How much to make my own Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich?

[pampam]

I'm not sure the resort you will be at, or even if you need more than a few slices, but at Pop, and I imagine most of the other resorts, you can purchase a whole loaf of bread for about $.10 more than Walmart. Just go to where they sell the pizzas and ask. It is not listed on the menu. Your choice will be white or wheat (brown). Simply pack a little pb or Jelly in your suitcase.

when the kids were little, i had bread, peanut butter and jelly in the room and each morning made sandwiches that i brought with us into the park for them to eat.

I would pack PB and Jelly and just buy bread. If you want to risk the jelly flavors, just bring the PB. Your cost is still pretty low even if you only have a handful of sandwiches.

My thoughts, too.

You could always order some stuff from Garden Grocer, if you think your kids will be picky, or you'd like to pack lunches for the parks.

Personally, I wouldn't count on being able to buy .60 bread and having free PB/jelly at my disposal.

JIF and Skippy both make the PB singles, there is more than 2 TBSP of PB in each little cup so I'm guessing you could get at least 1 or 2 sandwiches out of that. We also buy the squeezable jelly at the store, it comes in a plastic container so no worries about glass breaking.

Garden Grocer has $12 delivery fee and a $40 minimum order. So if all OP needs is PB, Jelly and bread, they'd be better off probably packing PB and jelly in their luggage and buying bread at the resort. I suppose you could pack the bread too but I'd count on it getting squished.

DD had an order delivered from Orlando Grocery Express this time (same as Garden Grocer - works the same, pricing etc).

since she didn't have a car this time (we usually go to walgreens and buy a case of water there), she wanted to order water for the room and to carry with them into the parks (they drink tons of it) and while they were at it, they ordered everything they needed to have breakfast in the room, plus some additional snacks (in addition to the dining plan), plus shampoo/conditioner/etc etc that is difficult to carry on the plane.

We also don't feel it is appropriate to take packets from the Food Court to use for our personal needs other than they are intended for.
There is a website I use called www.minimus.biz that sells travel size items of all descriptions cheap.
I have purchased things like salt and pepper packets and sugar packets for a few cents each> Last trip I ordered mustard and mayo packets to supplement the rolls and cold cuts we purchased. That way I didn't have to buy jars of condiments.
I guess we are all different

I think the food courts do sell slices of bread.

People worry that much about those little packets of jelly or pb?

If they aren't out maybe you could ask for some or ask where you could buy some pb? The Hess station behind the Boardwalk might have these items?

I think they are meant to be used as condiments? Wether for a bagel, toast or a cheeseburger? lol

just remember if you fly with your own peanut butter, it has to be in checked luggage. (unless it's in packets and you can get them into your in flight baggie)

I think I know where OP got the idea for the bread and free packets (grab and go as many as you want). Back in 2009/2010 I was researching budget Disney plans. There were quite a few folks on the other popular websites who were putting this out as the "thing to do." One of the sites I was surprised to see it on was the WDW Mom Forum. One of the moms kept putting it as an answer. I did a search, but those posts have disappeared.

Most of us would never think to take advantage of this, but there are those folks in the world who never buy ketchup, hot sauce, napkins or straws in the real world. So, they probably feel Disney is the smorgasboard of condiments.

 

[maxiesmom]

Jelly was only out at breakfast when we were there in September. Better to buy the jars and keep them in the fridge.

This. You can't depend on it being available all of the time. To be on the safe side it is best to bring your own. Otherwise if it is out to grab, and you buy the bread from the food court, the peanut butter and jelly is for you to use. Not for you to grab and take a bunch back to your room but to use at the time.

I have never done this (I like butter on my toast and can't tell you the last time I had a PB&J) however

This is what I always think when someone says "Don't be one of THOSE people buy your own peanut butter" What is the peanut butter out for if it isn't toast? I can't think of anything else they serve that would make sense to add peanut butter to (besides bagels but those are also basically toast). Now if you have two slices of toast with peanut button (or one with peanut butter and one with jelly which again what else was the jelly meant for but toast) and you put them together you have a sandwich. Some people skip the cooking the bread part.

