It takes 2 seconds to grace your own. We have a cheap boxer grater from target with 4 size holes. We use it multiple times a day.
How does it only take you 2 seconds to grate cheese? I use 1+ pounds in my cheese sauce and while I don't love the additives, pre-grated is a godsend for getting dinner on the table in a reasonable amount of time.

It’s better but I also keep pre-shredded cheese on hand for quick quesadillas or meals were doesn’t matter. I use the shredding disk on my food processor.

I've only and always bought pre-shredded. Don't even own a box grater. How hard is it to clean the box grater without cutting yourself? Also, What if you grate too much? Do you just leave it in the refrigerator in a ziplock for the next time?
What? Just stick it in the dishwasher or use a dish brush. It's super easy to clean. Yes, the leftovers go in the fridge and you can use them on something else.
I don't have a dishwasher OR a dish brush. I just use a sponge to clean my dishes.

Yes, fresh shredded tastes better than pre-shredded. When I have the time, I buy block and shred it myself. WHen I don't have the time (most of the time these days), I buy pre-shredded. The pre-shredded is purely a time saving convenience that I use for my sanity. But I have no qualms about using it to make my life easier.

Would this work well for mozarella? You all may have just inspired me to make a change.

I buy the huge double packs of shredded cheese at Costco every other week for my teen boys and their friends.

I am occasionally a slattern cook: prewashed broccoli florets, chopped onion, cleaned kale or greens. On tired nights I am not above microwaving a Marie Callender’s pot pie. However, lines must be drawn. Parmigiano Reggiano and sharp white cheddar needs to be grated. Bags or plastic containers of cheese unequivocally unacceptable. .
Okay thanks for sharing, though not sure why you responded to my post. I don't buy parmigiano reggiono because it bothers my stomach and don't buy cheddar because I don't like it.

To throw in a quesadilla or on tacos, I use shredded. To make something like a Mac and cheese, I chop it up myself.
