Stockpile peanut butter soon -- prices are going up!

Have you heard that peanut butter prices are set to skyrocket starting early next month?  As in to the tune of 24% for Peter Pan and 30% for Jif, according to WSJ's article on the subject.  Yowzers!  A price jump right before the holiday baking season.  Watch for stores to start raising prices soon and be sure to grab a few extra jars before the price increase goes into effect.

Are you brand loyal when it comes to peanut butter?  My family prefers Jif and I think I'll be looking into stocking up soon and hoping for a good sale and coupons.
