Remember back when I Made Peanut Butter? Here’s an update!
First, I wasn’t processing it enough. My daughter pointed out we should run the food processor longer. That definitely helped make better and smoother peanut butter.
I had previously said:
I really just need to work out a scheme to get free nuts now and I’ll be all set!
I’ve not yet figured out how to get free peanuts, but I just got a 16 once container of peanuts for $2.09 USD from Aldi. Last time I bought on (a few months ago?) it was $2.19 USD. Still, not bad!
I’ve found 16 ounce containers of peanut butter for around $2 USD but they contain palm oil, or hydrogenated oil, or other additives that are not needed or desired.
To get natural peanut butter, free of additives, you’re probably looking at $6 to $10 (or more!) for a 16 ounce jar…
So yeah, if I can get a container of peanuts for around $2 then I’m getting a jar of all-natural (no additives) peanut butter for around $2, and that’s a good deal.
