Found out some devastating news this morning:
tesco have stopped selling our peanut butter!!!
We used to get ‘nuts about nature 100% peanut butter’ and at 340g for £1.75 it was a good choice.
no added sugar, palm oil and 51p per 100g bargain

anyone got a a good alternative that doesn’t cost the earth?!

    Aldi & Lidl both have various "grades" of Peanut Butter (and they also both have Almond Butter, too).

    I think that the 100% Nut peanut butter was £1.19 for 280g last time I bought it.

    That looks pretty perfect! Last time I checked the one in Lidl (which I admit was a while ago) they only did one with 97% peanuts, and with palm oil.
    42.5p per 100g nice

    I will check it out, thank you!

  • Athe aldi one is superb. Either crunchy or smooth. I’ve seen a 100% one in Lidl?
  • Hiya.  Make your own!!   It's so simple if you have a food processor/blender.  Pick your favourite peanuts, salted, dry roasted, whatever and just blitz them for a few minutes depending on how many you use.  Just keep going and it WILL turn into butter..  I promise.  You might want to add a little oil or salt etc depending upon your nut choice. AND........ you make it how YOU like it. Done it so many times now.  NEVER ever buy it!!  ENJOY

    I was going to suggest make your own but you beat me to it 
  • Amazon doesn't carry Equal Exchange organic peanut butter which just contained peanuts. I have two jars left.
