Another hot, dry summer has devastated this year

Kartographer was the first to alert us to these coming price increases, it is the beef prices and possible shortages included in this article that caught my eye.

Food Shortages High Prices And Riots

Oh great..peanut butter is one of my main food staples along with protein powder, tuna and chicken. Better buy a bunch this week.

[Average Al]

Jusy stocked up. I didn’t see any price rise yet.

[hflynn]

YYYYYAWWWWNNNN!!!! I haven't eaten peanut butter in 40 years. Wake me when it’s over.

[Immerito]

prepper ping!

I’m buying a case of Jiff a week. The exp date is mid 2013. I understand that a certain strain hit hardest is the only kind used in peanut butter.

[InterceptPoint]

Yikes and double yikes.

Sam's Club still has 6 pound cans of Peter Pan for $7.98 but expect the price to jump soon.
Where I live that price is a bargain - much less per ounce than even the generics in the grocery stores.

"Americans eat about 1.5 million pounds of peanut products annually."

That should read "1.5 billion pounds ...".

THIS IS WAR!!!

Peanut butter is a “must have” in my house.

[AmusedBystander]

Everyone “stocking” up will guarantee a price increase.

Another nail in the coffin of Baraq’s re-election.

A year from now, most people will be calling 2007 the “good old days”

[Gator113]

THAT is for certain.

[Kartographer]

PING!

$19 at Amazon!

Everyone “stocking” up will guarantee a price increase.

Supply and demand works, granted...but it was already going up.

In any case, I've done my bit to lessen the supply!

time to learn to make your own peanut butter.peanuts are cheap if you buy them from someone who doesn’t have a peanut allotment. look at your local farmers market

[FlingWingFlyer]

I feel sorry for “the chillren” who are going to grow up not knowing what a peanut butter with grape jelly sandwich tastes like. FU and your “hope and change” BO!

[Mr. K]

you might wish for some peanut butter before this is over

it is a great source of protien

I just bought four huge Jif Extra Crunchy peanut butter this week.

Love my pb&js with peach jelly! Add a glass of milk and some Lays potato chips and I am in heaven!!!
