This week's item

We'll be getting peanut butter this week. Peanut butter is such a great item to have on hand.  Not only is it something that most people like (including kids!), it's very filling and just brimming with protein. These kinds of food can be hard to come by in times when food is scarce.

The experts have said that in times of hardship and emergency sweets can be very comforting (I think they're comforting any time!) So peanut butter is the perfect solution.

My kids eat lots of PB&J sanwiches, plus they like it on their waffles and pancakes too (gross!) so we go through a lot of the stuff.  Keep your storage and monetary situation in mind when you decide how much to buy, but I really think it's an important item to have on hand.

If you have peanut allergies you have a couple of choices: you can either buy some to have on hand anyway (maybe if things get really bad you'll be able to barter it.  Not to freak you out, but hey, there's always that possibility.)  Or you can substitute a different item: tuna fish? jelly? syrup?  Or you can just take a week off!
