Coles 1kg tasty cheese is the best of the cheap cheeses.

Yep, agree with you on this one.

What is "cheap cheese" in Melbourne? In 2016, it was $10/kg for the cheap cheese. In Perth, you can reliably get cheese for $8.50/kg. It went up for a while last year to ~$10ish but has come back down recently to $8.50 again.

My theory is dairy goods in general are cheaper here because we have competing local companies.

By cheap cheese, I'm referring to the house brands of Aldi/Coles/Woolies. Aldi is the worst, there's something wrong with that cheese.
