 The peanut crop, that is.  

Just got word we can expect a dramatic, like 40%, rise in the cost of peanut butter.  Yep, I'm headed to Sam's before it hits.

I'm still adapting to my bacon going from $3.70/lb to 4.90.  

Time to cut non-essential costs...anyone want a couple teenagers?

That means my $3 jar of PB is going to be $4.20.

I might survive this...lessee, at about a jar a month, one year crop issues, my PB cost will go up $14.40 for the whole year.

I'm not buying 12 jars now to save 14 bucks.

 I would KILL for a $4.20 jar of PB.  I pay $7.50 for a jar of American Garden branded stuff.

We are already seeing prices on peanut butter go up. I just won't buy it if it gets to be too expensive.

As for bacon I found a brand call Galwanty that is sold in ShopRite, three pounds for 9.99.  That's 3.33 a pound. II like the taste of it and the fact that it's thick cut. Cost wise it's actually cheaper for me to buy it in a three pound package then to get it in one pound packages.  That is, until this week when I went to ShopRite and they were having a sale on the ShopRite brand of bacon for $2.50 a pound. So I got four pounds. Tomorrow I go back to the store and get four more pounds and if I can get hubby to go on Saturday maybe he will pick up another 4.  Cheapest I have gotton bacon in a long time so I want to stock up on it.
