Is peanut butter expensive where you live?

I ususally buy the 1lb/16oz Great Value No-Stir All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, but that lasts at least a couple weeks in my household. It's only $2.18. Crunchy is the same price.
5lb/80oz double packs are less than $8.

Isn't PB really easy to make. Peanuts are pretty cheap.
Peanut sauce/satay is pretty common and awesome.
It's ridiculous. Finding it in stores is hard to begin with and even then it's usually in small jars. Sometimes my family in the states throw in a jar or two when they send me stuff, thankfully. If I'm lucky they'll include some real Cheetos too. Japan's abominable Cheetos are a sin.
They swap out the peanut oil for palm oil, which has a higher melting point, keeping the oil from separating out of the peanut butter. Thus, no stirring is required. They only add a tiny amount of organic cane sugar as a sweetener (2 or 3 grams per serving), and it winds up being the perfect amount.
Lol. Peanut based sauces for satay are very common in Indonesia. And fucking awesome btw.
Definitely. I can't stand the flavor of peanuts, but I like cashew, almond, and other "plant butters." Sadly all of these are much more expensive than peanut butter (sunflower butter is a little more reasonable).
Good peanut butter (the only kind worth eating) is about NZ$6/400g (about US$4).
I do however order in bulk (like, 16kg in one order) from myprotein. I eat a lot of peanut butter (at least 90g/day) so it makes sense to buy that way.
You can get one of those bad boys for <NZ$10 (US$6.6) when they have a discount:
It's 100% peanut and it actually tastes great (which I really wasn't expecting considering their protein powders are so fucking disgusting).

Generally $2.50-$4.00 for the regular stuff, but obviously more for gourmet brands and "organic" brands (which can get up to $7.00-$8.00).
Yeah what in the fuckery is going on. Used to pay about 1,800 for that double pack which is still overpriced and then a few months ago it went up to 5,000....
Nah bruv. Someone needs to get their head kicked in

When I lived in South Korea it was initially almost impossible to find. My second year, the E-Mart near me started carrying it. But my first year you had to go to the stores around the U.S. Army base to find it, and it was definitely at least 2x the price you'd see in the U.S.
Also, the best peanut butter is the kind you have to stir. Laura Scudder's is legit. Worth the price. However, you have to stir it, which is a barrier to entry. And if you don't stir it well, you get a super oily top half and a dried out bottom half. Best is to stir it up well, then leave it in the refrigerator upside down.

I wonder if people saying chicken and peanut butter are gross realize that bomb ass sauce at all those Benihana type places are basically just gigantic tubs of peanut butter and mayonnaise mixed together. We'd make it in a plastic drum like the kind Jessie was supposed to dissolve the body in on Breaking Bad.

Dat much. Not sure if it's outrageous though I don't know what nutella costs elsewhere.
Nothing about it even sounds gross unless you only think of Reese when you think of peanut butter. Unsweetened (and probably even slightly sweetened store bought) peanut butter or peanuts go great with lots of savory foods.
It's pretty expensive, weird as it look like it's made in Japan (has Japanese lettering)
Cost €1.79 here (discounted)
But! I see they have skippy for ÂĄ579 isn't that what you're looking for? o.o
Fuck dude, I've actually lost like 10kg+ since I came to Japan a year and a half ago, I've regained like 6 in the last few months, but it has been a struggle so far. Buying and eating the chicken packs whole, I used to use them for 2 meals lol.

I'd have to buy 8 of these for a total of 4624円 to equal the amount that used to be available for 1800円! I don't really have a love for Skippy it was just by far the cheapest before and since peanut butter here is in general expensive there's just no longer any cheaper options lol.
Japanese peanuts are expensive for some reason and I can get cheaper like chinese ones in bulk but it wouldn't be much cheaper (at least compared to the original skippy price) and I'd need a processor. I actually did buy some from a bulk food shop today that has one of those machines setup for you to make however much you want on the fly. Was 120g for 250円 so not so cheap but oh well.
2$ for this:
But it's 2 for 4$ at my local spot.
Alternatively, pretty easy to make peanut butter homemade.
I have noticed peanuts are a bit expensive, but of all the 'nuts', they're the cheapest. So... I take what I can get. ~2.50$ for 16oz - no shells. That may seems like a good price, thing is, I eat peanuts a ton! (and I share a lot) Price adds up in a week lol

This is the best Peanut Butter.... I used to only be a creamy type of guy, but when I accidentally tried this....I've been hooked since.
Just enough cream... just enough nuts. Shit doesn't get stuck in your teeth either.
Be mature folks.
You've never had thai peanut chicken before? It's legitly amazing.
In a bit somebody will say that they put peanut butter on lobster.

Actually just posted about how its good, not sure why I responded to them negatively lol. Maybe an image of a Skippy slathered rotisserie. Still good on lots of things besides those two though!!!
Living in Japan and loving peanut butter has become a nightmare...I bought a 12 pack of small jars for like $50 the other day. Costco is screwing me over!
Close, but Trump's tariffs only affect the American price of its own metal imports. A few months ago the EU and Japan both separately announced retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States, including motorcycles, denim clothing and peanut butter.
So rising prices for peanut butter in Japan could well be a sign that the predicted trade wars are under way.
