Sainsburys Basics Crunchy Peanut Butter Description: Manufacturer: Sainsbury's / Type: Spread. For those who haven't read my earlier reviews, let me begin by explaining my feelings on the supermarkets no frills ranges which are becoming more and more common and expanding all the time. I really like the fact that I can save money by not paying for fancy packaging which just goes in the bin anyway and have recently become a convert to this excellent way of saving cash. I have tried heaps of different things from the Sainsbury's Basics range and for the most part, have been really pleased by the quality. Of course there have been a ...  Read the complete review

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 Sainsburys basic 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.

Sainsbury's Basic Crunchy Peanut Butter Since moving to central Edinburgh, our nearest supermarket has become Sainsbury's. We are a good long 50 minute walk from the large store and 10 minutes from a smaller one, so we can generally get most of what we need between these.

Great to get a swoop of cheap bread late at night to spread this peanut butter on! Peanut Butter goes so quickly in our house that we decided to see if we could save ...  Read the complete review

Review of Sainsbury's Basics Crunchy Peanut butter. **SAINSBURY'S BASICS CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER**. The Product I have to admit that I am addicted to peanut butter, it is something that I eat daily or I develop withdrawal symptoms. Peanut butter is one of those love it or loathe it foods and I am definitely in the love it category. As a vegetarian, I kid myself that the calorie intake of my large consumption of peanut butter is offset by the protein content....... Well, I did say I kid myself! I particularly enjoy my peanut butter on toast, when accompanied by a slice of cheese and an apple this makes a really ...  Read the complete review

***Why did I buy it? How much?*** Well as a house of non-meat eaters we tend to supplement our diet with a variety of alternative protein sources such as Pulses (chickpeas/lentils etc), tofu, mycoprotein, eggs, dairy and last but not least nuts. When it comes to peanut butter I see it as a treat as well as a staple and my view when it comes to food is that provided everything is in balance you won't have issues (unless you're allergic that is). I have tried many brands of peanut butter including Skippys (expensive >£2 and meh), Sun-Pat (far too sweet), Make-your-own pb where you grind the nuts with the skins on within the store (far too bland with a ...  Read the complete review
