Asda Smartprice Peanut Butter

I sometimes work long hours and I have times when I just can't be bothered or when I want something nice and satisfying for breakfast on these cold wintry mornings. I usually have a variety of spreads in the cupboard and peanut butter is always one of these. Over the years I have tried a huge variety and I generally find them all to be of a similar quality. This Asda Smartprice peanut butter is provided in a glass jar with a screw top lid and everything about this product shows you that they are making cost savings hence the cheaper price. The label shows the usual information such as ingredients, nutritional information etc and just all the usual stuff you ...  Read the complete review

I like the odd bit of Peanut Butter on toast. It is just so much nicer then spread on Warm Bread where it melts slightly, but is still a bit gooey. On a Sandwich it is still nice, but I guess we all have our preferences. I always bought the brand name version which is Sunpat. I thought the price of it at £1.30 per jar wasn't that bad, but I would only use about a third of the jar, and then decide to throw it out as it had been open for a while, and i'm a bit funny like that. I found this while at Asda the other week, and decided that it was worth shelling out 69p for the 340g jar. I've been trying more budget brands recently. Not because I have to save money, ...  Read the complete review

There are many variations on the internet about who invented peanut butter and why they did; personally that doesn't interest me as much as eating it on toast and using it to make Satay Sauce. We've always had a jar of this in the cupboard and is a regular on the monthly shopping bill. At one time we used to buy Asda's version of Crunchy Peanut Butter, however I took over doing the shopping and noticed that Asda do a value version. Intrigued, I had a look at the jar and compared the value to the normal brand they do and was impressed....all the ingredients were the same. #-#-# The Jar #-#-# The glass jar is a clear stout affair with a ...  Read the complete review

Now at first glances, you will be forgiven for thinking that Asda smart price crunchy peanut butter is just another cheap and nasty budget product, with its distinctive red and white labelling and uninspiring pictures. The phrase 'never judge a book by its cover' has never been so true when it comes to this particular product, but if you can see past the flashy cheapskate label you will be in for a treat. At just 69p for 340g it seems too good to be true and in my opinion it doesn't taste any different to the more expensive brands, after all it only has 5 ingredients and the main one is obviously peanuts making up 87% of the product. How hard can it be to mess ...  Read the complete review

Andrew loves peanut butter and I enjoy it from time to time although I try not to have it too often due to the fact that it's loaded with calories. When I do buy it I will usually go for this Smartprice Peanut butter from Asda. The peanut butter costs 69p for a 340g glass jar. When you unscrew the lid there is a white 'peel back' lid which comes away very easily and you are met with a tanned mixture. I would say that the peanut butter is slightly darker than your average 'Sunpat' and you can see little specks of nuts here and there. The peanut butter smells very strongly and it is very clear that this pot hasn't 'scrimped' on the peanuts. At this ...  Read the complete review
