~It's been up 10% this year already. Rats! We go through a 1lb jar every week.
Now it's cheaper to eat sale meat at $2lb! PB used to be frugal. Crazy.~~Constance

Emergency Essentials has peanutbutter powder that tastes like the real thing when you rehydrate it. Although, I have about 6 months worth of the jarred stuff, I think I might invest a little in the powder.....before the price jumps even more...gggrrr.

it looks like the net newspaper articles are saying the rise in prices should be around 30%.
Looks like the peanut crop needed Hurricane Irene.

I just added four or five jars to my stockpile a few weeks ago when I had several coupons for Planters--it was cheaper to buy those than the equivilant sized jar in the Great Value brand from Walmart! But now it looks like I may need to buy some more as I have several PB-based treats on my list to make for Christmas gifts.
On a related note, I noticed last night that the shredded cheese I usually buy at the grocery store jumped in price by about $.30 since I last bought some a couple of weeks ago. Food prices are getting crazy so I guess I'll have to get smarter!May Goals:
Only $300 for groceries this month - $206/$300
Monthly coupon/valued customer savings = $14.08
No wasted food!
Stick to budget!
Track spending DAILY
Get checkbook balanced
Save $200 toward EF: $85/$200
2012 FV Challenges: Try New Recipes Challenge: 22/52, Menu Planning Challenge: 21/52, Grocery Reduction Budget Challenge, Change Jar Challenge: $27.81 as of 1-14-12, Lose A Pound A Week Challenge: 3/48, No Wasted Food Challenge
2012 Goals

5. Keep our grocery budget to $300 each month.
6. Use Dave Ramsey's budget sheet and get on track with this each pay period.
7. Get and keep checkbook balanced and keep an eye (weekly if not daily) on our e-statements.
8. Get savings account up to $8,000 (incl. emergency fund)
9. Make 2 Christmas gifts per month: 0/24.
10. Get our home organized: use a receipt book, keep my coupon organizer in check, have a touch-once policy for paper (touch once and then file or toss).
