S/O Peanut Butter... The Increased Pricing Has Hit

I spent $6.69 on a medium-sized jar of Natural Jif yesterday.  I guess the bad peanut crops were no joke.

    Woah! I buy it at Trader Joe's -- it went from $1.79 to $2-something (2.50? I can't remember) for a 16 oz jar. I didn't think that was too horrible.

    Wow! I rolled my eyes at MIL when she said peanut butter prices were going up. Good thing DH listened to her and bought some a few weeks ago!

    I am VERY VERY glad I bought 6 jars on Amazon (on S&S) last month. Less than 1.50 a jar for Skippy. we eat a LOT of 'pup-ber' in this house (as Gisele calls it)

    Indifferent $6 for a jar of pb?  DS can't eat it, but I myself practically live on it sometimes.  Yikes.

    Great. DS and DH LOVE it so much. And since DS is dairy free right now he eats more peanut butter it seems. DH eats it by the spoonful!

    I've always used peanut butter because it was cheaper, but I might start trying almond butter or other alternatives.  Plus the preschool DD is going to next year is peanut free anyway.

    I stocked up a few weeks ago by buying a couple large jars.  DH said I was on my way to being a hoarder, lol!  Now who's laughing.

    *whew* I am glad I stocked up. When does that stuff go bad? I got at least 3 jars unopened.

    I think the shelf-life was pretty gone.  I bought mine at Target (in CA) which is not the cheapest store but not ridiculous either.  

    I still think peanut butter's a good value for what you get and how long it lasts but holy cow.

    We switched to almond butter awhile back (Barney Butter is BY FAR the best there is), and it's about $6 for a 10 oz jar at Whole Foods.  The kids aren't really into PB&J sandwiches (I've tried and tried), so luckily we don't go through a ton.  But I really love it on toast and apples, and the occasional PB&J myself.  :-)
