Right, so Amazon sells peanut butter now
Yeah, I was surprised too. Amazon's own-brand grocery range has been quietly expanding, and this 340g jar of crunchy peanut butter is one of those products that sneaks onto HotUKDeals and suddenly has 773 degrees of heat before you've even noticed. That kind of community traction is worth paying attention to, even if it doesn't guarantee anything.
For context, 340g isn't massive. It's about the size of a standard Meridian or Whole Earth jar. If you're the sort of person who has peanut butter on toast every morning, this lasts you maybe two weeks. For a one-off try, though, the price point makes it basically a no-brainer.
What you're actually getting
Honestly, with own-brand peanut butter, the question is always: is it oily, gritty, or weirdly sweet? The crunchy variety tends to hide a multitude of sins better than smooth, because you expect a bit of texture variation anyway. No fancy palm-oil-free credentials listed here, so if that matters to you, check the label before you commit.
This is not for the peanut butter purist who orders from a small-batch roaster. It's for the person who goes through a jar a week on sandwiches, stirred into porridge, or straight off the spoon at 11pm. You know who you are.
One honest reservation
The jar size is a bit small for a household staple. If you're actually getting through it regularly, you'll want to grab a couple. Stock moves fast on deals like this, so don't sit on it too long.
