For my Shalach Manos this year, I need small Cholov Yisroel cream cheese packets. Does anyone know where I could get some? I dont need too many .... (and if I cant find cream cheese, I'll settle for margarine... or jelly)

thanks so much!

If you buy it from a local restaurant that uses it to put on the tables to eat with their bread, you can even buy one piece. You can call just to find out which restaurant purchases them in bulk.

this is precisely why I love the internet !!!!!!
sooo... I called a bagel place nearby, and the guy told me that they dont MAKE small cream cheeses !!! (and if they do, hes never seen them) --

well, thanks ot the internet, I found Mehadrin J&J website - where tehy have EXACTLY what I need. THE small 1 oz. cream cheese and 1 oz. butter ... (perfect for my shalach manos) ...

anyways, I just wanted to know - to the amother who suggested I call them - can I order some straight from Mehadrin? I think the contact number is a distributor -- would they sell me like 20 of each? I plan to call them next week - but if I know ahead of time, that would be great.

Oh, and as for jelly - I found these small baby jars (and also single serving kinds) of Smuckers --- I just need to find out which flavors are kosher... .

Thanks so much again for everyone's help.
(am I the only one that gets giddy when my Shalach Manos ideas start to come together ? Smile

Good shabbos !

No, they won't. Unless by some very odd chance they happen to have an open case. (Maybe if their workers are doing the same shalach manos as you Very Happy

)

Their located pretty far from you, in the Williamsburg area.

I'm not sure where in NJ you live but kosher konnection in Passaic sells the individual cream cheese packets. I'm not sure if they sell butter.
