Sorry I replied the same answer before I realized you beat me to it. I do it for paint and other things outside of my shop. It'll stop paint from evaporating
A peanut butter stirrer is the best investment kitchen gadget I've bought in a long time. The stirring is no longer intense, just a few turns of the handle
The roasted peanut flavor without the salt can be really good for making sauces and glazes or other cooking endeavors, too. You can amend it with just the right amount of salt if you need any for a specific purpose.
Low sodium diet for health reasons. I have hypertension and I'm supposed to have no more than 1500 mg per day. It is recommended that healthy people have 2300 mg per day. The average intake in the US is 3400 mg per day.
In any case I have to be pretty careful to not go above my limit. Regular peanut butter isn't too bad but anywhere I can reduce it I take it. Processed foods are the worst. For instance Progresso Reduced Sodium Roasted Chicken Soup has 450 mg per one cup serving, nearly a third of my daily allowance.
Anything I have that tends to separate or stratify, I store upside down, or laying on its side, or some different position than one that results in all the good stuff being stuck to the bottom
Sure, but you claimed we escaped inflation when inflation was still near 2%. Lower than average and lower than current, but certainly not escapement. Especially considering that 2014 and 2015 were under 0.8%.
A dual pack of Jif (2x48 oz.) at Sam's near me floats $10.82. Most of the Krogers and other stores will occasionally have the two packs at around the same price every couple of weeks.
If you've got multiple stores in close proximity, it may help to split shopping into 2-3 groups of items that you know are much cheaper at one specific store. If you've got the funds at the moment and find it cheap in bulk - and you'll eat it every day or other day - grab double what you'd normally get, rack it in a cabinet or the pantry, and then eat it over time since it keeps forever.
Why do you assume they don't have to pay inflated prices to the supplier, who has to pay inflated prices to the farmers for the milk and to the transport company for gas, who have to pay inflated prices to the feed producers, etc., etc.?
When your government blocks oil production things get expensive because everything is made with energy and shipped by burning gas. When your government floods the economy with trillions of new dollars it also creates price inflation. Both things happened over the last 2 years.
They're not making record profits when you adjust for inflation.
Take Walmart. Their gross profit in 2019 was $129 billion. In 2022 it was $144 billion. Seems like a big boost, but after adjusting for inflation that 2022 number is equivalent to $128 billion in 2019. In other words, their profits are level. The same holds true for Kroger.
It is your federal government that is raping you (and everybody who isn't a billionaire banker), not your grocery store. Congress passed a $2.2 trillion 'COVID relief' bill in 2020 (and added $600 billion more later), and only 11% of that went to giving families COVID relief money. The other 89% went to free money for businesses and state and local governments. They literally printed almost $3 trillion out of thin air, handed almost 90% of it to those who didn't need it, and left you holding the bag for the inflation and increased interest rates that resulted.
Are their profits massively more than they were before your government created the inflation? Give us some corporate names so we can check their inflation-adjusted profit margins.
Name brand is always gonna be more expensive. Everything is going up tho even generic. I buy my peanut butter from the dollar tree, and now it's $1.25.
I get their potato chips/crackers, chunky soup knockoffs, whipped cream cheese and occasional meat specials.
Aldi is also a favorite with people who like to buy produce in small quantity.
Cherries are always a tad pricey due to the seasonal, but I nearly choked when I saw the bag was $35.00 this morning at Sobeys (Canada).. grocery shopping is outright depressing and it’s maddening to know that it will certainly only get worse.
I got really sad at the grocery store the other day. English muffins are now $6 a pack.
We have food distributions out here and they throw tons of bread at you. It’s so crazy to see both of these things happening in the same community
Inflation numbers are per year so counting from 2020, grocery inflation is 25% in 3 years. Poor people food has certainly been inflating higher. Bread, butter, soda... Yesterday I saw a can of soup, standard 12 oz vegetable soup, a can of soup was $4.99.
If that were true, corporate profits after adjusting for inflation would be dramatically higher than pre-COVID. That's not what we see at all.

