Better Hoard Peanut Butter

J.M. Smucker, maker of the popular Jif peanut butter, will hike prices almost 30% starting November 8, as this year's peanut harvests have been the worst in decades.

I like peanut butter just for the simple fact that if I do not know what I want to eat I can always have a peanut butter sandwich.

Prices for a ton of runner peanuts, used to make peanut butter, touched $1,200 mid-October, compared to $450 per ton in the same month a year ago >>>

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

This warning has been out there for several months. Now it's really going public, maybe to drive up prices?  :???: :shrug:

A week or two ago I doubled down on peanut butter after reading about a potential shortage.  Not only do I love peanut butter, I have found it works quite well in mouse traps.  I no longer let m/zeit bate traps, she uses way too much, maybe it's a just guilt thing about the last meal with her, I really don't know. :rofl:

I think the Texas peanut crop, brutalized by this drought, accounts for about 40% of the national production of peanuts.
