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

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 3 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…
deranger@sh.itjust.works 3 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.

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

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 3 months ago
Grind deez nuts. I can’t find a reference for price ground in-store but that still seems astronomical.
ggppjj@lemmy.world 3 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
Maeve@kbin.earth 3 months ago
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 3 months ago
Says price per kg on the label 🤷♂️

The styrofoam seems worse for the environment.

What store is carrying these awesome Peanut Butter Steak Fillets? I cannot wait to break out the BBQ!

Perfect for deep frying! You will not regret eating this much deep-fried peanut butter.

That’s just shitty 😁

That spreadable Kerrygold is just unnecessary. Especially if it’s warm out. Whatever they’ve done to it it must just be worse than the regular Kerrygold.

For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I was thinking this is either some shitty store unpackaging and repackaging peanut butter, or it’s made locally.
In this timeline you just never know.

I have seen it sold like this in a Krogars in Tennessee.
