How much is an appropriate amount?

How much peanut butter should be left in the jar before it’s left on the counter to signify, “we’re almost out” or just tossed in the trash? I pulled this jar of Jiff Extra Crunchy out of the cupboard to find that Kurt left this much:

Crunchy peanut better

It’s not even enough to very lightly cover a half a slice of small bread. At least we still have the creamy peanut butter, which in the house is generally considered only suitable for a diaper.

  1. Using the red spatula, you can easily can one or two more pieces of toast from that. 18 years of throwing away that much peanut butter could pay for Sophia’s college education!

  2. That happens in my house too. :)
