Frugal Find-- Feta cheese

I love sprinkling bits of Greek Feta cheese on my salads. Unfortunately I have noticed the price of feta (like many other cheeses) skyrocket in recent months.
It costs $3.29 for a 4oz container of Atheno's Feta at Rainbow. The President Feta isn't better at $4.79 for a 6 oz container.
There is a better deal out there. Visit Holyland Bakery and Deli, in Minneapolis. (http://www.holylandbrand.com/).
They have tubs of Feta cheese at the deli that they sell by the pound (16 oz). You can buy Greek Feta cheese for $4.99 per pound. Just today I bought 1/3 of a pound of feta for $1.30. That's less than half the price of the same cheese Rainbow sells for $3.29!
If you have a Costco membership and plan to make a dish using feta (such as Spanikopita), the wholesaler is a good alternative.
They sell President Feta for $3.39 a pound. That means you can get a 2.5 lb chunk of the cheese for $8.41. They also sell the cheese crumbled. A 20 oz container costs $6.39.
What about you, have you found a great deal on a favorite food you'd like to share with the readers?