Why is toast ok but a sandwich isn't?

I guess I wonder why Disney has free peanut butter tubs if this wasn't the intended purpose. I assume the cost of peanut butter, butter, or jelly was factored into the price of toast as $.59 for two slices of bread is pretty steep.

Now bringing your own bread or bread from the store to do this would be wrong as then you didn't buy the "toast" it was meant to accompany (like making a salad from the topping bar) but I don't understand the issue with buying the bread and making a sandwich with it.

I agree with this. If the food court sells bread slices and has pb and jelly on the condiment carts, then why shouldn't you be able to use it on the bread that you purchase there? Why else would it be there if not for use with the bagels, bread, etc.?

How much to make my own Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich? = however much it costs you to purchase bread and jelly and peanut butter.

Condiments aren't the same as sandwich fixings, even if the ingredients are the same. Again, WDW sells Uncrustables. Cheap sandwiches is probably a largd part of why a poster above discoverd peanut butter isn't put out.

 

[ilovecountry]

The thing is though, Uncrustables aren't an option for everyone. They're not very filling as a meal, you're limited to the flavor, & they're loaded with extra sugar. I know the OP probably doesn't have an issue nutritional wise but just because they sell an uncrustable, doesn't mean people want to purchase it as is. If she is purchasing the bread I actually fail to see the issue of using the condiments Maybe someone could enlighten me over what the issue is, if you buy bread- you can't use any condiments? Peanut Butter & Jelly isn't a load of fixings- if people use Butter & Jelly on two slices of toast, how is that not the same thing?

In the opposite way of the statement I thumbs'upped....what IS the intended end-place for the PB, if not on bread? What does Disney think we should do with it?



Uncrustables are gross IMO and have horrid ingredients (to all countries but America, it seems). Now, I'm not saying the jelly is any better at a food court (we would likely have to find a honey packet for DS since that's what he prefers, and we would still make sure it's actually honey and not honey-flavored corn-based sugars), but it's not like Uncrustables are awesome or something everyone can eat.

So why not?

If they sell bread, they mean for you to buy it and do...*something* with it. IF they put out PB, and I think we know they put out jelly, they also intend people to do something with them. Put them together...seems like it's an intended use, yes?


That said, we bring our own safe-ingredients peanut butter and jelly and buy safe bread. But if we *could* eat the PB&J fixings Disney may or may not provide, we certainly would do just that. Buy the bread, make the sandwich.

Disney's got bigger things to worry about than a guest using 13 packets of peanut butter and jelly costing them 79 cents. Have you seen FP+ lately?

Why, yes, I have. And I love it.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

So if I don't toast my bagel, is it ethical for me to put peanut butter on it?

 

[mommyboys3]

Why all the holier than thou responses? The OP clearly states that she plans to BUY 2 pieces of bread from the resort CS location & wants to know if PB & J are available. What is so wrong with that? Bringing your own bread & taking PB & J packets I would have a problem with, but what she is asking is perfectly fine in my book (although it sounds like she shouldn't count on the PB & J being available).

 

[aaarcher86]

I just don't think the intended purpose is to make a whole sandwich. Just like the intended purpose of buying a double burger wasn't so people could request and extra bun (and maybe buy it?) and make 2 burgers, or the toppings bar at QS locations being turned into a salad (even if you buy something else).

Really, it just seems so silly. It's blatantly obvious that someone's twisting this into something it wasn't intended for to save a buck - and we all know what happens at Disney with stuff like that, even when they have bigger issues. They just remove it, which on the end affects other people. And that's personally what annoys me about this stuff. Is it really that hard to buy a loaf of bread and some PB&J? Nobody going to Disney is that hard up.
