$12 for 336g of peanut butter is robbery. Alaska prices or something? $36.45 per kg unit price!
You can pick up a 40 of Jif at Target for $6 and that’s 1134g. Almost 7x the value, and it’s the good shit.
Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.
Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.
The oil in Jif is rapeseed (canola) and/or soybean, not palm. Not disagreeing with your sentiment in general, but for the sake of clarity...
Correct, and the 'no stir' version is always palm oil.
It's hard to escape palm oil. It's a shame. It could be an environmentally friendly option if greedy people were just a little less greedy.
The sad part about palm oil (other than environmental) is, it blocks the taste of most foods. It's too heavy. Things just taste greasy and almost flavorless.
2% or less of added oils. I get natty PB as well but it’s not quite as good as a bad food. I’m 6’3” and 195 at near 40 years old, my diet is fine. Jif is probably the “worst” thing I enjoy regularly. I still maintain it’s the best PB of the commercially produced varieties.
This was my biggest complaint about an abroad stint in the Netherlands
all the peanut butter* was JIF style/huge ingredient list. Agree completely
only acceptable ingredients are peanuts and salt.
The beer wasn't all my style, but I could certainly appreciate it.
*"pindakaas" literally "peanut cheese," I think because "butter" is reserved for dairy products.
Then you didn't look hard enough. In the Netherlands there are plenty of high quality pb brands.
I'm sure there are, but they were not available at Jumbo (or any of the other stores I went to). In the US, I generally find them at any store I go to (a long with JIF, etc. of course)
I never have to "look hard enough" to find it.
This was a decade ago, so perhaps things changed.
I haven't been to the Netherlands in a while either, but at Albert Heijn they had PB made from peanuts only, and I remember there being several brands that were like this. Miles better than in other parts of Europe.
you had a problem with carlsberg?
If it's in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.
Packaged like that it's probably ground in-store
Grind deez nuts. I can’t find a reference for price ground in-store but that still seems astronomical.
Hmmm, it being wrapped in a flat usually indicates being repackaged from larger foodservice sized containers, which my own experience with West Virginia food desert grocery stores has led me to understand is common in some areas.
I'd expect fresh ground to be oily-er too, enough that stocking it upright like that wouldn't be a great idea.
That other site weighs in
Also see it’s refrigerated… hot year round in the capital:
Anyway, you were close (squint for red 2/3 of the way down on the right)
This is top quality, grass-fed Mr. Peanut, butchered just today. Quality comes with a price
Assuming this was taken in America, no way those are grams.
Edit: I zoomed in and maybe it is? Does look like kgs.
Weird all around.
Says price per kg, net weight kgs on the label 🤷♂️
If it’s pounds it’s even worse. 2.2x worse, in fact.
Wild.
The package isn't resealable, either. That's just shady, pricing it so high, and making the consumer pay more for resealable packaging is just next-level greed.
