Peanut butter, oh how I love my Peanut butter!   Whether it’s spread on a piece of toast, slathered over a banana, or just used in baking… yum!

As much as I love my peanut butter, I’m saddened by this news!  You may have seen in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that due to another hot, dry summer this year’s peanut crop was completely devastated, sending prices for the peanut skyrocketing and forcing peanut-butter brands including the popular Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan brands to raise their prices.  According to the Wall Street Journal, the prices of peanut butter will be rising 24% to 40% in the next few weeks.   You can read more details here or here.

With that being said, you may want to pull out all your peanut butter coupons and scout out the best deals before November rolls around! Here are a few deals to note…

Starting 10/23-10/29, Walgreens will be offering Planters Peanut Butter 16.3 oz jars for 2/$3 with in-ad coupon!  This seems like a good price and if you have any coupons, you can get an even better deal!

Another deal to note is on Amazon… the Peanut Butter & Co. Peanut Butter, Crunch Time, 16-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6) is priced at just $15.92 after Subscribe & Save + FREE Shipping through Amazon Prime!  That makes each jar of 100% natural peanut butter just $2.65 shipped to your door, which is a great price considering this brand of peanut butter sells for over $4 a jar in-store at Target (and other stores as well)!  And the best part in my opinion is that you won’t even have to go anywhere to get this deal… love that!

Or if you’re a Jif addict, you can snag the Jif Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread, 18-Ounce (Pack of 6) priced at just $14 after Subscribe & Save + FREE Shipping through Amazon Prime!  That makes each 18 ounce jar ONLY $2.33 each shipped to your door! (Thanks, dr_beanz!)
