Locating the Laughing Cow?
Having checked out several "Hungry Girl" and other low cal cookbooks recently, I see most of them call for "Laughing Cow" brand low cal cheese (if they call for cheese, I mean) I can't seem to find that in my grocery store or at Wal-mart. Am I looking in the wrong place? (In the refrigerator section with the other cheeses) Help!

You might try looking near the prepackaged deli items. It varies with the store so it may be easier to just ask.0

costco carries it.

look at the very top on the right, they have a product locater. Just enter your zip.0 -
Hello Resa52,
Laughing Cow will be by the specialty cheeses, generally in an island case by the deli section. That's also where you'll find feta, block hard cheeses and hummus. Aldi also carries a similar version that's much cheaper. If for some reason your store doesn't carry Laughing Cow, Weight Watchers spreadable cheese is another alternative.

almost always in the deli section. It is a round tub and the cheese is in wedges inside. sooooooooo yummy!0

That explains it. I gotta look in the deli and not in the bagged/packaged cheese section.
Thanks a lot guys!!!0 -
At my Walmart it is in the case in front of the deli where the pre-made subs, sandwiches and salads are, on the top shelf.0

You can also try next to the cream cheese section. Most of the flavors are in an island cooler in the deli section at Wal-Mart.0

In my store, it's neither in the deli nor with all the other cheeses. It's located with a few other spreadable cheeses... in the dips section!0

Not sure about USA but in UK they've just brought out a low fat blue cheese version. 25 cals a triangle. Must try it.0

They are also with the deli cheeses at my grocery store, not with the brand name cheeses.0

Consider yourself lucky, that crap is not cheese :sick:0

It's a blend of cheeses. They add whey and milk fat to make it spreadable. What makes you think it's not cheese?0 -

ask a clerk, and if the store doesn't carry it, ask them to order some for you0

If you need help finding laughing cow cheese, then you can borrow my 3 yr old. She totally loves "happy cow cheese" (as she calls it) and will locate it in any supermarket, and will alert you to the fact that she's found it by asking for it 3 million times. Also, she will hold it for you so you don't have to put it in the trolley with the rest of the groceries. You may have some difficulty separating her from the laughing cow cheese at the end of your shopping trip though....

here in the uK its a popular spreadable cheese and generally found in the chilled section along with other brands like dearylea or philly. If you have a Aldi they carry own brand and I have been told its a better tasting cheese. I personally would prob substitute the cheese with an hard brand, as I find the laughing cow too processed and I am on a mission to avoid processed foods0

You could always ask a store employee? That's what they are there for.0

depending on where your from you should i always find it near the cream cheese. But i lived in Tennessee til Aug `12 and now im in Oregon, 3,000 miles away and each store here carries it, so it may just be your area.. Just ask your store manager, They are usually ready to accommodate a regular shopper easily. btw its great all kinds of it, the spreadable ones in wedges are awesome. great snacks, ways to get ur cheese fixes. 35 calories and up to 45 a wedge depending on the type/flavoring. Good luck .. will have to look up those and see the recipes.0

You cant please everyone, i think they are a great low calorie snack, awesome with most recipes for me instead of for my diet. :flowerforyou:0

That "crap" is awesome!! I don't care what is added to it, its a regular staple in my diet!!!0 -

If you have an Aldi's Store near you, they do have a version as well. It is called Happy Farms spreadable cheese. They have 3 versions, regular, light and Light Garlic and Herb. I have found these at Aldi's near their "chunk" and parmesan cheeses (at least in the stores I have been to). They are slightly lower in calories too and is going to be much cheaper than the "name" brand. To each their own, though. I have not tried to cook much with these, but use it as a spread on toast, celery and crackers. Some may say it isn't real cheese but I don't care. It is a low calorie alternative that adds flavor to my food. Helps make snacking healthier!0

Last week, for supper one night, I cooked chicken breasts and simmered them in Rotel. I was looking for something else to add and had some of the garlic and herb (I think). I threw in 3 of those wedges and mixed in with the rotel and continued to simmer for a little while. It was soooo great, creamy and wonderful!0

Usually in the deli at my walmart and safeway, but I have seen it next to the cream cheese as well.0
