I am a huge fan of peanut butter and eat the stuff like its going out of style, but have been eyeing the Almond butter for the past couple of weeks, wondering. Maybe I should just stop wondering and buy a jar, but holy hell that stuff is expensive. -------------- Lift. Eat. Rest. Gain. ~Brad~

I know bb1fit likes it, I'd just like a second opinion. How expensive is it? I bought some soy nut butter and it was 5 dollars a jar. DX

Most places i go usually don't have it in stock because it sells out quite quickly so i usually try to go when they get there shipments in. it tastes just like a bunch of almonds crunched up. just imagine chewing a mouthfull of almonds.
