It has been repeatedly reported that peanut butter prices are on the rise. The extremely dry, hot summer left peanut crops decimated. The worst crop in 30 years, actually. That may not affect you if you have, say, peanut allergies…. or dislike peanut butter (do such people exist??). In families like mine, however… this is some seriously concerning news.

What’s a shopper to do?

Stock up on peanut butter at HyVee.

Through Tuesday you can get Skippy peanut butter for $1.99/ea. There is also a coupon in their weekly flyer for $5 off of a $15 purchase of specific items, including Skippy.

You can also find a printable coupon for $0.60/2 Skippy peanut butters HERE.

Buy 8 Skippy Peanut Butter @ $1.99/ea = $15.93

Use 4 $0.60/2 Printable Coupons (You will need access to several computers to print) = -$2.40

Use 1 $5/$15 HyVee Coupon = -$5

Total = $8.52/8 or $1.07/ea

It gets better: There is a $1/Your Next Order Catalina that is printing at some HyVees when you purchase 2 Skippy Natural peanut butters. You will need to check with your HyVee to see if they are participating in the Catalina print, I know that the 6th and Monterrey IS printing the catalina.

With the above purchase, you would receive 4 $1/Off Your Next Order catalinas. You can roll those into another purchase of 8 jars of peanut butter in the same scenario, this time you can also use the $4 worth of catalinas. Now your total for 8 jars of Skippy Natural peanut butter is $4.52 PLUS an additional $4 in catalinas from this purchase.

In two transactions you can purchase 16 jars of peanut butter for $0.82/ea and $4 left for your next purchase.
