You kidding? Have you seen the price lately? And its only going higher.
PB is now more expensive than the better cuts of beef. It will top off at
12 bucks a jar in a few months. And the price will *never* go back down.

M&M's are the worst. They keep raising the price and filling the bags with
air. They virtually have a monopoly.

Oreo's are also pricey.

I can't eat them any more because of the sickeningly sweet artificial
sweeteners. The sweetness is unnaturally strong and has a distinctly
artificial taste. Same for Reese's and Skittles.

But only two Oreos have a day's supply of chocolate flavor. It's more
concentrated chocolate than chocolate.

I wonder why the excellent Belgian chocolate at Trader Joe's is less than $5
a pound when Hershey's is about twice as much in the economy size.

I've heard that about Reese's. I only buy Reese's in the airtight snack
packs. The snack packs are usually fresher.

I like the Trader Joe's chocolate bars. They remind me Fanny Farmer (now
Fanny May/1-800-FLOWERS) bars.

It's hard to find a good mint-chocolate bar these days. They don't make 'em
like they used to.

How do you like the new Hershey's Kisses that they're advertising on
TV? Think Nestlé's Crunch without the rice cereal, just full of
holes.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

???? Even a few days ago, I was getting PB for $2.49-2.99 here
near Boston. Thanks for the reminder to get yet more jars.

At $12, it rivals Justin's (Divine) chocolate-hazelnut spread.
You can guess which I'd choose, if that continued to be the case.
Or I would buy more almond and other nut butters.

At only $1,200 a ton to the local farmer.... the middle man is the one
cleaning up (as usual).

Laura Schudder's 2 pound jar was 9.00 at my local Vons. We always get hit
hard way ahead of the trend. Same with gasoline.

One thing is for sure, they won't sell much at that price. Beats me how the
price can maintain.

OMG! How much did Laura Schudder's cost before the price increased?

I'm going to make my own maple-almond butter, and save a few bucks.
