I was listening to the news about this year's peanut crop and decided to do a little more investigating. Here's a link explaining why the prices are going to go sky high; as much as 30% by November. Any product containing peanuts, including packaged cookies and candy, are going to go up :-(
You can stock up on items like bulk peanuts, cookies, and candy which can be frozen to use throughout the coming year. Items like peanut butter will be good to go on your shelf or in the refrigerator until the expiration date.

Wow, good to know because we eat a lot of peanut butter! I heard that chocolate and coffee are going to go up but you are the best one to research that, Deeli.

Thank you for passing this along. I am going to stock up on peanut butter, and I like have peanuts in the shell, unsalted, for the squirrels over the winter. I'll buy a couple of bags of those. This is a good example of people in the TF community taking care of each other, and I appreciate it!
