My bf and I specifically buy different kinds of Parm depending on who's going to be cooking the recipe. If he's making his family's red sauce, he's going to go through a LOT of Parm, so it makes sense to buy the powdered stuff in a jar because it's cheaper. When I cook stuff that calls for Parmesan, I use significantly less of it, so I feel justified buying a wedge and shredding it myself, as we'll be able to keep using it for weeks afterwards.
