Following the recent news regarding both Coles & Woolworths dropping the 1kg cheese box down to $9.49 I went into my local ALDI at Springfield Lakes, QLD to see them now priced at $8.69!

Could this be the beginning of the price wars between the other competitors? I still prefer ALDI for its competitive pricing then the other major outlets.

  • I can never get through these 1kg blocks without them starting to go bad.

      you could probably freeze them, like use a ziploc bad and submerge in hot water to get the air out, then seal.

      • The trick to restore dried out blocks of cheese is to soak them in milk. Saw it on some random lifehack and it mostly works; just gotta get the soak time right.

    • +5

      a plastic lunchbox container will solve that - we had the same problem - now we keep it in one of those plastic containers that seal pretty tight and in the fridge - just find one thats about the same size as the cheese block so its a reasonably snug fit

      Cheese doesn't go bad, it "matures".

    • You should come to our house.

      Buy yourself a packet of foldback clips, fold over the plastic on your food products and clip them sealed.

    • ziplock bags are good for this too

    • +2

      I find if you cut them into smaller blocks they stay OK for longer. I make sure I don't touch the cheese with my hands when cutting them into smaller blocks to avoid putting bacteria in the cheese. I wrap them in baking paper to minimise sweating. Then each smaller block I handle as usual, and generally they get used before going moldy.

      It's people touching the cheese over and over that contaminates it and makes it go moldy quickly.

      Thanks L45TPH45E for mention ♥️

    Cheese Wars!

    • “These aren’t the cheese blocks you are looking for”

  • Coles has there’s down to 9.50 from memory

    Dyaf, pay the extra 81c and get the Coles Tasty.

    • Coles much better?

      • +2

        As long as you get the good Coles cheese ($9.50) not the $9 variant

      • +1

        Coles Tasty ($9.50), not Coles Simply. Westacre barely has any flavour. If you want REAL taste you need to look at the more expensive vintage varieties. Usually about $14/kg

        Ww Hillview, Aldi Westacre and Coles Simply are fine for grating on food, toasties etc

    • +1

      the woolies one is better imo

    • I agree. The Aldi one was good many years ago, but that changed and is smooth, not crumbly and very mild taste….almost tasteless….well, it was last time I purchased….about 4-5 years ago.

      • Just had some. Still the same.

  • Everyone wants more than just cheese

    • That's a cheesy comment.

  • For tasty, pretty all seem pretty much the same with home brand.

    If wanted something with more flavour, just wait for coon/cheers mature tasty to go on sale.

    • last time I bought some Cheers I was sorely disappointed with the taste. Won't be buying it again and will stick with the Coles Tasty

  • Obviously in response to Coles price drop.

    Coles will reduce the price of the popular household staple by $4.40 from $13.90 to $9.50.
    The 12 week deal kicking off from Wednesday is fully funded by Coles to ensure dairy farmers are not out of pocket.

    • Coles deal started last week.

  • Are things that grim out there in the real world that $0.80 off tasty cheese is a bargain?

    • This is Ozbargain after all. Every cent counts

  • +2

    This appears to be a Gouda deal..

    • I wish Aldi will return their Gouda for $3.50.
