I don't know if you know you can freeze cheese. I found out later in life that it was a do-able thing, maybe I was just a late starter on the freezing things spectrum.
I had a block of mature cheddar in the fridge, just kind of sitting there getting sweaty in its packet and approaching its 4th March expiry date. I'm counting calories, so to be honest, it wasn't seeing a lot of use- just too high cal for casual consumption. So instead of freezing it, I cut it into weighed out 100g pieces, individually wrapped in clingfilm and then put in the freezer. Now I know how many calories are in each piece when I defrost it for use, and it's a good size to work with, for a meal for two. It reminded me I have many hacks which involve freezing things...watch this space.
