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.

$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.

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.

deranger ,

Says price per kg, net weight kgs on the label 🤷‍♂️

If it’s pounds it’s even worse. 2.2x worse, in fact.

Wild.

Packaged like that it’s probably ground in-store

deranger ,

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.

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

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…

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.

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

Maeve ,

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.

The real fun is when you replace one with human feces.

That’s just shitty 😁

The styrofoam seems worse for the environment.

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