My friend bought one of those expensive cured spanish ham legs from a grocery store. It was sitting on a stand/knife set. It was labeled poorly and he got the leg and the set for 200 bucks...which was the price of the stand/knife...the leg was 2000.
My buddy was in Spain with his wife for their honeymoon and got quite drunk and ordered an i Iberico ham at a shop to be sent back to the states. This was long before we met them but she still slaps him around every time she tells the story.
So much pasta, so much mashed potatoes, so much chicken parm... It would just be a parmesan fest through springtime. I'd be putting Parmesan on my ramen and giving every sandwich a bit of a sprinkle.
Fun tip: the rind on these things isn’t wax, it’s mega hard cheese. Keep it! You can use it to infuse parm flavour into sauces by just laying it in there, and then pulling it out when you’re done simmering. So flavourful!!! Extra bang for your buck!
Ohhh my god, I work at a popular, very nice grocery store chain here in FL, to give away $400 worth of cheese for $10.... I think they would actually strap you to a table and flay you 🤣🤣💀💀
$465 if 44.6 pounds at $10.44, but someone mentioned that Parmesan typically sells for more like $25 a pound so someone marked that shit double wrong. That's more like $1100 worth of cheese.
Give that shit to friends and family. Don't let good cheese go to waste. I'd have bought it, too. Hell, wegded and frozen, it can last for up to a year. LOL
That’s a legit score. I pulled the same thing at Home Depot with husky tool box mat. I got a whole case for the price of one roll. The case was priced as one roll. Well that’s how it scanned. I paid and left and still have 3 rolls left. That was years ago.
Yeah bought ten boxes of trim cause there was 10 pieces per box so when he scanned it he thought the price was for each box but it was per piece so ended up getting. 1000’ or solid Acadia for 38$. Instead of 380$.
Got a pound and a half of sliced roast beef for like $2.50 once. I'd have put it back if they wanted me to. They knew something was wrong and I was just sitting there like a Karen like "well, it scanned that price didn't it?" I kid but I wasn't gonna buy it for the appropriate price and they didn't have a different way to ring it up so I got a bunch of free roast beef and the cashier got to bitch about the lazy assholes running the deli for like five minutes. The store would have never noticed it was gone so everyone wins.
Where I live, if an item is priced incorrectly, they have to sell it to you at the sticker price. Even if another staff member or a manager queries it. It's part of our consumer law. (Manager of multiple retail stores for 20 years)
Don't blocks of parmesan last a long time due to the low moisture content? I could google but I would like to give someone with cheese knowledge a chance to shine.
Parmesan is the densest, driest cheese, and will keep for a long time in a cool dark dry place. It's also the fattest, this guy is gonna put on 40 pounds this year.
Actually, if you check the consumer price for a pound of this particular cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano) it averages around $25 a pound. That wasn't just the wrong price, it was the wrong piece of cheese entirely. Even though there would be a bulk discount for a resturaunt, for a consumer he is getting a hell of a deal.
I am 100% in this guy’s camp. His laugh when he weighs it is magic. If I ever get the chance to buy 44 pounds of parm for $10.44., I’m taking it without any reservations.
Man is wasted as fuck. His wife came on the other thread and said he drove their children home too. She tried to convince everyone he was sober though.. doubtful.
That should be way more than 10.44 a lb. Regardless that was a steal. Parm wheels are I think about 70-80lbs and cost like $1700-1800. He basically got $1700 of parm for free
That is a GIANT score. When I came home after a year in Italy, I brought a kg (2.2lbs) of Parmegiano Reggiano with me. I was very sad when I went into my bedroom a few hours after I arrived and found a ripped-open packet, some crumbs and a sleeping dog.
Seriously I'd do the same thing every chance I get. Best Buy had a misprinted price tag on a 65" TV and when asked if that was correct they said yes. I showed another customer and we each bought a TV $1100 below retail.
Dude is a legend. He saw an opportunity and he grabbed it. It didn't matter what it was. It was an opportunity! Now he has a lifetime of pasta eating to do.
Wife and I were in Stop and Shop in Groton, CT and we saw a WHOLE wheel mis-priced at about $20. I should have gone right to the register but we continued shopping.
I don't know why she isn't giving the guy a high five. A pound of good parmesan can go for $14. So 14 * 20 folks I mean to me it sounds like he made a really smart business decision.
Supermarkets actually have the lowest profit margins of almost any industry (between 1-3%). It’s competitive as heck. They aren’t the ones gouging, the food producers are.
That laugh when he realized it was twice as heavy as he thought it was. Dudes absolutely beaming
TMW you realize your victory was twice as good as you thought
He's not beaming, he's hammered.
