Okay have we seen the price of peanut butter? :amazed: I dropped and rolled in aisle 2. :panic:

For years, I pay $4.28 for a large jar of Smuckers. In recent months, it jumped $1. Okay, I get it somewhat. Today they wanted $6.28 for one jar!!!! Excuse moi? :eek:

I may be off the peanut for good. Pray for me. This is my main staple. There may be a second stick in the house. :crybaby:

I got a bag fund people! Ripping me off for a nut is NOT okay. :mad:

If you use Costco, they have awesome organic peanut and almond butter. (Order online for lower prices.) That pb is so good I can't believe there's no sugar added. It's also smoother than Smucker's.

Thank you! yeah, i mean for a few moments i can toss the crossbody strap on my shoulder but i mainly leave it in the car, it's so cute but i dunno, i am honestly more a wallet girl.. conflicted i am more rustic and basic, just who I am. Like fancy things.. but it's not really me, does any of that make sense?

I know right?! 1yo! dd did pics of her today with all her little stickers she's done monthly pics with these age stickers, today she lay them all out around her... crazy. I keep warning them, it doesn't last it's gone fast. It's intense and hard, but gone quick. What's that saying? days are long, years are short.

Yes, that makes sense. Maybe your new bag will work better for certain events or you might just not want it, and that is great you know what you like and what works for you.

Your fire pit sounds so nice. Enjoy! I keep thinking about getting a small portable one. It sounds like it would be really nice to sit out by the fire in the fall. I would really enjoy it.

I remember people warning me that kids grow up fast. It's so true! I really like them as they grow up (so far). ;)

We have pumpkins! seriously see we little guys so exciting lol my grandson is so happy to see "his pumpkins" growing :lol: It's fun to see this through little kids eyes again.

Grab a pic tomorrow... just ran out of time today... must show you all the one mare. She is gonna be a unicorn for the birthday party which is unicorn and rainbow themed. DD dyed her mane tonight multi colors. All safe food dye. she has a horn for her too. This horse is a miniature size A which means she is tiny and has a mane and tail for days, a real live my little pony kind.

If you recall she was once in my avatar. :biggrin:

I'm a peanut butter weirdo. I only like the stuff without sugar and salt. I buy Adams or Laura Scudders. It is hard to find the stuff without salt. Before covid, one of our grocery stores had a place where you could get it ground to order.

They turn into real people. The biggest shock for me was when they went off to school and had experiences and knew people that I didn't. I remember once in the grocery, some one greeted my 3 year old son and I had no idea who she was. It turned out she was a parent who helped out in his preschool.

I don’t have a membership. That’s my problem. I eat peanuts and nothing else. There are so few affordable natural brands. I may resort to buying peanuts or almonds and making my own.

You can buy it from the Costco web site without a membership with a 5% mark up (or instacart) and still save a lot. Their peanut and almond butters are dry roasted; so that might be why they are around half the price of the brands that make it raw. I've considered making it too. I "made" my own in a store a few times, lol. Let me know if you try it! I've stopped eating peanut butter because I break out and look puffy when I eat it...not a great look. The Kirkand brand is so good, it's hard to believe they aren't hiding something addictive in there.

That's a bonus you like it pure! Aha, maybe it's the added sea salt that makes Kirkland's so addictive. The almond butter is just dry roasted almonds. I can't believe we just tried them this year. They should hire me as an ambassador...as long as I don't mention my reaction. ;)

It's funny when someone knows who you are because they know your child or someone else you're connected to, and they ask how they're doing. I end up trying to figure out who they are and if I'm even supposed to know who they are. We noticed a girl staring at one of our boys. After a while she sat next to him, then leaned over to introduce herself and tell us how she knew him. Maybe she noticed us peeking at her watching him! lol!

Hmm wow. I guess I will have to watch the pb prices. I think food in general is more expensive since Covid. And some restaurant prices increased too.
