I used to have a subscription at gourmetspotting.com and only stopped when I had to trim my budget during a time of unemployment. Now that I'm settled in with a regular paycheck again, though, I think I'm going to look into signing up again, thanks for the reminder! :)
And here's a list of ten more monthly food boxes of varying prices from $10-$75/month. I don't have any personal experience with any of these ones (yet :P)

From TV and movies, I think there used to be more ways to get monthly subscriptions like jelly of the month or so forth. I've only seen wine clubs...but those would likely get pricey too.
Does voat have a gift exchange subverse? That might be something to start...exchange treats with random internet strangers!

Well this may not be helpful depending on where you are located. You may want to look into a farm share food delivery, basically farms harvest food and it gets divided among the 'investors'. For example one week you may get a dozen eggs some steaks and a bunch of various vegetables. They are local so you get what is in harvest at the time, and some have just fruits/vegetables and some have that plus eggs some plus meat etc. It is still more then getting food at the store but it is much fresher and actually you can taste how much better that makes it.

Booze is the way to go, and most stores have a large enough selection it would take you a few years to work through it.

Asking weird questions is my specialty!
Because cheese is more or less a perishable item, the further you get your cheese from the more premium price (and pricier gourmet cheese) it gets. So start simple and local. Always start local. It's cheaper. No S/H. Wines clubs usually pair cheese with their wines and most of them can be free. Also, try Meetup.com and try searching for cheese clubs in your area. Ask your local library for suggestions.
Remember, someone is going to have to pay the costs of not only getting the cheese to you but keeping at a temperature (almost every cheese has it's own temperature) that makes the cheese still unique in its own right and not lose its flavor. Also, check to see if their are food festivals in your area. This helps open doors and hopefully is not a cheesy way of getting different kinds of foods (pun intended.) ^.^ I did manage to find this. It might help you find dealers that can point you in the right direction. Good luck! CHEESE MARKET NEWS' Interactive Market Directory.

possibly, but I know for a fact you can put it in the flat rate boxes and ship in bulk. mmm, cheese in bulk.
Perhaps cheese taped to a postcard?
or
Cheesecards with food ink and stamps on them, mail as postcards, take off thin wrapped layer, and enjoy.

Request: please be more descriptive with your titles in the future <3

I don't know, I think context is important and you couldn't necessarily get enough of it into a title.
