Rant Kraft Food & Family - Now Subscription Fee!

[pampchefrhondab]

Geesh, I just got my latest Kraft Food & Family last week. Along with it they send an invoice for $6.99/year and said this would be the last one I receive unless they hear from me!

I like it, but not sure I'm willing to pay for it! It's not a lot of money, but it's the principal.

They should at least have it on-line for free! It is advertising all of their products!

I got that too. I like it, but if I'm going to pay for a food magazine, I'd rather pay for one that isn't one continual advertisement. Guess I'll be saying Buh-bye to Kraft Food&Family.:thumbdown:

I thought I was losing it. I didn't remember paying before. I will have to let it go, too. But I do love it!

It is online for free. All that magazine is is recipes using Kraft products. You can get them all for free when you sign up for their email list. I get them in my inbox every month.

exactly this!!!! i love my recipes online from them!:thumbup:

Great - I'll have to sign up for the online version. I don't have a problem w/that at all - less paperwork in my small house!

I thought the same thing everyone I know got the same thing. I guess I will b reading it online from now on then.

My invoice went into the shredder.....LOL.

My mom actually got the same notice a few issues ago. She went ahead and paid to continue getting it. I have NEVER paid, and always get it. She also got the same generic notice that I (and seems like everyone else) got. Now that I think about it, I want to say that she said that her check never cleared.

 

[pamperedlinda]

yep, I got it too - dissappointing. I like the magazine, but not enough to pay for it.

 

[dianevill]

I was disappointed, too. I went to kraftfoods.com and sent a message expressing my disappointment. I know it probably won't do anything, but I felt good! I told them that as much as I enjoy the magazine, I can't justify paying for another glorified macaroni and cheese dinner recipe.

 

[pampered1224]

Me too! I got my last one two days ago with the same notice. I never really looked at it after while. And I have used the on-line so...
It does not pay for me to get it either. Diane - I love your idea though so I think I may steal it an drop them a line too. Just because.

I'm doing the same thing--sticking with online only. I looked at the coupons that I'd use and they don't add up to more than the subscription price.

 

[Pedey]

I guess I'm the minority. I love it - and I already mailed them a check for a 2 year renewal! I've been getting it for over 5 years & I love it every time!

 

[raebates]

I love the magazine. It's just that I also get it online. I have difficulty printing online coupons, so I continued getting the paper one for the coupons. So, if the coupons don't at least equal the subscription price I can't justify it to myself.

 

[BadGirl]

I don't have a problem paying the subscription fee. I like the magazine, and I particularly like holding it in my hands, as opposed to viewing it on-line.

I already paid for two years too. AND for dinner this evening I made the Mexican Layered Bake in the DCB. Instead of putting it in the oven, I put it in the microwave for 12 minutes - excellent!!! AND a quick, easy meal!!!

I also got the notice several months ago, never paid for it still receiving it.
I made the snowball cake on the cover in batter bowl last week it was yummy

 

[AJPratt]

Well, maybe they are just fishing for $... I would like to keep getting it, but don't want to pay. Its easier for me to read a mag than to be on the computer.