Im surprised those scales even registered that weight. Thats a big bit of cheese for house hold scales.
Bros about to turn into a waiter at Olive Garden
6 hours should be long enough to get 44lbs shredded.
“Don’t stop baby… keep going” -Me, whispering to a visually terrified server
But you have to guess the safe word
Made me laugh! Happy turkey day to you!
“Keep going til you hit bone.”
My friend bought one of those expensive cured spanish ham legs from a grocery store. It was sitting on a stand/knife set. It was labeled poorly and he got the leg and the set for 200 bucks...which was the price of the stand/knife...the leg was 2000.
Wait…iberico ham? That is insane
You can get those at Costco for ~200. Doesn’t come with a knife set though.
Those legs come with the knife/stand set and they aren’t anywhere near $2000. You’re really confused.
My buddy was in Spain with his wife for their honeymoon and got quite drunk and ordered an i Iberico ham at a shop to be sent back to the states. This was long before we met them but she still slaps him around every time she tells the story.
Oh I'd make so much spaghetti
cacio e pepe?
Parmesan crisps!
I literally just saw a chef
Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan.
Carbonara for days
So much pasta, so much mashed potatoes, so much chicken parm... It would just be a parmesan fest through springtime. I'd be putting Parmesan on my ramen and giving every sandwich a bit of a sprinkle.
Fun tip: the rind on these things isn’t wax, it’s mega hard cheese. Keep it! You can use it to infuse parm flavour into sauces by just laying it in there, and then pulling it out when you’re done simmering. So flavourful!!! Extra bang for your buck!
There lots of good uses for parmesan besides spaghetti
Ohhh my god, I work at a popular, very nice grocery store chain here in FL, to give away $400 worth of cheese for $10.... I think they would actually strap you to a table and flay you 🤣🤣💀💀
Yeah Publix wouldn't be having it.
Publix?
I worked at Wegmans where you make a show of cracking the wheel with a chisel, it would have been very bad. It looks like real Parmigiano reggiano
"so I made an executive decision" lol, this man rocks
"What's your plan for that cheese?"
"You're really proud of yourself, aren't you?"
Lol my man just had the ultimate cheese come up
The laugh while he says make it come across as, "yeah, the decision was executive, I didn't say it was smart."
Yeah he’s cute about it. Of course it’s her fault because she didn’t answer the FaceTime LOL. He scored and has a right to be pleased with himself.
The laugh at the end when they figure out its 44lbs gets me 🤣
Seriously, I'm so happy for him.
Over $400 worth of cheese for $10? Winning!
And Parmesan basically won't spoil if you store it properly that's an absolute win.
$465 if 44.6 pounds at $10.44, but someone mentioned that Parmesan typically sells for more like $25 a pound so someone marked that shit double wrong. That's more like $1100 worth of cheese.
It’s actually mislabeled. Parm is more than that per lbs. he actually got almost $1k worth of cheese for $10
Give that shit to friends and family. Don't let good cheese go to waste. I'd have bought it, too. Hell, wegded and frozen, it can last for up to a year. LOL
You have to work really really hard to make a block of Parmesan cheese go bad.
If I made a score like that I'd be going door to door to all my neighbors like the cheese fairy.
This stuff molds but you can cut it off you can keep this for a verry long time.
It even was aging for 3 years. It can last approximately forever.
My Man is high as balls
Getting that much cheese for 10 bucks would get anyone high.
“I made an executive decision.”
On cheese love!
He also had a half marijuana for $10
Drunk
When the weight of the cheese becomes known, there is zero doubt to how high this man is. 😎
I'd be on cloud fucking nine if I just bought 40 pounds of the best cheese for 11 bucks.
This is totally Randy & Sharon from South Park
balls is as high as my man
According to his wife he is not, just excited.
Wife claims he's not high or drunk.
That man is a keeper. He tried to FaceTime you. Now you have cheese. Such a good deal!
He made an executive decision.
That’s a legit score. I pulled the same thing at Home Depot with husky tool box mat. I got a whole case for the price of one roll. The case was priced as one roll. Well that’s how it scanned. I paid and left and still have 3 rolls left. That was years ago.
Yeah bought ten boxes of trim cause there was 10 pieces per box so when he scanned it he thought the price was for each box but it was per piece so ended up getting. 1000’ or solid Acadia for 38$. Instead of 380$.
That's called shop lifting sir
As a man who cooks meals for family every day
Nono. He made the executive decision.
From now on, the only answer to the question: "Would you like parmesan on that?" is "yes".
