What currency is that? $12.25 American seems like a lot for peanut butter, especially BYOJ peanut butter.

    The photo shows a nonstandard, but not unheard of, way of selling peanut butter in Trinidad and Tobago.

    American here: my high school used to sell lunch milk in clear hand-sized square plastic bags. We were expected to successfully pierce only one side of the bag with a pointed straw.

    The technique was… learned. Some people took a while to master it.

    Oh man I remember those milk bags! But I had them in elementary school, they were phased out long long before I made it to HS.

    After you finished the milk, assuming you’d done so successfully (a lot of kids weren’t trusted to pierce their own), you’d inflate it and shove the straw through the other side to make a balloon on a stick!

    Thank goodness we finally get a choice. Back in my day if you wanted Trinidad, you had to have Tobago too!

    FWIW, I've seen PB sold like this at local Amish stores as well... so not necessarily anathema in the USA.

    The Amish use styrofoam and plastic packaging? That would seem to entirely miss the point..

    I was just thinking, my peanut butter doesn't have nearly enough microplastics and forever chemicals

    I don't believe this image is real. There aren't any finger sized impressions in the splats.

    Why are they significantly different weights? Enough to be a $3.15 difference?

    Some people want less, I say this is a win for consumers.

    You'd think it would be cheaper without the glass or plastic jar, but no.

    You know how easy is too make peanut butter? Americans place cook and stop giving money to good industry.

    It’s incredibly cheap at the store and it’s not like homemade is better as long as you don’t buy the doctored stuff at the store. Also, do you really expect everyone to have a dedicated grinder in their home? That is incredibly environmentally wasteful for no benefit.

    You at least need a food processor or a good blender.

    Peanuts themselves aren't all that cheap. The best you could do is get cans from costco, they sell them as a loss leader.

    Canned peanut for peanut butter... Does that work? I have only made it from roasted Spanish peanuts and i am suspicious of your recipe.
