I've heard a little about the PB2 peanut butter on here -- and it seems like all of the comments have been positive. I'm wondering for those of you who use it, how do you buy it? When I looked on the website, it looks like it will cost more to ship it than to buy it ($15.95 to ship). Any ideas?

We have a local sports nutrition place that carries it here in North TX. I meant to get by there today to get some. I have heard great things about it!

What's the name of the store? Maybe I'll have better luck buying it from a nutrition store.

I was able to find it at Jewel, some have it in the organic section, some keep it with the regular peanut butter. I know I've also seen it at Trader Joe's.

I lied :) I just bought Better n' Peanut Butter, I know Trader Joe's has "Peanut Flour", which I've heard is similar.

Cheryl I'm wondering if the calorie count and protein of the one you bought is similar to the PB2.

I got mine at the grocery store

Better n peanut butter has 55 more calories per serving and one less gram of protein. I'm still struggling with getting food down, so the extra calories are good for me (at least for now)

Thanks for giving me the nutrition details. I'm going to do a little more research.

Did you try amazon.com .. I got mine from there and I don't think the sgiiping was horrible.

I, too, got mine on Amazon. I'm a Prime member so shipping is free for me but if I recall correctly, the first jar I got was before I was a prime member and the shipping was only $6 and change. I LOVE the chocolate one!

Amazon.com it is! I ordered! Shipping is still too much, I think, but much better than on the PB2 site. Thanks for your help!
