscommunication?!

And tho I like crackers too as much as the next guy, I guess, I just don’t like the ones where they get that yellowish powder all over your face…but probly wouldn’t buy crackers right now anyway, since roommate and I are trying to do “low-carbs”…whatever THAT is supposed to mean…

According to my kids, it’s Cheez-its, hands down. I had no idea. I was always buying whatever was on sale at the time.

who knew there was such a cheez-it’s underground of devoted adorees! Who knew there was such a division among its-ers and nips-ers? Who knew? I for one prefer the -its, and this new found item is an answer to prayer (no, not literally) as I can never decide which flavor to get! Cheez-its and diet coke…it’s a PMS dream come true!

Precious indeed! There are simply no words…Mmmm…Cheez-Its

My kids love Cheez-its, but not Cheeze Nips. This is fine with me except that the multisnack pack with other things they like has the dreaded Nips.

Cheez-its, definitely Cheez-its. My son thinks Cheese Nips taste like they are stale.

I know this is so “way after the post” but I followed the discussion when it started. Then today I was in Target (and I was doing so well to only get the 5 things I needed while I was there - not fill up the cart to over $100 worth) - the marketing genius was so evident - the DUOS were right on the end cap at the 10 items or less checkout lane… there is just no way to say no! I have found my next new snack addiction, thank you very much. (almost as good as the Rold Gold Cheddar Cheese Pretzels)
