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.

Cheez-Its ALL THE WAY!!!! Why do they even bother to sell the soooooo subs-tandard Cheese Nip anyway?
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 =)
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.
Can I write-in Goldfish? They are my favorite cheese cracker.
Hands down, Cheez-its
You never cease to crack me up. You are never at a loss for blog fodder, are you? ;-)
Hey, I just signed up for She Speaks! I can’t wait to see you there!!! :-)
Oh, and I’m with Kelly. Goldfish all the way, baby!
Hands down – Cheez It’s have the most cheezy flavor.
Cheese Nips just don’t hit the mark for us, I don’t care if they’re on sale cheaper or not.
Have you ever tried Cheez-Its with Cajun Smoked Salmon Dip? Oh my word, that’s good eating!
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.
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.
Tabasco hot and spicy cheez- its ! Delicious!!!!!
I wish I had some in the house right now… and some diet Dr. Pepper…yummy.
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!
Keep it civil?? What did you think we were going to do – use the chair?? :) You’re so funny.
Hey have you heard there is a chocolate cherry diet dr pepper – anyone tried it??
Cheez its. OBVIOUSLY. But Better Cheddars are even better.
Get it? Better?
But no really they are.

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.”
As a Canadian I’m feeling cheated that I’ve never had either.
I’ve never seen them here and now I’m sad :(
Honestly, I would cry if I could find a box of Cheez-Its in France. For a few weeks, we had Goldfish at one store, but no more. Oh how I long for some processed cheese type crackers!
This is so sad……cuz I am right there with ya sista. I and going to the store in the morning to purchase these little treats. What is even sadder is I am really excited about it.
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. :)
Cheez-Its are a necessity to living. Which reminds me I need to buy a box.
I personally just don’t like cheese crackers. Never have, I’m a freak! I know.
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.
This is too funny. Your post was really funny but the comments cracked me up more..What a great way to start a day that does not promise to be fun at all, but this post will help me thru..laughing as I leave…
Either way is fine with me! You have a celebration when butter is 2/$5?? We can almost always pick it up for under $2. Course, we live a lot closer to the cows up here in MN… :)
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!
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!
Cheez-its, Cheez-its, Cheez-its!!! The only way to go!
Definitely Cheese Nips! I grew up eating these and can’t stand Cheez-its.
It’s crunchy, salty, cheesy and it’s a cracker. Don’t really care as long as it goes down the hatch.
All I am going to write is that when Publix has a buy-one-get-one-free sale, I have to stock up on Cheez-its. I mean like 6 boxes at a time. I have a chees-its arsenal in my basement.
We’re set for Ice Storm 2008.
Cheez-its, no doubt. Cheese nips are poo.
Dang, now I’m hungry for Cheez-its
Cheez-its are fantastic, and are just about the perfect snack food. Cheese nips are a poor imitation.
CHEESE ITS…the hot and spicy ones.Throw a little cottage cheese in the mix girl,and there you have it!
Cheez-Its – Yea! Cheese Nips – Blagghh!
Cheez-Its – the cheese cracker choice of my family!!!
Ha! I could never remember which one it was that I liked better so I had to come up with a reminder “Cheez-Its are It”. I’m such a loser. I remember in high school I ate those Lance cheese cracker “stop signs” for lunch everyday. Still love those too.
Cheese Nips are to Cheez-its like Pepsi is to Coke. You just can’t beat the real thing. The others are just wannabees on the tail end of good taste.
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!
Would you believe I don’t like either? I know, somebody wants to spank me.
Yum! Now I am craving some cheez-its…white cheddar, to be exact! Those are by far my favorite (although the spicy quesso mentioned in one of the comments above, sounds pretty delicious…I must try that sometime.)
Yeah, we love Cheez-its, and just about any kind of cheese flavored crackers…..
And I want you to know my teens LOVE Dave Barnes…..wish I had thought to tell you about him. He is a MS guy and so, so funny. The teens are always coming up with some DaveBARnes-ism….
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.
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!
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.
BTW, i have a box in my office and one in my car….never know when you will crave the cheesy goodness!
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…….
Cheese Nips, Nabisco products are better I think. I’m really shocked that most people like Cheeze-its. And to answer a question Puffs.
