[Merged] [Groceries] What happened to Kraft Peanut Butter Sales?

[renoldman]

I am thinking to stock up with the $3.33 sale.

I thought that prices were going to go to like $2.50 for a "sale" price, not this $5 is a sale stuff.

Why am I going to buy at this $3.33 price? Looks like another drought in the Southern US, this means that prices will likely go up again.

Peanut butter sandwiches (I mean in the jar) were so quick, easy and relatively cheap to make. With the prices going up, is anyone else looking at alternatives?

If so, what are you buying?

[renoldman]

I should point out that other brands don't agree with me.

Maybe some preservatives in the others that don't like me?

A food processor sounds like a decent idea, but at this time, I don't really have any other use for one.

I miss the sales too because their 750g Natural was always included with the 1kg stuff and my stockpile ran out about 4 months ago.

Loblaws, or at least the local Valu-Mart, always include the 750g Natural (brown lid) in their sales. We stocked up about a month ago when they were on sale for $3.99.

OTOH Food Basics never includes these in their sales even though their flyers say something like "assorted varieties."

I've found that Basics always includes it. Back when sales were good it was where I always stocked up, and I recently got 4 during the $3.33 sale.

No Frills has 1Kg jars on for $3.88 this week (Jan 11th to Jan 17th, ON flyer). Best price in months, that I've seen. I'm still well stocked from September..

^ Thanks for the heads up. I still regret not picking up more during their last sale, so this should deal with it!

Peanut prices have gone way down since. But on the food market, once a price has gone up, it usually never goes back down. So the regular price is likely to remain high, while sale prices will go back to "normal" and therefore "look" like killer awesome deals.

Sorry to derail? but it seems grapefruit is also cheap again. I just saw 4 for $1 at No Frills.. it was like 3 for $2 not so long ago.

What happened?

What happened?

They're not good for you if you're on meds. So either lay off the grapefruit or change meds

Grapefruit Is a Culprit in More Drug Reactions

More likely: It's winter. Grapefruit and other citrus is in season. Supply drives down prices.

We stock up when it is on sale as well. Interested in making own pb and almond butter if it is cheaper.

What an odd thread....

I buy PC peanut butter. I can't tell any difference.

I remember buying a dozen grapefruits in January for $2. 4/$1 ain't bad, but still way more than in the past.
