    Kirkland we have a problem...

    I put peanut butter on the list and SWMBO picked up Adams today at Costco. Not acceptable! Costco has made a serious error in judgement if I can't find the retail replacement.

    Kirkland peanut butter is THE BEST peanut butter and Costco is no longer carrying it? Seriously? It's roasted darker than the others and has deeper flavor. Peanut butter people know what I am talking about. Right now I'm not a Happy Camper and I used to live in Happy Camp!

    However I suspect Kirkland is Laura Scudders. I need confirmation or direction from those that know...

    I like Adams. The others I have tried are way too sweet.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Hey:

    I like Adams too, if Kirkland (or Laura Scudders?) isn't available. But I like the depth of the darker roast!

    Ah, I miss peanut butter. Not allowed any more.

    Used to eat peanut butter and salsa on a Ritz cracker. MM, MM, MM!

    In between the pickles and ice cream, right?
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    Get the food processor out and make your own. You might need to roast the nuts a little more to get the flavor you like.

    Not a big peanut butter fan but once in a while ill visit an organic/natural food store and pick up all natural pb or cashew butter. You have to mix it up but tastes great to me

    That happens to me to. I think its the oil in it? Between Peanut Butter, Coffee and anything with tomatoes, I have to be careful or have an antacid.

    That seems odd, since Kirkland is Costco's house brand. That's like Walmart discontinuing Great Value peanut butter.