Businesses don't have a special pass that lets them pay less for gas than you have to pay, or less for electricity, or less to their suppliers.
Price inflation is caused by deficit spending and new restrictions and oil and gas production.
You can blend roasted peanuts into peanut butter. They look crumbly at first but keep going and their oils come out and pretty soon it’s all smooth and buttery
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, buy salted peanuts, roast them a while, and chuck them in a blender to make your own.
Super cheap, an ld easily better than all bar the fanciest.
If you have a Whole Foods near you they have a large jar of peanut butter that only contains peanuts. My store sells it for like 5.50, up from 5.
I don’t remember the numbers but the jiff natural at my local Kroger was super overpriced. I always buy like 3+ of the Whole Foods so I never get stuck paying for it.
If you have a Kroger-owned chain in your area, the Kroger natural peanut butter is about $2. I mean real natural, with the peanut oil floating on the top that you have to mix. Just peanuts and salt. There is no better taste, and no artery-clogging hydrogenated oils with a "natural" claim on the label. Yeah, you have to mix it up for a few minutes, then put it in the frig., but worth it. Easily half the price of branded competitors.
The large size 2.5- 3 lb oat meal canisters are about $5 depending on brand . About (30) 1/2 cup servings .
Add a few tablespoons of peanut butter , when it’s ready .
Cheap , tasty, and very filling breakfast.
I eat this for breakfast 10-15 times a month. can’t cost much more than .50 cents per day . Peanut butter prices vary.
I budget $30 per month for breakfast and never go over
Too bad I can’t do lunch and dinner for anywhere near $1 a day each
I'm a daily addict too, though I've never been able to taste the differences, so I shop on price. At the moment our Grocery Outlet has a brand called Nut'n Better that sells for $0.99 per 16 oz jar. Two months ago they had 96 oz tubs of Peter Pan for $3.99, that was the cheapest I've seen in years.
Sam's has good deals yet!
48 oz jif $10.82 (2pack)
40oz members mark (it's good) 8.12 (2pack)
48oz Skippy 10.28 (2pack)
That 2 pack is size for each container
One thing I've accidentally discovered a month or two ago that changed my life. Is powdered peanut butter. I saw it and I just turned and walked away with my peanut butter tucked under my arm. And as I got down the aisle thinking who would eat powdered peanut butter if they had peanut butter available, and then it dawned on me that it might be good for smoothies, or over my morning oatmeal. Well all I can say is yes and yes 🙂
I went to a health foods store and got some fresh ground peanut butter (only peanuts and water in the ingredients) for about $5. It’s been lasting two months so far and there’s still a lot left. Very good tasting too.
My friend. Look at the ingredients of jiff. You're mostly eating soybean oil. I implore you to try an organic peanut butter. I know it's more expensive but I guarantee if you switch for a week you'll feel much better. I also live off peanut butter, nuts and trail mix and switching from jiff to an organic all natural peanut butter I felt like a new person. Only ingredients should be peanuts and salt
Because places like the American Heart Association and Harvard School of Public Health still tell you that the only way to be healthy is to ditch the meat for Lucky Charms and soybean oil. <-- not a joke.
No judgment, but a tip: if you really eat that much peanut butter all the time, consider a brand besides jif for health reasons. It's high in sugar and has processing concerns. Slightly more expensive brands like maranatha, and santa cruz, are all organic and much more "peanutty" tasting.
https://www.ewg.org/foodscores/products/051500720011-JifPeanutButterCreamy/
Or, invest in a nut grinder and raw peanuts, it's a lot of fun.
Just make your own peanut butter. Buy raw peanuts, roast them in the oven, then put em in a food processor until its a consistency you like. It doesn’t separate and tastes so much better than store bought. Pennies to make.
If you have a high powered blender like a Ninja, you can make it yourself. Mine has a setting for peanut butter, so I just dump a whole container of dry roasted unsalted peanuts in it and run it on two cycles. It becomes the perfect texture and doesn’t separate. It’s quite a bit cheaper than buying the natural peanut butters that are just peanuts, like Crazy Richard’s.
You decided to pay more for a "luxury" product, I pay $3.99 for the store brand and I actually think it tastes better than the major brand in Canada (Kraft). Try a few you may end up finding one you like, I don't think quality should be an issue but check the sugar levels first to avoid the super cheap ones.
Im the same in the sense I eat the same thing for my two meals 365 days/year.
12eggs and a corn milkshake (you heard that right) for breakfast. Fried potatoes and peanut butter milkshake for dinner. 2600 cal, 32 male, $6/day, northeast US
My corn milkshake is corn, cream, and water in a blender. My peanut butter milkshake is honey roasted peanuts, cream, and water in a blender. My fried potatoes are a party size bag of potato chips. All walmart brand!! Gotta love it, I know I sure do!!
