I hate to buy pre-shredded cheese, it gets warm on the way home from the grocery store and I want to trash it.  Now I save money and  shred only what I need.  My meals look and taste great and everyone thinks I am an amazing cook.  I really love the shredder, it also works great for sweet potato and/or zucchini hash browns. SO, so many things you can not buy in the store,  I can now make and eat healthier.
