Don't you find it gets a bit crumbly if you freeze it ? We used to do the same but now do it to a slightly more expensive cheese like the lancewood loaf etc when those drop to R80.
Also for some reason am hooked on white cheddar now.

To a certain degree yes, but cheese is cheese is cheese. I only really see that crumbly-ness when we grate it, but even then... cheese is cheese is cheese. I also find that it helps if you thaw it out properly over like a day+. We are currently using cheese we bought back in January, so it is time to stock up again.
Ditto @ Hooked on that white cheddar.
We grate the cheese and then freeze it.

Do the same.

Did not know though, that it can last this long.

I leant this tip from a YouTuber: when buying cheese that you intend to freeze, grate it and put it in ziplock bag(s) before you freeze it. Then you don’t need to deal with trying to grate it later and dealing with the crumbling. I’ve done it and it really works well. Texture comes out just fine once left to defrost a bit.

In my experience, Pepsi Max is around R14 whilst the normal variant has increased to R16-17, depending on where you buy.
That's cheap! I paid R54 for 4x1.5l Coke at Shoprite.
