If you haven't heard, there's a big cream cheese shortage because of the pandemic. Demand is up 18% since covid hit, partly because more people are cooking and baking. Supply chain issues are also a factor.
And because of the shortage, Kraft is now offering to pay you $20 to NOT make cheesecake for Christmas.
It's the main ingredient in cheesecake, and Kraft owns the Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand. So they're using it as a marketing opportunity.
They gave away vouchers to 18,000 people, but there is word that they may expand it to even more people! So check back on SpreadTheFeeling.com!
Once you get a spot, just buy a different dessert, or the ingredients for a dessert between now and Christmas. Pre-made desserts at the store count too. Then save your receipt.
Starting on the 28th, you'll be able to submit that receipt and get a $20 "digital reward." They say they'll send them out sometime in January.
