This is some serious tightwaddy, folks.
Yesterday I threw away a peanut butter jar with likely a teaspoon or two left clinging to the inside of the jar.
I wish I had seen this post first!
How to use up the last bit of peanut butter in the jar
I LOVE the Asian peanut dressing idea! How genius. And after you mix it up, you can simply throw away the container – no washing.
In The Tightwad Gazette, I picked up this tip for jelly jars: pour a bit of milk into the empty jelly jar, screw the lid on tightly, and shake vigorously. You now have flavored milk that will make a child very happy. Or, pour it into a popsicle mold. Or, pour into the blender for the base of a smoothie.

Great ideas for using up the peanut butter! I’ll have to keep them in mind. My husband is a peanut butter freak!

This is brilliant thinking! I buy a nut butter that is quite expensive and truly detest losing even a teaspoonful at the bottom of the jar. Can’t wait to get to the bottom and start experimenting with these ideas.
