Skippy Natural and no stirring required! But it has palm oil and sugar. Ingredients: ROASTED PEANUTS, SUGAR, PALM OIL, SALT.

Mtnrd, can you add a tad of salt when you grind it at the store?

Trader Joe's...nothing but peanuts and salt (or not if you buy the unsalted), but you do have to stir it.

Hi Bpath,

I suppose you could add salt when you got it home, and stir it in? I like salt but I don't add it in, it never occurred to me. I know some people prefer to grind the honey roasted nuts, which have some salt (and sugar) before grinding.

You could also salt it after you spread it? It is not as smooth as the Smucker's, but I really like it.

ETA ... have you tried almond butter? YUm

Trader Joe’s. Either creamy or crunchy, salted or no salt. Just peanuts and salt if you like. You have to stir the first time. Tried Jif a while back and it tastes awful to me.

Curious do you flip your Smuckers pb after you get it home? That’s the brand and type we buy. If you haven’t tried it, I always store ours upside down and it’s much easier and faster to stir when it’s time to open.

I always store my new, unopened jars of pb upside down until it's time to stir them. Then they go in the fridge, because no emulsifiers, stabilizers, and whatever else it needs to live on the shelf after being opened.

I store my natural pb upside down until I open it, then upside down in the refer. No stirring needed.

Yikes, I’m sitting here wondering why I never put our pb in the fridge. ... I keep nuts in the refrigerator.

If you have a food processor, you can make your own peanut butter. Just throw the peanuts in let it run. My cuisinart will “walk” when I make PB, so I stay near by.

if I don’t make it, Teddy brand is the best. TJ’s is second best. Smuckers is in third place.

Yes, store upside down.

We buy Justin’s PB. Two ingredients, no stirring needed.

Any “no stir” nut butter that I’ve run across contains the controversial ingredient palm oil to prevent separation - this includes Justin’s. I haven’t tried this gadget (I don’t mind stirring) but Jimmy Kimmel is a fan...

I didn’t think about the palm oil as the emulsifier (is that the right word?) I might be doomed to a life of stirring. I’ve seen that device but it looks like it will still spill a bit and have to be washed lol.

I hadn’t thought to try Trader Joe, it’s not on my normal route so I only pop in for some jarred sauces we like when I’m in the neighborhood.

I do store my new jar of PB upside down, but I’m not the only one in the household, kwim? I ioen the cupboard and it has mysteriously flipped upright overnight.

Local, I guess I could make it myself! Or I’ll look for Teddy, where do you buy that?

Aldi also has two-ingredient organic peanut butter, FWIW.

I buy Old Home brand In the refrigerated section. Just peanuts and salt. We store in the fridge and it doesn’t separate. I avoid anything with palm oil (and coconut oil) because of the saturated fat.

I like the Simple Truth brand from Kroger. I buy the no stir creamy type for the kids, but DH likes the crunchy that needs to be stirred.

BP - it's really easy to make, you just have to remember to buy peanuts!

I have always been able to buy Teddie Peanut Butter at my regular supermarket, and this is true for when I lived in NYC area and now, in Maine. The embedded link to Teddie above has a where can I buy locator. It also says that they are a sponsor of Best Buddies, a great organization - go Teddie!!

You can buy it on Amazon too(but shipping contributes to global warming so please shop locally when possible) :)

Thanks for the link, localeater! Turns out Teddie is sold a mere 30 miles away from me...I don’t think I’ll be headed that way anytime soon, though. And it‘s at my son’s old university town, but he graduated already so not going back there anytime soon, either. But, I might be heading to Cleveland and will definitely look for it while I’m there. And I’ve been known to bring a product to the manager of my local 4-store grocery and say “order this, don’t make me drive to Whole Foods in the next town to buy it.”

Love their missions, too (my DBIL is mentally handicapped).

Here’s A funny thing: my friend’s husband and daughter both work for Kraft Foods, but when we go to Canada they ask me to bring back Kraft PB, because it isn’t sold here!

"You can buy it on Amazon too(but shipping contributes to global warming so please shop locally when possible) :)" FYI, items are delivered to your local stores in big, diesel, semi-trucks, or smaller delivery vans. Items are delivered to Amazon distribution centers in big, diesel, semi-trucks, and delivered to you in smaller vans, etc. . I think it's great to support local businesses, but things don't magically appear on shelves and racks in their stores. I'm not a huge fan of Amazon , but I don't think shopping locally is helping the environment.

Now I’m just sitting here wondering if my teenage children are doomed bc they grew up eating a diet chock full of Jif! :) And here I thought I was being a “choosy mom,” lol!

Sunbutter from sunflower seeds is very smooth and creamy too. They make a no sugar one that is only seeds and salt. It's great on an English muffin.

Trader Joe's Organic Salted Creamy fan here.

I store the unopened jars upside down, to make the stirring a bit easier, but I noticed their peanut butters don't seem to sit on their store shelves for too long, so they're not as settled as the natural ones in other stores.

And once it's stirred, I keep it in the fridge so it doesn't separate. It doesn't get too hard to spread.

Once Again makes an American Classic style that doesn't need stirring. It has that slightly sweet taste like Jif, et al. too. Comes in both creamy and crunchy:

Unfortunately, for those of us trying to make healthier choices, The Once Again brand shown above has Palm Oil, Sugar and Salt added.

As a rule, we don't keep peanut butter on hand but I recently tried a new recipe which called for it. Purchased Kirkland's brand at Costco. Just peanuts and sea salt. After stirring I placed it in the fridge. Made the same recipe again today and stirring wasn't necessary.

Well, I can't help with the peanut butter, because if I bought ANYTHING other than Jiff creamy my husband would divorce me. I do like the stirrer elunia posted, because I buy Sunbutter for my grandson that is allergic to peanuts and it settles. It does help to turn it upside down as others have said.

olychick, I don't understand the need to add sugar! We don't even like applesauce with added sugar. Not that I have anything against sugar -- cookies, candy, heck I love to practically mainline sugar by eating marshmallows -- but I don't understand adding it where it isn't necessary.

I do turn the PB upside down in the pantry, until we open, stir, and refrigerate, it's just a bother to stir. And DH has been known to just pour off the oil instead of stir (aaaargh.)
