individual packets of peanut butter.

ok so i definetely love peanut butter, but definetely suck at measuring out exactly 1 tbsp and suck even more at portion control.

can anybody tell me where i can buy individual packets of peanut butter, ones that only contain 1-2 tbsps? you know - like, the individual packets of peanut butter, butter and jam they have in restuarants like denny's or something to spread on toast or whatever?

pleeeease? thanks.

most us grocery store chains carry the Jif two serving packs, some places still carry the peanut butter in a tube, but to get the individual packets like you are talking about you will need to go to a place like Sams, Costco, BJs, Costplus, etc or a restaurant supply house.

If you want the individual packets, you can order from smuckers.com 200 of them for $50 which is .25 each.  Also some hiking store carry individual foil packs of peanut butter.   

You can get 100 calorie or 200 calorie packets of good, organic peanut butter from this company. They also have cinnamon or honey flavored peanut butter, and several almond butters.

I had similar problems, but now I use my food scale. I'm sure the individual packs are really expensive. Just take the lid off of your peanut butter and put it on the scale, and then while you scoop it out watch the numbers go down until it's a serving or half a serving, whatever you want. If you over-scoop you can plunk some back in.

The best part of doing it this way is that you don't feel cheated like when you use a measuring spoon and don't get to eat the parts that stay stuck in the spoon. When you use a knife you can wipe every last molecule on your toast or apple or whatever.

four, but i don't touch the other three. yeah, i know, i'm a loser haha! one of them (t_rexia) got banned/deactivated, and i forgot the password to my first one.

i think back when i was going through the strongest parts of my ed, i'd binge, and then want to start my whole life over completely (usernames, everything).. but now that that's mostly over, i know that i can't just "start over" everyday of my life. soo the username i have now is here to stay :)

Well, it's interesting that Smuckers sells individual serves of jam and peanut butter... I never would have thought of looking there! I know Costco has boxes of single serve stuff, but BJs doesn't.

hahah i used to steal them from my caf.

how about buying like packets from dollerama and making them on your own?

it'll save you a lot of money, and you can always re fill them when youre done. Make sure to make them when youre not hungry
