The per 100g price makes it seem like the 1kg (bottom) item is cheaper than the 2kg one.

I wonder how many people are baited into getting the more expensive item (by weight).

How are you going to pass on one called great value? Would be like buying something that doesn't have the word best in it when another product does. I'm not dumb.

Not sure if you're Canadian, but we have a brand called "President's Choice"... oh god.

The great value peanut butter has a weird taste, in my opinion. it's worth a few bucks more to get something that tastes better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

But that's no excuse for the wrong per 100g price listed, is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was actually looking for 100% peanut butter, but this discrepancy caught my eye, and it really bothered me because I almost always ignore the product price and compare items by unit price. Now I'm second guessing everything they list!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are routinely wrong. And sometimes they list (in the US) things by unit instead of weight. I have reported many wrong listings like this. Always double check any label/listing because people are lazy at so many companies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The worst is mixed units for the same items.

With must items I buy on a regular basis, I'm able to make quick comparisons off the top of my head, but it would be nice if things were accurate!

Ah fuck, I've forgotten how to do basic math

I'm stuck trying to figure out how many linear feet there are per gram.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

They did. It's intentional.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I'd imagine not many. I don't know anyone who says "I need (x of weight) worth of peanut butter!" And then uses the weight as the measurement.

Everyone I know says "I need peanut butter. Oh, $6.97 is less than $8.27" and never checks the weight.

If you're shopping by weight, you're probably not getting either of these. You're getting those massive jars that are like 15lbs, and come in almost mini barrels.

Also, unrelated, but WHY are you getting creamy when EXTRA CRUNCHY exists?

If you’re shopping by weight, you’re probably not getting either of these. You’re getting those massive jars that are like 15lbs, and come in almost mini barrels.

I tend to buy the max size that my family can reasonably eat before the item goes bad. 2kg is the largest size at this store, but I think anything larger would just be impractical, and I KNOW FOR 10000% FACT that my wife would just drop something heavier on the ground. LOL

Also, unrelated, but WHY are you getting creamy when EXTRA CRUNCHY exists?

I was looking for 100% peanuts in the crunchy variety!

Does peanut butter even go bad? I've never seen moldy peanut butter....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

We usually get 100% peanuts, which can go... Dry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I assume the taste will probably just become increasingly more rancid long before pure (and bacterially uncontaminated) 100% PB goes dangerously bad, if ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

When it come to peanut butter I only get the small jars. I have a rule that once the knife touches the bread it doesn't go back into the jar, my wife doesn't follow this rule so we would end up with a jar the size of my head just sitting there becaused it's filled with old bread bits and no one would buy more because "we already have some".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Crunchy is just creamy that failed. I'm not paying the same price if you can't do it right. now maybe if it was cheaper ...
