I was disappointed to see the bill in my Food and Family Magazine when it arrived the other day. I really enjoy this magazine and part of why I do is that up until now there was not a charge for it. Why did you change this? You have a ton of your own advertising in it.... isn't that enough to pay for the printing? I can get other similar magazines for about that same subscription price that have little or NO advertisements in it. I think it is terrible that you all of a sudden changed this and slipped in a bill. You should be wanting customers to purchase your products not pay for the coupons and recipes. I can get other free coupons/recipes elsewhere.
PLEASE consider not charging for this magazine or in the least... it should be cheaper considering it is your own products you are pushing in the magazine with the recipes and coupons. Thank you.

I have thought this issue of paying for Food & Family Magazinne over and over. On one hand I pay for subscriptions to other magazines on topics of my interest and some of them have advertisements and some do not. However, Kraft is asking for us to pay for them to send this blatant advertisment into our homes. And, while they have a special offer to send out a "free" cookbook if you subscribe why don't they just drop the "free" cookbook and the costs related to that and just continue on with the advertisement/magazine instead. I think it is a much better incentive to consumers to continue with the no-fee magazine than to charge for it. Everyone I know who receives this magazine or that I share it with is always happy when a new addition arrives. Kraft needs to continue to make its consumers happy and thereby encouraging them to buy Kraft products. In my house we don't even purchase clothing that blatently advertises the company it came from. Kraft please re-think this idea of charging for the Food & Family Magazine, the average home is trying to save money while still buying brand name products. Don't push your consumer base away.

I HAVE BEEN ALSO GETTING THE KRAFT MAGAZINE FOR YEARS AS WELL. I AS WELL AM VERY UPSET, I RECEIVE E-MAILS FROM KRAFT AS WELL WHICH I ENJOY. BUT THE MAGAZINE I REALLY ENJOYED AND HAVE ALSO PASSED ON TO MY DAUGHTER, FOR HER TO USE FOR HER SON.
ARE WE ALSO NOT GOING TO RECEIVE THE CALENDAR, WHICH I ALSO LOVE.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I got mine yesterday with the "reminder" to subscribe.
No thank you.
I enjoyed reading the ad um magazine. And the coupons got me to try new Kraft products that I would have skipped over. Now I think I'll skip over most of them.
Saddened to see a Corporation take this step at this point in the economy. Letting the costumers know their value to the company. I have, in the past, chosen Kraft products because of the free magazine. Now I'll skip over them.

Same here from the peanut gallery. Can't believe Kraft is charging for "their" advertisements, oh I mean their magazine. Can't aford another expense and food is very expensive right now with the economy. One more thing we'll do without. Don't know who's bright idea this was, but it will hurt them. I bet consumer Kraft purchases would increase right after their magazine would go out, because people would see their recipes and want to make such and such. Now, they won't. Too bad, I really do like the magazine.

I agree with most of the other posts. I have loved getting this magazine for years, but don't think I should have to pay for it since is is an advertisement for Kraft. I also get the online version, but I really enjoy looking at the magazine. I've gotten some of our favorite recipes out of it. I will be sorry to see it go.

Sorry to see the magazine turn to a subscription based publication. It was good to get but only cause it was free. Just like everyone else has said, it is nothing but advertisement for Kraft. I will just stick to All You. Much better.

I have to say I was really disappointed as well. Though I know I can get the recipes online, my dd(9) loves looking though it as soon as it comes and I also keep them with my cookbooks so we can look through them together when we want something easy to make. I hope at some point reconsider this.

I enjoy getting the magazine (when it comes) gives some good ideas for meals, that being said it is a big ad for their products (which I only buy when I have a coupon. and not many of those these days). Why in the world would I pay for you to advertise to me?!?!? I will not be subscribing to this magazine, very disappointing that they just want to line their already big pockets with more of our "hard to come by" dollars!!!
Get a grip Kraft!!!!

I am also not pleased with the fact that Kraft is going to charge for their advertising! I will not be subscribing...although I have always enjoyed the magazine, I don't think I should pay for their marketing.

I have to say, I am quite surprised that Kraft is now charging for the Magazine after being free all of these years. I am definitely not happy about it and will not be paying for it either, especially when the recipes are online. Now if Kraft decides to start charging for using the Site them they will have lost ALL of my business and I will share that info with EVERYONE!
I have to honestly say that I do enjoy the magazine as it gives me some great ideas to try. But in this economy who wants to pay for this? I know I won't.
