I have four kids so I make A LOT of pizza.  That means we go through A LOT of cheese.  Here's how I always have cheese on hand.

I buy pre-shredded mozzarella cheese at CostCo in bulk.  One bag is about 40 cups of cheese.  Even through it's shredded, it's cheaper than buying it in a block.  And it's one less thing for me to do!

I also buy sandwich size Ziploc baggies at CostCo.  You'll need them for this tip.  Add 1 cup of cheese to one sandwich baggie.  Jiggle the cheese around so that it's flat and uniform in the baggie.


Seal the bag all except for a finger widths amount.  That's the air escape valve.  So technical!


Roll up your bag to squeeze out all the air.

Seal up the opening.

Look!  It's vacuum sealed!  I just saved you $100 on a vacuum sealer!  I take checks and credit cards.

Nice and flat and air tight!  Now stack them up and put them in your freezer.  One bag it good for one good sized pizza.  And since you just bagged up 40 c. of cheese, you can make 40 pizzas!
