  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.

    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.

  $12 for 336g of peanut butter is robbery.

  You can pick up a 40 of Jif at Target for $6 and that’s 1134g.

    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…

      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:

    Packaged like that it’s probably ground in-store

    • deranger@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

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

  • Maeve@kbin.earth ⁨9⁩ ⁨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.

      Says price per kg on the label 🤷‍♂️

  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.
