6. Great Value Peanut Butter
I bet you ate plenty of products from Great Value under the Walmart signature. And that’s fine; I did that too. But the thing is, even if they’re very affordable compared to other brand-name products, they’re not so nutritional. This time, I will talk about one of the worst peanut butter brands.
This brand is the epitome of the worst peanut butter ever created. Extra sweetened? Verify. Hydrogenated fats? Yes. Salt? That too. It is a reasonable substitute, costing less than $2.00 for 16 ounces, but is it a fantastic value? Not so much.
With so many bad peanut butter brands mentioned here, you’re probably wondering which ones are the best, according to nutritionists. Well, I got you! Besides being a super easy food to eat on the go, as a snack, or even for a fulfilling breakfast, high-quality peanut butter should also be a great source of protein and healthy fats and be low in sugar and salt.
One of the best recommendations is NAKED Organic Peanut Butter and NAKED CRUNCH Organic Peanut Butter (2-pack combo). It doesn’t contain sugar or salt; it’s gluten-free, and for 2 tablespoons, you will get 7 grams of protein. Order yours from Amazon by clicking on the link.

Ok, so what are the good peanut butters????????????
Just check labeling to make sure your peanut butter has only “Roasted peanuts”. You’ll be surprised by how few on the grocery shelf fit that criteria.
I think Peter Pan, Skippy and Jif Peanut butter are the best. They few peanut butter out there, not as popular, but just ask good. Do your diligence search.
My favorite is Peter Pan Honey Roasted Crunchy peanut butter. I’m relieved I didn’t see it on this list
That’s what I want to know!
Smuckers natural two ingredients peanuts and salt.

In the Philippines, where I grabbed an early retirement, you will likely never find many products labeled “organic” except some fresh produce in one corner of the produce department. We have some of the popular US brands of peanut butter on the shelf and sadly, locals often think “imported is better.” We found locally produced peanut butter in various sizes that has great flavour and yes, a shorter shelf life because it has no extra additives in the mix. This is NOT a product you purchase and twenty (20)years later, it is still there waiting for you in the back of the cupboard! You will not escape some salt and sugar, Filipinos love sweet things and sugar is a big industry here. Still, it is a great pleasure to open a new container, stir in the peanut oil and have at it. A few locals have turned peanut butter making into a cottage industry, we purchase what we can whenever we find it.
Hi, Jack.
Glad you were able to retire in PI. I’m sure that things have changed drastically since my last time there in the 90’s. I definitely am sure there is no Olongapo. We called Subic Bay our home port instead of Yokosuka when I was on the MIDWAY. I always know if we wanted food from the stores then we never had a man issue buying what we wanted and it was always great. And, I certainly understand why Filipinos live longer than Americans bc of the lower amount of preservatives which are not needed and it is killing us. I battling cancer right now and I’m sure diet has some influence on this. I know that I would seek out canned products, especially peanut butter instead of imported there. Enjoy retirement and bet you are living pretty comfortably. I remember in the late 70’s or early 80’s when the peso was 20:1 and a buck would go a long way. Good luck and happy living. Enjoy. San Miguel for me.
“Adams” brand is Best!!
if Peanut butter oils have raised to the top of the jar before opening, is it still good if you stir?
Seller claims this is a normal occurence and states it on the top of the jar. Brand is Presidents Choice.
just wait until RFK Jr, comes for everyone’s sugary sweet cereal and their diet mountain Dew artificial sweeteners. Better yet wait and see how much lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers will cost for your fresh salad after tRump deports all the migrant labor that usually picks the nations fruit and veggies.
I agree with you! I’M waiting for the MAGA trumpateers to see what they have done!!
I agree with you totally. They slowed the immigration and the farmers didn’t have anyone to harvest their crops. Damn right economics goes up. Just like trumpsters complain about gas and his snswer is drill=he has stock/deal with prince of Saudia Arabia. At least Obama had us using OUR OWN stash, which meant the gas was cheaper. Truth is we are caught in the spider’s web!!
my name is Paul. I am still very healthy and not ever had problem with peanut butter yet. I am 74 years old. Skippy happens to be my favorite brand.
I go to Big Y. Before Covid they had a station where you could grind own nut butters. Can’t get any better than that. Now they do the grinding and date when it was ground.
Justin’s nut butter is some of the best. Also Barney butter, they make almond that is completely peanut free and now in another factory they make peanut butter also
