Peanut Butter Price Increase

[0coupon0]

Heard on the news today. "Scorching hot, dry weather in the major peanut-growing states like Georgia and Texas has devastated this year's peanut crop."

Glad I got enough peanut butter to last me at least a year off the last skippy deal. The article says next years crop looks much more promising.

I don't remember what company they said makes JIF buyt they are raising the price by 30% in November.

We like Jif the best so I am going to get those double packs at Target. My kids don't like the Skippy for some reason so I only did one skippy deal.

The Planters is $1.69 at Ultra starting tomorrow so $.94 after that $.75/1 coupon.

dh liked it -- I thought it was too sweet. More toward jif than the skippy.

I miss peanut butter. Munchkin has a peanut allergy so we only eat Sunbutter (sunflower) in our house. Never any coupons and never on sale. It is really hard to pay that $4.99 a jar for it. It is sad when the grocery stores are always cheaper than Target here. They want $5.89 for a jar. OUCH!!! Stock up now ladies on the PB if it is going up that much. Yikes.

Do they have make any kind of "natural" Planters similar to the Skippy natural line?

Not that Ultra carries (I looked on the last sale) but don't know in general. It's new-ish.
