Bad news peanut butter and jelly fans! The cost for making your sandwich is going up. Smucker is raising the price on Jif Peanut Butter as much as 30% this fall. Jelly prices are also expected to rise. And Phil Lempert at SupermarketGuru.com warns choosy Moms may no longer choose Jif. He talks to John Wordock.

1. I don't buy Smuckers and I don't buy Jif.

My peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are so cheap I would not consider complaining about their cost.

2. same here.. we buy natural peanut butter and Quince jelly from Vermont Country store

if it costs more , so be it:)

4. Actually, Kroger brand natural peanut butter is pretty good...

Nothing but peanuts and is easier than most to stir the separation (for some reason)... I haven't had anything but natural peanut butter in years.

[Roland99]

6. No Krogers here. I miss that store...

[hlthe2b]

8. we don't have Krogers, but our local chain, King Soopers, carries it...

Good stuff and very reasonably priced.

[Roland99]

16. Smiths carries Kroger products, too. But, alas, nothing in FL does.

5. They offer free shipping?

:)

[SoCalDem]

12. no, but quince jelly is worth the postage

:)..we use it sparingly

[hlthe2b]

3. Peanut butter is one think you can stock up on....

Though I would never eat Jif.... Uggh... all that sugar?

7. Trader Joe's All Natural

half the price, no crap.

9. Then let them eat cheesburgers.

10. No problem, I hate peanut butter.

[Javaman]

11. No more peanut butter jelly time?

this banana is bumming hard.

[MrScorpio]

13. To say that I'm bummed is an understatement.

14. All food costs have gone up -- and they are going up WAY MORE

...Anything you can do to begin producing your own food (clean food), and saving natural open-pollinated seeds -- is the very soul of wisdom. My advice: take positive, pro-active steps now.

The food scene is gonna get freaky, especially if the RepubliCons, Inc. get an even firmer chokehold on the USA.

15. Planters makes good peanut butter as well. nt
