WalMart changed their recipe, and now I need to find somewhere else to buy Crunchy Peanut Butter.?

Question

The recipe for Great Value Crunchy Peanut Butter has changed, and it's messing me up.  I'd like to find a grocer who is still using their previous co-packer so my Christmas Cookie recipes will still work. The new recipe has significantly more fat and sugar in the peanut butter, and no longer has a deep peanut taste.
Albertson's used to have the same product in their private label brand, but they and Food Lion have left the state (Florida). Any help in finding some of the original good stuff would be appreciated.

Never Mind.  Went to Target today and they use the same manufacturer that used to supply WalMart and probably still supplies Albertson's.

Wal-Mart's peanut butter used to be made by ConAgra, basically it's Peter Pan.

Don't know if the recipe changed or the supplier.

Just buy Jiff.  The price difference is not enough to break you if you buy 2 jars to make cookies.  And it's probably on sale somewhere, so you won't even have to pay full price.

Have you tried the Name Brands like Skippy, Jiff and the others? 
And I found out something interesting Chunky peanut butter is made by adding chopped peanuts to creamy peanut butter so if all else fails you could add finely chopped peanuts to any peanut butter you want. 
And if you happen to live in an area that has a nut packing plant see if they have a warehouse store, often you can find several different brands that you might not find in a local store.

Really? why don't you have a different type of cookie as backup because things change all the time.
