Ok. Giant Eagle had almost no peanut butter on the shelf. Not even my smuckers natural! There was, I think, giant eagle brand. crawls into corner, chewing on pillowcase…🥜 ---

Paranoid type that I am I can’t help wondering if there’s some link between this and the baby formula thing. ---

Interesting to see the substitution effects here in San Antonio. You can barely find Skippy, any variety, yet Peter Pan is plentiful. ---

Our Walmart’s shelves were practically bare of all peanut butter. No Skippy or Peter Pan. I needed a jar of cheap peanut butter for giving the dogs their meds, so I bought one of the last jars of Great Value. After I got it home I saw that the Best Buy Date was 6/22/22. Oh well, the dogs won’t care. ---

I followed the instructions in the newspaper article about the recall and reported my unopened jar online. My jar was indeed on the recall list. What I don’t understand is why it will take them up to six weeks to get me a coupon for a replacement jar. Best reason I could come up with is that it will take that long to get product back on the shelves. ---

Best reason I could come up with is that it will take that long to get product back on the shelves. I just brought mine to the service desk at Walmart and another jar to the local grocery store. They both gave me my money back. I didn’t even have receipts. ---

I was reading something and saw a headline in a side panel about Jif recall. I had just finished eating some from a newly opened jar. Talk about timing. Got a store robocall plus a thing on a receipt. Apparently if I take the two jars I have back, I’ll get a refund. ---

Jif was back on the shelves at our store last Sunday. Bought another brand for some reason. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > We Skippy feeders, the more enlightened here, so far are safe from salmonella. 🙂 Yeah, I’ve eaten Skippy all my life. My mom or dad got Jif once, and I didn’t like it. Greasier and sweeter. Found out recently that Jif has more sugar than Skippy, so I’ll continue to stick with Skippy. I only like noticeably sweet peanut butter if it’s in candy (like Reece’s). Otherwise, I like it with almost no sweetness…if I want any of that, I’ll make a PB&J and get the sweet from the jam (or something similar). ---

As I stated above, I used the website to check the unopened jar we had. Yes, it was recalled. It took the people at Smuckers quite a while to make it right, but in today’s mail I got 2 coupons good for up to $7 off any Jif product, and 11 coupons good for up to $3.50 off any Jif product. All are good to 6/30/2023. We like peanut butter, but there’s only the 2 of us. It looks like our local food pantry will be getting a few jars of Jif.
