I only work part time so when I am working like to buy food ahead. I would like to know how long you store cheese - such as Velveeta and the bagged shredded cheese. I use a lot of both and would like to buy ahead to have it available when I'm not working. I have a refrigerator to be used just for that.

I buy cheese in 5 pound packages,shredded and sliced. I measure out one pound packages and freeze it. I like the processed american cheese that costco sells. It thaws well and I cannot tell that it has been frozen.
i buy italian grated cheese .i freeze it for up to 4 months when i run out then stockup again for another 4 months the same for american & mozzerella.it all freezes well.the mozzerella i just take out a handful for whatever i need it for. try it it will be just fine oh i am on ss also
Be sure to freeze your cheese, whether you buy it shredded or shred it yourself. Otherwise it will mold. Don't ask how I know this.
Your potatoes and onions should be stored in a dark, cool, dry place, but not the fridge.
you can put your cheese in baggies and freeze it. it is not a good idea to put potatoes in the fridge. put them in a dark place with no other veg. onions can be kept this way for a short time. cut onions and freeze in small containers for use in soups, sauces, etc.
I have not tried this yet. But I have read that adding a little flour or cornstarch to grated cheese before freezing keeps it seperated and easier to use.
Be sure to freeze in amounts useful to your needs.
Grated cheese from the store will last a really long time if you keep a paper towel in with the cheese to absorb moisture. Just replace the paper towel often. We have grated cheese in the bag last us for a good month or two with no issues.
