I'm having trouble finding some of the soy cream cheese, chip dips, butter.... I've tried Chamberlin's, Whole Foods and Fresh Market and my neighborhood Publix and Wal-mart. Can I get a tutti something, please! Please!

Try a health food store - they may carry some of these or know who does. Also if you haven't already, talk to customer service at Whole Foods. I've become less and less happy with Whole Foods stock of soy alternatives to dairy products but the ones usually have soy cream cheese, soy sour cream, and some of the soy butter/margarine substitutes. So check with Customer Service and see if they would start carrying some of these for you.
I have to admit I've never seen a soy chip dip in a store so if you find some, please post what and where you found it.

My mother shops at Kings in CO. She always askes the customer service to carry stuff for her. They ship it to the store and call her when it is ready for her to pick up. I'm sure they would do this for you. We have a publix up the street from us and I've been able to buy soy cream cheese there so I know they will carry it.

Sand- I haven't found a soy chip dip in the stores but I make my own using the Toffuti sour cream and Lipton Onion Soup mix. Of course you can't eat a ton of it since it still contains a high fat content but it sure takes care of my craving to have a tablespoon of it with my Baked Lays. I am not sure if you could tolerate the soup mix but I don't seem to have any problems with it! Just thought I'd share!

Thanks, Angela. I do miss that dip.
Lipton French Onion Soup Mix contains hydrolized soy protein which is apparently a form of or variant of or kissing cousin to MSG so it makes me nervous. (That's why I did my recent post on possible sources for non-MSG onion soup mix.) However, I've got this box of soup mix that's been sitting around and a long weekend coming up so maybe I'll give it a try. Hmmm. I wonder if I have any soy sour cream.

I found soy: cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and yogurt in Trader Joes. Good luck.

I hit the mother load! I asked the manager about it on a special seperate trip to Publix. He took me on a tour. They apparently don't just keep all this stuff in one place. I found (and bought!)
Soy cream cheese
Soy Sour Cream
Soy Yogurt- strawberry flavored
Soy pudding- Double chocolate flavor
Soy mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwhiches
Soy chocolate ice cream
and tofu cheeses in several flavors!
It was an expensive outing- but well worth it I think. So far everything tastes good. I accidentally bought the garlic flavored cream cheese- so I'll have to be more careful next time and find the plain one.
Kroger's is only up north- I think Publix is only down south... Yee-Haw! maybe they comparable though.