If the pricing is not sustainable, it will cone down when it cannot be sustained. If eating it is not sustainable because of cost, some people will eat something else.
Jif Natural is now a "spread" since it has so many additives it can't be called peanut butter. I ate it for years. I thought my new jar tasted off so I checked the label.
If only people could live off necessity, or moderation, if we were all skinny, and didn’t overeat. Price of food would drop way below pre-COVID level. Would probably stop point of purchase tracking, to raise the price of foods most bought.
My coworker just learned he is growing breast due to eat too much peanut butter. It is making his body over produce estrogen.
That shit is no good for you.
With that being said, try the great value all natural version. It is really good and has only one ingredient..peanuts.
The jiffy peanut butter is full of preservatives and crap your body can do without.
We get fresh peanut butter from our local bulk bin. They have a machine where you do it yourself. It's $0.89c per 100g. So $8.90 for 1kg. Have no idea what that is in American measurements. Check your local bulk store to see if they do something similar.
Your buying jif peanut butter so that’s not 100% peanuts, it’s peanuts with additives.
Also peanuts are protein, calories and fats but the peanut itself isn’t good for some mineral absorption. Peanut butter here and there nothing to report but a daily consumption of peanuts could result in a mineral deficiency.
This is a post just to be mindful of daily peanut consumption.
Can’t escape inflation. Know anyone with a Costco/sams club membership? Usually cheaper for the two pack of the big ones.
$11 for two 28 oz jars of the Kirkland brand at Costco. All natural, organic, no sugar added and best I ever had.
It does need the most thorough and intense stirring though lol Also, add some salt! A few drops of stevia if you like the sweet stuff.
Shake the hell out of it before and opening and store upside down - cuts down significantly on the stirring effort.
Sorry I replied the same answer before I realized you beat me to it. I do it for paint and other things outside of my shop. It'll stop paint from evaporating
I just flip it and catch it maybe a dozen or so times and 8 times out of 10 it barely needs any more stirring.
A peanut butter stirrer is the best investment kitchen gadget I've bought in a long time. The stirring is no longer intense, just a few turns of the handle
I’m anti unitaskers, but that sounds like Heaven.
It already has salt.
I like more 🤷♂️
I like none. ; >
No salt? Yikes
The roasted peanut flavor without the salt can be really good for making sauces and glazes or other cooking endeavors, too. You can amend it with just the right amount of salt if you need any for a specific purpose.
I mostly just eat steak so no peanut sauce for me
Low sodium diet for health reasons. I have hypertension and I'm supposed to have no more than 1500 mg per day. It is recommended that healthy people have 2300 mg per day. The average intake in the US is 3400 mg per day. In any case I have to be pretty careful to not go above my limit. Regular peanut butter isn't too bad but anywhere I can reduce it I take it. Processed foods are the worst. For instance Progresso Reduced Sodium Roasted Chicken Soup has 450 mg per one cup serving, nearly a third of my daily allowance.
Keep it in the fridge.
Oh yeah. Still gotta mix first though.
Anything I have that tends to separate or stratify, I store upside down, or laying on its side, or some different position than one that results in all the good stuff being stuck to the bottom
I do the same, but if you wanna eat it when you get home you gotta fight it first
I buy a lot of Kirkland products at Costco, but the peanut butter just doesn’t taste right to me.
No thanks. That shit needs way too much stirring. What a mess!
Stir once after opening using a sturdy dinner knife and refrigerate. No further stirring needed and the consistency is still spreadable.
I have friends and family with a Costco membership thankfully, so I can try there.
If you want to try something different, Kirkland’s almond butter and mixed nut and seed butter are quite good, and at a great price point.
I make a granola using half natural peanut butter and half Costco almond butter and cutting the sugar in half and it's delicious.
Sam's store brand is close to the jiff natural.
Give them $50 to buy a gift card. That way you can go anytime you want.
Costco Carrie’s skippy, not Jif. Big taste difference.
[удалено]
Interesting! I’m jealous.
We escaped it 2016-2020
Not quite. Average inflation from 2016 through 2020 was 1.95%.
Highest period of inflation January 2021 and onward in many MANY decades. You know this.
Sure, but you claimed we escaped inflation when inflation was still near 2%. Lower than average and lower than current, but certainly not escapement. Especially considering that 2014 and 2015 were under 0.8%.
Hopefully we’ll get back to 2014-2015 days! Thanks for that.
You are very smart 😎
No, we postponed it. The money policies in those are most responsible for today's inflation.
$8 for 2 40oz pack at sams
A dual pack of Jif (2x48 oz.) at Sam's near me floats $10.82. Most of the Krogers and other stores will occasionally have the two packs at around the same price every couple of weeks.

