Mrs Mungo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 http://www.cnbc.com/id/101930308 Following poor weather in Turkey, prices of hazelnuts have spiked more than 60 percent—unwelcome news for chocolate hazelnut spread Nutella, which uses about a fourth of the global hazelnut supply.

JonesinIndiana Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ohhhhh, that's bad news! Better stock up. With coupons I can get it for $2 a jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hmm...does it freeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hmm...does it freeze? I bet it does... but I think unopened it should last a good long time on the shelf too. It's got a lot of sugar, which is a preservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Whew! One of the benefits of not being a chocoholic is that I won't notice the lack of Nutella in stores. Sorry for the rest of you! Now if this was about coffee . . . then I'd be really really really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Whew! It is only rising prices. When I read the subject line, I thought it might be salmonella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um_2_4 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 *makes note to stock up on the big jars next week* :glare: This is one of the things DD8 will eat with her sensory issues...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Stocking up...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I miss living in Australia where you could buy a large jar of the generic stuff for about $1 (equivalent US price) By the time we moved back, my kids were in love with the stuff and it's over $5 a jar here. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No worries here. That stuff is nasty. Just spread a jar of frosting on your toast, it's not as sickly sweet as Nutella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Need to stock up, I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I guess I'll know I live close to some other WTM gals if I go to Costco tomorrow and the Nutella shelves are bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The large jars around here seem to be about 2 liters (I'm sure it's sold by the Kg, but pretty sure most people understand the dimension of a 2 liter bottle better than imagining an 8-10kg jug) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
