I haven’t tried peanut butter for sticky price tags. Thanks!
Wish they put a little less sticky on those price tags, but glad there is a solution.
Never knew there was so many ways to use peanut butter!! Pretty cool list.
Thanks much.
I just adopted an new dog so I will definitely try the dog treats tip.
I have been stirring a tsp or 2 into my Bob’s Red Mill 7 grain hot cereal along with a little honey – it is really good. I love peanut butter – I make green smoothies that have peanut butter or almond butter a lot too.
Great suggestions for more uses for peanut butter.
