Same quality as name brand
Tastes just as good as name brand but for less price. Why pay more for a name!

I wants the cream cheese, please.
How is it possible that you can exchange my large bag of beans with two small bags of beans, and choose an equil sized but slightly different flavored shredded cheese just fine. Some how though the entire store is comlpetely out of cream cheese? I got 2 bags of bagels and you all ain't got a SINGLE pack of cream cheese anywhere? Rude.

    Had to Stop Buying Due to Use of Gums
    I couldn't understand why cream cheese kept causing me digestive issues, especially since I know I'm not lactose intolerant. I thought maybe it was the high amount of fat, but it turns out that all of these gums being added were the culprit and they are in a lot of food products. I understand that it helps to thicken and stabilize the product, but it causes some very serious health risks and I hope that Walmart (and the food industry in general), reconsiders it's use of xanthan gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum. There must be some other alternative that doesn't cause damage to gut health. I will no longer eat cream cheese unless it doesn't contain any of these and I am someone who has loved it always. I plan on learning how to make my own and using goat chevre and greek yogurt as substitutes when I cannot. The extra fuss and missing out a little, is worth not having these health problems.

    Sour cream cheese!
    I used to love this great value cream cheese. But the last two times I've bought this, it has been extremely sour and spoiled. The expiration date on it is Jan 2024. What is going on Walmart!?

    Truly is a great value, for a great product
    Great value, no pun intended! I use a whole block to make the TikTok roasted tomato feta pasta, substituting this for the feta and it's so creamy and delicious. This is just as good as the more expensive brands, and I love it comes in a 2 pack so I can use the second block to whip with everything bagel seasoning for my daughter to use on bagels.

    This cream cheese used to really come very close to the more "popular" brand. But now it tastes just horrible. even after a gew more purchases!! Now it has a sour taste---- kinda like a sweet vinegary taste. And. Well. thats not cream cheese in my book!!

    New formula and it tastes much more sour, inedible
    I used to buy these every other week or so… much better priced than the competitors. Well the price dropped even more, but I will not buy this product again. About a month ago I bought a package of great value cream cheese for my kids' morning bagels. They both refused to eat saying it smelled funny. I tried it and it was extremely sour like it had gone bad, but it wasn't past the expiry date. I tried buying it twice more since, read several other reviews and I agree that someone must have made a decision, lower prices at the cost of the product's taste.

    Everything was great, but the two count missing
    I ordered 2/2 counts of cream cheese, and only received one. Could you bring me back one more two count of cream cheese I paid for it.

    Almost half the price, with all the flavor!
    Some things I have to buy name brand because generic just doesn't do it... like Coke, or Pepsi, or there isn't enough of a price difference to mess with it.... but when it comes to other things, like this cream cheese, we can't tell the difference at all. Especially when using in recipes. I haven't tried making a cheesecake or anything with it so I can't say how it holds up for something like that, although it worked great to make a cream cheese frosting for key lime cupcakes that I made... but for almost half the price of the name brand. For those like us that use cream cheese every month its well worth the savings.

    Death by dairy
    Just don't. Anything dairy at Walmart has likely been left in a warm temperature, then cooled, then left out, rinse and repeat. Unless you enjoy a bacterial infection from toxic dairy- stay away.

    Very Creamy and good
    I made cheesecake and was worried about using this brand, but all other brands were out. the cheesecake came out delicious, and you couldn't tell it wasn't the other brand.

    Changed formula or bad batch?
    Did they change the formula or did I just get a bad batch? This cream cheese used to be good but I haven't bought it in awhile. Just ordered the 2 pack and they taste sour (gone bad?) but expiration says 09/23. I really hope this isn't what it tastes like now or I will no longer be buying it. I threw it out.

    Price is better tastes the same!
    There are some more expensive choices I'm sure I don't have to name brands. I too was afraid to do my baking and other things with an off-brand cream cheese. At the cost of these name brand cream cheeses, I could not tell the difference between the expensive brand or the off brand. That to me is a no-brainer! Buy this, not that,you won't be disappointed!

    Creamiest cream cheese
    Should be called Great Cream Cheese Great Value. This cream cheese is very creamy and taste great. I used to buy only the big name brand silver box but decided to give this a try because they were out of it once. I never went back, I honestly prefer this because of the soft creamy texture, also its like a fraction of the cost. If you like a firm textured cream cheese this might not be for you.

    Creamier cream cheese
    For a long time I stayed away from store brands, but in the interest of saving money, I have become open to trying more and more. And now I feel so dumb for overpaying for so long. This cream cheese is great and I notice the recipes I use it in being even better than they were before. Side by side taste test with name brand could not tell the difference, but once you use it in a recipe the recipe has a creamier texture/flavor that I definitely prefer.

    This is a great buy! I don't see much of a difference between this and Philadelphia brand.
