Prices are expected to start increasing immediately, so buy what you can, while you can.
A drought in the southern U.S. is creating a shortage for peanuts, dramatically driving up the price almost 300 percent in the last year, from $450 a ton to nearly $1,200 a ton.
That translates to higher peanut butter prices.
Jif brand will hike prices up to grocers 30 percent in November, while others say it could be as much as 40 percent. Grocers will then pass the increase on to consumers.

We always get one jar of Adams Peanut Butter a year. My wife loves it for a late night snack.
Buy two, it might be worth it. :o
Instapundit was just writing about this today. Amazon apparently has a sale on peanut butter. I'm going to have the Duchess order a bunch.

Those are pretty good prices, though I prefer the natural brands, but if I'm hungry?
Hell I'd eat the shell as well.
