I live in Canada and I buy “Just Peanuts” store brand peanut butter from Loblaws stores and its’ affiliates. It contains just peanuts, no salt, no oils and no sugars and it is GOOD and you are right, about a buck more than the regular peanut butter. We can also grow peanuts here in Canada and one can buy freshly ground local peanut butter at shops that sell Ontario peanuts in Ontario, unfortunately, they don’t make crunchy, my preference, so no sale here.
When I lived in Germany for a year back in the 70s, I couldn’t find peanut butter in the shops there so I would visit the USA PX and buy my peanut butter in large containers there. Boy was it cheap, the only problem was every time I visited a relative, the kids would ask me to leave the peanut butter behind.
I worked in Tanzania a year ago and you can buy peanut butter from just peanuts there as well. It is a good substitute for meat.

:/ Jif is so horrible. Taste sobad when compared to ‘natural’ peanut butter with hydrogenated oils.

Andthe one commented talked about the oils because they are bad for us. Really, really, bad. Most the time this is what causes trans fat to be in cheap foods. I don’t think most people care, though. xD

One more thing! There is a shop in Greenwich Village in New York City that is called “Peanut Butter and Company” that sells only peanut butter sandwiches, dishes and desserts as well as their proprietary brand of peanut butter including blends like “Spicy PB” and “Chocolate PB.” It’s very fun and probably one of the only shops of its kind in the United States.

Trader Joe’s food markets sell “Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter” made from unblanched peanuts. The only ingredients are dry roasted peanuts (and salt in the salted variety). They sell unsalted creamy, unsalted chunky, salted creamy and unsalted creamy. The salted varieties are a bit more flavourful but this is an all-natural product that is delicious.

Peanut butter is a vital source of protein for many third world countries and many people in North America love it. In Europe, it’s not very popular and when I lived in Denmark, my friends and co-worked discussed the awful reactions they had when they first tasted peanut butter and its semblance to “cement.” Europeans prefer Nutella which is delicious WITH peanut butter on bread or even fruit.

Smooth peanut butter tastes good with the nutella-like spread from CostPlus (a little less sweet and creamier than Nutella), on bread.

Peanut butter mixed with honey also tastes good over bread. I like to put it on banana nut bread.
