The cheese cloth I get is almost like material. I have used it for straining things too. You don't want the big weave, holely type you can buy almost anywhere, it won't work. Hoeggers also has plyban cheese cloth. It works really well when you are pressing cheese for 12 hours or a day. Regular cloth will stick to the cheese real bad. This plyban does not.

I use it to make my jams (seedless) and plan to use it for cheese when we get the goats.
I saw some on sale at the grocery store. It was 2 yards for $1.80. It's 100% cotton, but organic cotton.

I get actual cheese cloth from Hoeggers supply. 2 square yards for 5-6 dollars. Works well and lasts a long time. I use it to make cheese.

FieldsofThyme, I don't know what a good price is for cheesecloth, but I personally think the stuff is worthless - it tears too easily and it's not cheap.
I've heard that old cotton pillowcases and men's cotton handkerchiefs are excellent substitutes when straining food, tying up herbs, etc. They last a lot longer too. If you're actually wrapping cheese though, maybe not.
Hardware stores sometimes have cheesecloth for cheaper than grocery stores. Ditto men's handkerchiefs.