Dude, parmesan in scrambled eggs is the shit. How did you forget eggs?
Haha! I once got a half wheel of English cheddar for $.98, when it should have been $98lb. Fuck you whole foods!
Got a pound and a half of sliced roast beef for like $2.50 once. I'd have put it back if they wanted me to. They knew something was wrong and I was just sitting there like a Karen like "well, it scanned that price didn't it?" I kid but I wasn't gonna buy it for the appropriate price and they didn't have a different way to ring it up so I got a bunch of free roast beef and the cashier got to bitch about the lazy assholes running the deli for like five minutes. The store would have never noticed it was gone so everyone wins.
You mean $9.8/lb? 100 bucks for a block of cheese would be insane even for restaurant markups...
I've won way more than that gambling (and lost even more ofc!), and I'd still consider that my best score ever.
This story will carry on to his grandkids. Remember that time i bought 1/2 a wheel of parmesan cheese at 10.44$.
It's pronounced ParmEEsian in this reality
No wonder it was so cheap
I understood that reference
Gross I hate it
I hate it
Aw geez.
Damn! This much cheese is enough to make America grate again!
Ahhhh I see what u did, I thought it was a lil cheesy but I like it
I see you, that was a gouda one
I guess everyone’s getting a wedge for Christmas this year!
If someone gave me a wedge of good Parmesan for Christmas I’d be super excited to go home and make some sauce.
YOU GET A WEDGE! YOU GET A WEDGE! EVERYBODY GETS A WEDGE!!!
And this didn’t set off alarms bells at the checkout? Man handling the half wheel of Parmesan over the scanner didn’t make them think “er what?”
If the people can't even label things right, you really think they're gonna watch the customers right too?
Where I live, if an item is priced incorrectly, they have to sell it to you at the sticker price. Even if another staff member or a manager queries it. It's part of our consumer law. (Manager of multiple retail stores for 20 years)
Do you think that minimum wage scanner cares? What’s the benefit?
It's in the system, the sticker and barcode are correct, so who cares? Or he might have used the self-checkout.
self checkouts are a thing. you just scan the sticker, pay and laugh your balls off in the car
Cashiers don't care as long as it scans legit.
Cashier thinking "well, this should cost more than my paycheck for this shift..... fuck it"
I'd make that same executive decision. Would net me lots of parmesan for my pizza and spaghetti
Don't blocks of parmesan last a long time due to the low moisture content? I could google but I would like to give someone with cheese knowledge a chance to shine.
Parmesan is the densest, driest cheese, and will keep for a long time in a cool dark dry place. It's also the fattest, this guy is gonna put on 40 pounds this year.
According to the
Honestly this is not a facepalm but a great deal! Use it for any Italian food, soups, etc.
Cut that shit with some Kraft and get to the streets
Please don't encourage cutting the cheese.
My chest puffed out cuz I got that cheese!
Imagine how long it would take to put that lot through a microplane!!!!
Sounds like a macropain.
Welcome to heaven.
So he got 44 pounds of cheese, for 2% of what it actually cost… and shes mad?
Actually, if you check the consumer price for a pound of this particular cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano) it averages around $25 a pound. That wasn't just the wrong price, it was the wrong piece of cheese entirely. Even though there would be a bulk discount for a resturaunt, for a consumer he is getting a hell of a deal.
She ain't mad at all? Have you watched the whole video, she's giggling about it a lot
She’s not mad at all lmao
You think she is mad?
She is not mad mad, but lets just say its probably a good thing she didnt pick up that face time call
She doesn’t seem mad at all
You can literally hear her laughing in the background but of course reddit thinks she's shaking with anger at him
Lol she's not mad? She's laughing. Just cuz she's demanding answers doesn't mean she's mad - more like having a major WTF moment at the situation.
Why do you think she’s mad?
Oh shit, I would have bought that also. He's got friends to share it with. I now have a new hero. Hell ya!
Even if he didn't have friends before, he'll have them now...
I now wish to buy an exorbitant amount of cheese for no reason.
Dude. Last I checked Parmesan cheese can cost around 15 usd per pound. You can sell most of that or even give it away your neighbors.
I am 100% in this guy’s camp. His laugh when he weighs it is magic. If I ever get the chance to buy 44 pounds of parm for $10.44., I’m taking it without any reservations.
The laugh at the end was the best part.
My husband would do this shit too tbh
He's obviously a keeper.
i think that anyone with a working brain would do that
And he'd be God damned right.
Seems like that dude drove that cheese home, not sober
Man is wasted as fuck. His wife came on the other thread and said he drove their children home too. She tried to convince everyone he was sober though.. doubtful.
