If it’s in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.
Comment on It just does.

$12 for 336g of peanut butter is robbery.
You can pick up a 40 of Jif at Target for $6 and that’s 1134g.

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)

Packaged like that it’s probably ground in-store
deranger@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Grind deez nuts. I can’t find a reference for price ground in-store but that still seems astronomical.
ggppjj@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

This is top quality, grass-fed Mr. Peanut, butchered just today. Quality comes with a price

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.

Assuming this was taken in America, no way those are grams.
deranger@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Says price per kg on the label 🤷♂️

Wild.

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.
thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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…
Zier@fedia.io 10 months ago
Correct, and the 'no stir' version is always palm oil.
thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
deranger@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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.

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.
qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 10 months ago
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).
This was a decade ago, so perhaps things changed.
