What can't you do with the Costco bulk size? I buy these bags often and go thru them pretty quickly. Its great for salads, Mexican food (nachos especially!), chicken dishes, baked savory dishes, basically anything you would use cheddar for, use this instead.
No need to freeze it as long as it you keep in the very back of your fridge where it can stay cold. Also try not to contaminate it with dirty fingers/dirty utensils to prevent it from going bad so it has a longer shelf life.
I agree with Ktr - I do the same. But with Memorial Day coming up, if you are hosting, you could make lots of cheese-itz (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/basic-cheese-straw-dough), puff pastry cheese crackers or Frico as an alternative chip option; quesadillas feed crowds as well as just one (lunch!) with no problem; or if you're in a crunch for a quick, cheesy side, mix diced potatoes,onions,bell peppers, sour cream, and some cheese, season generously, bake for ~1.5 hours, top with a generous heaping of cheese, broil, and serve with a dusting of smoked paprika.
Mexican style cheese is not a good cheese for frico. It will work with simple flat breads. Top them with carmelized onions, your cheese and other meat or non-meat toppings.
