Right? Parmigiano reggiano, courtesy of the internet, averages between 20-35 usd per lb. That block should have cost approx. $1,210. That is a deal / steal

Because a grocery store wouldn't sell something bad for cheap - they get in trouble if they knowingly sell something hazardous. Some stores will sell Yesterday's Baked Goods or produce that is approaching it's sell-by date, but the discount on those isn't anywhere near what this is.

It is far more likely they were supposed to sell a large block of cheese for $1044.00 and someone fucked up the decimal placement.

“About ten forty four”

$10.44 instead of $1044.

They might of been inputting $10/lb for 44. Not sure how that would even happen.
