Groceries With Surprisingly Long Shelf Lives

Nut butter is a pantry staple for many Americans that pairs perfectly as a dip with an apple or can be spread on a sandwich better than mom used to make. But, depending on the brand and any additives, nut butter can be pricey, especially if you're shopping on a budget. Instead of splurging on pre-made varieties, make the nut butter yourself. 

The next time you're craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, choose your favorite nut and make the nut butter yourself. Simply add your favorite nut — peanuts, cashews, almonds or walnuts are just a few you can choose from — to your food processor and enjoy freshly made nut butter. Really, it's that easy.