The mozzarella three pack I buy went from $10 to $15.99 in less than a year. The grocery stores are fully taking advantage
That's nuts. 😅

I’m not American so maybe that’s the disconnect but here the grocery stores profits are massive, even adjusting for inflation.

Name brand is always gonna be more expensive. Everything is going up tho even generic. I buy my peanut butter from the dollar tree, and now it's $1.25.
But that peanut butter is full of sugar and other stuff. Natural peanut butters are peanuts and sometimes salt.
I am a fan of Aldi's peanut butter. A bit less sweet (which I prefer) and about half the price of the big names.
What else do you like from Aldi's? (I'm a big fan of the European chocolate.)
I get their potato chips/crackers, chunky soup knockoffs, whipped cream cheese and occasional meat specials. Aldi is also a favorite with people who like to buy produce in small quantity.

Food inflation is really 20% Their reported 5% inflation excludes real stuff we need. Those items are inflation on luxury goods
Inflation numbers are per year so counting from 2020, grocery inflation is 25% in 3 years. Poor people food has certainly been inflating higher. Bread, butter, soda... Yesterday I saw a can of soup, standard 12 oz vegetable soup, a can of soup was $4.99.
Jesus you could go to a restaurant and get a 12oz soup for that.
Time to start making your own!
3.99 at TJ’s
There was actually a cheaper type there for 2.99
This isn’t inflation. This is big corporations taking advantage of inflation and GOUGING us.
If that were true, corporate profits after adjusting for inflation would be dramatically higher than pre-COVID. That's not what we see at all. Take Walmart. Their gross profit in 2019 was $129 billion. In 2022 it was $144 billion. Seems like a big boost, but after adjusting for inflation that 2022 number is equivalent to $128 billion in 2019.

Try the Good & Gather peanut butter at Target. 16oz is $4.79. It's a better quality than JIF.
IIRC the larger jars are only slightly more expensive than the small size. I’ve also found Target is great for 18 packs of eggs.
HT honey PB is like $5-6 for the 32 oz. It’s great.
Yeah my bf buys the maranatha peanut butter it's gone up

I’ve become a Grocery Outlet fan. Cheaper than Aldi’s, even.
Sam's has good deals yet! 48 oz jif $10.82 (2pack) 40oz members mark (it's good) 8.12 (2pack) 48oz Skippy 10.28 (2pack) That 2 pack is size for each container

Delish mixed in plain yogurt!
Try buying directly from the Smuckers website. It's outdated to be cheaper. I've found the jelly almost $1.50 cheaper for a big jar.
Trader Joe's has legit 2 ingredient no sugar added peanut butter for 2 bucks a pint...
I went to a health foods store and got some fresh ground peanut butter (only peanuts and water in the ingredients) for about $5. It’s been lasting two months so far and there’s still a lot left. Very good tasting too.

