Peanut Butter Prices Headed Up Fast

[mrjarrell]

It's been a bad year in the peanut world and those of us who indulge in a bit of peanut butter better get set to pay a heftier price. If you're a prepper, you'd best get to the store soon and stock up. It was already headed up and it's just going to get worse. Wouldn't surprise me to see shortages later.

You calling for the government peanut program to be reinstituted so you can get your peanut butter cheaper?

This info has been blowing around for a few months now...I've been following it. They are expecting an increase of about 15-30 cents per pound at the shelf. I suspect it will go up further from there as we get closer to the next harvest and supplies are diminishing. We go through about 15 pounds per month in my house, our consumption has doubled since my 12yo son moved here in the spring....he really likes his PB.

Pretty sure I can live if there happens to be a PB shortage.

Even if it rises a full dollar per pound it would still only be $15 per month. I think I'll be okay, but we always keep about 50-60 pounds in the prep pantry just in case.

Sure, but don't forget about the other products that depend on them. Nitroglycerine being one!

I think a trip to Costco is in order

I love my PB but its so bad for you.

Would peanuts grow in Indiana? I know y'all grow soy beans and corn in this state but I never see anything else. And yes I said y'all.

Peanut Butter is GOOD for you. Mono-saturated fat, high in protein, good as a meat substitute, high calorie, easy to digest, just don't over do it. I like my PB sandwiches to be grilled....toasty bread with melted PB...BIG glass of ice cold milk. Mmmm MMmmm

Peanuts grow best in a sandy soil. Majority of Indiana's soil is too heavy to produce a good peanut crop.

Thanks. My mum is a really good gardener and we've never grown them.

Most of Indiana seems to be at one point under Lake Michigan so I guess its a clay soil.
