There was a nearly-empty Sunflower Seed Butter jar just calling my name from the cupboard this morning…
Is it sad how excited I get when this happens?
It’s fiiiiiiiine.
You can say yes.
I depend on the happiness of a nearly-empty jar to off-set the sadness of a nearly-empty jar.
Don’t question it, it makes sense.
Now my only problem is saving up enough money to buy another one of these jars.
Apparently food prices have gone up – because my once $2.99 jar of Sunflower Seed Butter is now anywhere from $5-$7!
It’s a tragedy.
Into what may be my last jar for a while went:
- 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s rolled oats
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 5 sliced strawberries
- 1/3 cup water
Plain and simple.
Coffee on the side:
Happy Thursday!

I agree I am sad when my PB runs out but happy so I can make overnight oats in a jar!
Haha exactly! 🙂 It’s always a bittersweet time!
Ohhhh… that is a sad happy. I did that with a Nutella jar recently. It’s probably a good thing it doesn’t happen every day. 🙂
Oh MY gosh. That is just GENIUS! But yeah, haha. Probably a good thing…
I heard that TJ’s increased the price of their sunbutter. Must have seen the HUGE demand. Damn that economy. 🙁
I know – it really sucks!
Isn’t it ridiculous how everything is so expensive now? I usually buy my peanut or almond butter from the bulk section and it’s a lot cheaper. The other day, when the machine was broken, I bought the Maranatha AB and was shocked at how expensive it was. 🙁
It really is getting upsetting! I can barely get out of the grocery store for under $60 now. I used to be able to get a full week’s worth of food for that much!
I totally feel your pain/joy. I found myself thinking yesterday morning when I had oats in an almost-empty almond butter jar that my high of the day was going to be OIAJ and my low of the day was going to be not having a jar of almond butter in the house. Such mixed emotions!
Haha exactly!! I’m so glad you understand 🙂
I make my own AB every week or two in small batches so that I can 1) keep the cost down and 2) so that I have empty jars more frequently for OIAJ!
Love that idea! I need to start doing that with sunflower seed butter!
i have to try sunflower seed butter, but everytime i go to whole foods, it’s so freakin’ expensive. i have to check out TJ’s for this stuff. Everyone says it is amazing.
