At max, $6/lb for cheese isn't going to get you much.
I can certainly buy a 1 pound block of several kinds of Cabot sharp cheddar at that price point where I shop. Smoked gouda is around that price point. It's not like Velveeta is the only cheese (well, cheese food) at that price point.
Being from the Netherlands, the stuff here labeled "cheese" is just an insult... First, cheese in vacuum plastic is a bad idea. Cheese lives and has to breathe...
The taste is the same it is packaged in....

well not knowing where you live now, it is hard to respond but I will say, it is also hard to find cheese that is not in plastic except at the deli section of some stores and if the store is small, the selection not be all that good. I do think our newly remodeled Sam's has a deli with unwrapped cheese. I will take a look next week when shopping..
If you want good cheese forget about Walmart and instead go to a real cheese shop,it aint cheap but is well worth the extra cost.=The 9 Best Cheese Shops In NYC: Gothamist

you are right: good cheese and walmart are not related, but do remember, you are talking cheese stores in NYC.. the majority of Americans do not live in NY city.
Southeastern Wisconsin (Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie areas) is a cheese mecca! You'll find lots of cheese shops there, although many of them cater to Chicago tourists passing through on I-94/US-41. Wisconsin is one of the in the US where you can find real cheese curds; that means under-ripened cheese that squeaks against your teeth, not just chunks of regular cheese. (Serving suggestion: mix some cheese curds into scrambled eggs.) The best-known place is Mars Cheese Castle, with its big roadside sign and lots of free samples. You can try as many as you like; just buy something at the end. Don't forget to take a selfie with the kitschy cow statue.
Oh, and no tax on food in Wisconsin, as long as it's packaged or sold from a deli.

I just made an assumption based on the op posting frequently in the NYC section.
Google will give you a selection of cheese shops in most large cities.Washington DC for example= http://dcist.com/2013/09/the_five_st...hops_in_dc.php

Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha and several of the places in Marston, WI do have a good large selection of quality Wisconsin cheese. However, they do get rather pricey.
My recommendation is a bit different. I started at the Babcock Dairy at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. They provide you with a good list of certified master cheese makers throughout the state of Wisconsin. We used the map provided to make several weekend trips to visit some of those cheese makers and their facilities. Personally, I like Union Star Cheese in Fremont, WI near Green Bay.Their specialty are cheddars and flavored brick cheeses.
Most of my Chicago friends swear by Carr Valley Cheese which you will find in a lot of fine restaurants in the Chicago area.