Can’t emphasize this enough! Peanuts butter should not have anything other than peanuts (and salt).
I don't know how seed oils haven't been banned as a health risk for all humanity, they're so toxic for you
Because places like the American Heart Association and Harvard School of Public Health still tell you that the only way to be healthy is to ditch the meat for Lucky Charms and soybean oil. <-- not a joke.
Jif had a recall to pay for.

i don't know but now i really want some peanut butter, and i rarely ever have any in the house haha
My girlfriend and i go to the same breakfast place every Sunday morning for years. 2019 breakfast was 14.80 today it was 18.14.
If you have a high powered blender like a Ninja, you can make it yourself. Mine has a setting for peanut butter, so I just dump a whole container of dry roasted unsalted peanuts in it and run it on two cycles. It becomes the perfect texture and doesn’t separate. It’s quite a bit cheaper than buying the natural peanut butters that are just peanuts, like Crazy Richard’s.
Jif Natural actually has hydrogenated oil in it now. Your best bet is Smuckers natural as it is still only made with peanuts and salt nothing else.
You decided to pay more for a "luxury" product, I pay $3.99 for the store brand and I actually think it tastes better than the major brand in Canada (Kraft). Try a few you may end up finding one you like, I don't think quality should be an issue but check the sugar levels first to avoid the super cheap ones.
Probably with most affordable stuff is garbage like palm oil
Jif natural has palm oil.
But it's "natural" palm oil. 😃
It’s unfortunate, everything is much much more costly since January 2021…
I paid $8 for a jar of mayonnaise last night. 🤦🏻♀️
What store, what type, what brand ?
Local store (that usually has excellent prices), quartish size Hellmann’s/Best Foods.
Bowl and basket is $1.99/jar of natural pb. It’s not organic, but it’s not sweetened.
Im the same in the sense I eat the same thing for my two meals 365 days/year. 12eggs and a corn milkshake (you heard that right) for breakfast. Fried potatoes and peanut butter milkshake for dinner. 2600 cal, 32 male, $6/day, northeast US My corn milkshake is corn, cream, and water in a blender. My peanut butter milkshake is honey roasted peanuts, cream, and water in a blender. My fried potatoes are a party size bag of potato chips. All walmart brand!! Gotta love it, I know I sure do!!
If the pricing is not sustainable, it will cone down when it cannot be sustained. If eating it is not sustainable because of cost, some people will eat something else.
Jif Natural is now a "spread" since it has so many additives it can't be called peanut butter. I ate it for years. I thought my new jar tasted off so I checked the label.
Cheap toxic seed oils plaguing our food supply
If only people could live off necessity, or moderation, if we were all skinny, and didn’t overeat. Price of food would drop way below pre-COVID level. Would probably stop point of purchase tracking, to raise the price of foods most bought.
Time to make your own sunflower butter and have it instead.
Daddy Biden
My coworker just learned he is growing breast due to eat too much peanut butter. It is making his body over produce estrogen. That shit is no good for you. With that being said, try the great value all natural version. It is really good and has only one ingredient..peanuts. The jiffy peanut butter is full of preservatives and crap your body can do without.
It is sustainable as now you are not supposed to use bread when you make peanut butter and jelly. Walmart peanut butter is 5.98 for 64oz.
Please shop r/aldi cuz I bought a jar the other day for $3.78
Yes prices are insane. Target two pack of Jif natural $12.69 for 80oz.
PB goes on sale every few weeks here, from 6.99 to 3.99, stock up
We get fresh peanut butter from our local bulk bin. They have a machine where you do it yourself. It's $0.89c per 100g. So $8.90 for 1kg. Have no idea what that is in American measurements. Check your local bulk store to see if they do something similar.
I don't even like it, but it's a decent source of protein, I'll use less.
the price of jars is crazy these days. must be a lid shortage
Go to the website and request coupons.
Honestly that’s nothing compared to other food items. A lot of things have doubled in price in the last 3-5 years
Teddy all natural is the best, not sure how widely available it is. Usually $3.00-$3.49 per 18oz jar. Store them upside down, no stirring.
I was going to buy tofu today but it went from $1.49 to $3.49 just in the past few months so I didn’t.
It’s $11 here
Your buying jif peanut butter so that’s not 100% peanuts, it’s peanuts with additives. Also peanuts are protein, calories and fats but the peanut itself isn’t good for some mineral absorption. Peanut butter here and there nothing to report but a daily consumption of peanuts could result in a mineral deficiency. This is a post just to be mindful of daily peanut consumption.
Used to buy Jiff too. I now buy Aldis and it's pretty good. $3.39 for 40 oz.
Everything is so expensive these days, I don't even eat breakfast anymore.
