No, I've never seen that one, but, in the weeks before Christmas
cheese comes and goes so fast that if you didn't pick it up when you
saw it your chance is gone. I've had a friend call me to say she saw
such and so cheese this morning when she shopped and I go in the
afternoon and it is gone. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye
out.
