    forever greatful the co-op by me has a fresh peanut butter machine, its only $2.99 a pound which isnt bad. At best the store brand US style PB is $2.50 a pound. Worth the 50cents imo, and It’s even a bit cheaper I save 10% by bringing my own jar!

      The cheap off-brand no-stir peanut butter I eat is $1.50 / lb ($0.35 / 100 g), the nice organic peanut butter I like to buy is $7.65 / lb ($1.69 / 100 g)

      I could probably make my own peanut butter at home (I have a Vitamix), but I don’t know where I would buy cheap peanuts.

      Either way, I enjoy the taste of the cheap, no-stir peanut butter (I was raised on stuff like this), and I don’t really understand or appreciate whatever health impact it may or may not have to eat the cheap peanut butter vs the more expensive one - whereas I very much do appreciate the economic cost of the higher peanut butter and that immediate effect on my grocery bill.