It's a dry aged cheese, so as mong as yoi store it right it should last for a long ass time. Definitely a win.
That should be way more than 10.44 a lb. Regardless that was a steal. Parm wheels are I think about 70-80lbs and cost like $1700-1800. He basically got $1700 of parm for free
Math?
That is a GIANT score. When I came home after a year in Italy, I brought a kg (2.2lbs) of Parmegiano Reggiano with me. I was very sad when I went into my bedroom a few hours after I arrived and found a ripped-open packet, some crumbs and a sleeping dog.
I bet that dog didn’t shit for a week.
Why does he say, “Approximately..” and then give an exact price to the cent?
Man is wasted af.
He's utterly stupified by his cheesy come up.
I love his reaction. But this is a win
Thats like twice as big as my hotel's padano foodservice wheels. That size really has to be made just for grocery delis.
This isn’t a facepalm for them. It’s uplifting news or something
I'm so proud of his executive decision.
That truly was an executive decision and he should be ceo
As a lactose intolerant person, I would do the same thing.
Parmesan contains a very low amount of lactose...
OH MY GOODNESS....
Bruh I'm allergic but I'd still have to buy that
Seriously I'd do the same thing every chance I get. Best Buy had a misprinted price tag on a 65" TV and when asked if that was correct they said yes. I showed another customer and we each bought a TV $1100 below retail.
@ 44lbs. That is a $459.36 block of cheese damn!
When I was 12 Walmart mislabeled a $50 bottle of Drakaar Noir for $3-your boy made out AND got titty IN CLASS the next week. 💯
Dude is a legend. He saw an opportunity and he grabbed it. It didn't matter what it was. It was an opportunity! Now he has a lifetime of pasta eating to do.
$465.624 worth of parmesan...for $10.44. Ummm you're coming home with me.
This guy saw an opportunity and he took it, honestly I would have done the same.
i can just sell that again right?
Dude saved 430$ on cheese. No one would argue getting 44lbs of Parmigianino for 10$
Wife and I were in Stop and Shop in Groton, CT and we saw a WHOLE wheel mis-priced at about $20. I should have gone right to the register but we continued shopping.
All these posts are gonna get that grocery guy fired...

That’s a deal of a lifetime!
That's a win
What do you mean proud of himself? I'M PROUD OF THAT MAN. You can do so much with 44 pounds of cheese.
I would do the exact same thing... What I'm going to do with it is for later me to figure out...
He looks so pleased with himself. Bless him!
Bro got approximately $465.62 worth of cheese for $10 and she’s upset at him
His laugh at the end is great. This whole family will be talking about The Parmesan Incident for decades.
My man is clearly playing chess, while I’m over here playing checkers 🤔
I'm putting this up there as one of my favourite videos on the internet.
Would 1000% make the same executive decision myself 😅
I have a similar story, found this post because a friend who was there forwarded to me.
This dude drunk off of savings or alcohol?
retail for a whole wheel is like $1600 iirc
Employers should know just how much minimum wage apathy actually costs
Freeze it!
I don't know why she isn't giving the guy a high five. A pound of good parmesan can go for $14. So 14 * 20 folks I mean to me it sounds like he made a really smart business decision.
This is a fucking insane deal
Honey! I've made a wonderful investment today!
Quite possibly the best clip ever! This guy is my hero!
I don’t know if this could be possible, but couldn’t you go to a local restaurant (family owned) and see they can take it off your hands.
In his defense, that's one heck of a deal and this cheese will keep for a long long time in a cool dry place.

He’s not wrong
Real Parmesan is expensive af, with or without shrinkflation.
Supermarkets actually have the lowest profit margins of almost any industry (between 1-3%). It’s competitive as heck. They aren’t the ones gouging, the food producers are.
not all heros wear caps
Just Super Mario?
I can think of 10 recipes that I could use a chunk of that cheese and be so happy. Then gift family members.
Easily 600 dollars worth of cheese
Wait so that's like a 500 dollar wheel of cheese?
"Executive decision" lol 😂
Out of curiosity what's 46lbs of parmesan go for normally?
Based on the video, I'd say about $480.
I always want more parmesan but I’m embarrassed.
I love this dude, and I'd have done the same.
Fuck, I love Parmesan so much. I want 46 lbs of it!
I would 100% sell that.
You can keep that until you eat it all. Invest in large plastic wrap and proper knife.
500$ block of cheese
Don't go grocery shopping while high
“Now THAATS fuckin itAAlian!”
44 pounds of cheese , is still not enough
Everyone in the family is getting cheese for Christmas
