This store has recently provided a truly excellent and outstanding service! I ordered two 25-pound bags of the raw peanuts, and they are extremely fresh and delicious! Also, the shipping was almost immediate! I think I got the peanuts within a business day or two after I ordered, and I live in Illinois near Saint Louis, Missouri, about 20 miles or so east of the Mississippi River. I probably had a weekend in between when I ordered and received the peanuts, which may have provided a little extra time, yet I was very impressed with the rapid shipping! Aunt Ruby's had a 20 percent off Labor Day sale that I took advantage of.
I have been eating raw peanuts since around the middle of 1989. I am a complete vegetarian, which means my food is all plant products, and only that. I like raw peanuts, which I eat together with various grain products or sometimes raw sunflower seeds, because they don't produce gas when I am working or in other professional situations. Raw peanuts, when eaten together with some other food items, can also be good for athletic performance, and of course mixing grains and legumes helps provide complete protein for good nutrition.
Aunt Ruby's provided the best deal I could find on the internet. I was getting my raw peanuts from a local Fresh Thyme store in its bulk food section at $2.49 a pound, but recently that store raised its cost to $4.09 a pound. Aunt Ruby's peanuts are much better anyway! I think this source is well worth a try, and any worries I had were most definitely eliminated as soon as I tried the peanuts!
Thank You Very Much, Aunt...
Read moreFantastic location for fulfilling all of your peanut obsessions, or just for enjoying fresh, great tasting peanuts! Aunt Ruby's Peanuts store is THE place to find all kinds of peanut flavors from salty seasoning to sweet notes of chocolate with spicy in between. You can taste them all, but I guarantee you will have a difficult time deciding which to buy, or maybe just have to buy one of each. They make great gifts in nicely packaged round tins in several sizes, or you can create boxes with a variety of flavor styles for extra special gifting. Staff was super friendly and courteous in answering questions and offering tastes of each kind including boiled peanuts. (Who knew there was such a thing?) We even enjoyed just the visit here. What a great surprise and treat this was for us! Can't wait to share and gift our peanut...
Read moreOur new favorite affordable Virginia peanut since Trader Joe's stopped carrying the Peanut Shoppe tins. 5 mile detour from I95 and a little longer to Roanoke rapids. Friendly service and free samples. Country style comes in lightly salted and unsalted varieties - now prefer the lightly salted tin. Kids crazy about the honey roasted tin. Spanish redskin yet to open. 5lb shell bag double the Costco price on Sach's peanuts, but much fresher and tastier. They did mention they sell at Whole foods, probably in Raleigh. Love to find it carried near Richmond. Irony a NC store sells the best VA peanuts. What you expect from a border product...
PSA - no restrooms on site. Son picked up a cotton ball...
