but once you run out of the good PB you still have to eat the ones along the trail!

An idea for those of you with access to CO-OPs or nice health food 
stores, save up your plastic jars like Lollygag mentioned but instead of 
buying pre-jarred almond or peanut butter to transfer, go to one of 
these stores that actually has a nut grinder and grind your nut butter 
fresh and in bulk straight into your saved containers. That way you pay 
less than a prepackaged butter would cost, you save the wasted jars, and 
you get nothing in your butter but the nuts themselves. I grew up on 
this stuff and have a really hard time enjoying JIF and its fellows 
because of it. I've also found that the squeezable chocolate syrup 
bottles make for good containers if the butter isn't too stiff. Another 
spread I haven't seen mentioned on the list that I love to take is 
Nutella or a good generic version of it.
>> Justin's are good, but they are made from roasted nuts which are not as healthy as RAW nut butter...raw almond butter being way healthier than raw peanut butter.  Picky about what I eat, I send nearly all my food and I don't want to pay more for less.  I've been saving my empty Trader Joe's plastic peanut butter jars as their almond butter comes in glass.  Once the appetite kicks in, a 16oz capacity is not overkill.
