Planters-Nuts On the Go Snack Packs, 24-Count Variety Packs, 40.5oz Boxes

This looked like a great way to buy a variety pack of nuts, in snack sizes that would keep me from eating too many. The problem is that peanuts are sort of the "junk" nut if you're trying to eat healthy. (stick to almonds and walnuts)

Plus buying individual packs is more expensive. But the worse offenseseveral packages were rancid! It seemed to be the plain salted peanuts mostly. The honey nuts had a slightly off taste, but not as bad as the salted peanuts. The cashews were OK, but not as good as cashews I've had from regular cans of Planters. I think what might happen is that shipping in the summer in the Southern states causes a lot of degradation in the flavor in the packages.

Don't waste your money on this, because you just don't know what you're going to get.

This package of variety nuts is very convenient to have when on the go and for my son's lunch box, he likes these but the price on Amazon is too high for mostly peanuts. It is a much better price at Sam's Club for the exact same thing. I love buying on amazon (sort of an Amazon addict)because of the convenience and great prices but you do have to keep in mind Sam's Club is very competitive price wise it's just a pain in the neck going there (when spoiled by Amazon) plus always end up spending more and having to bring it all home. Love the free home delivery Amazon offers so if you want to pay more for the convenience then you should buy these on Amazon.

IN A NUTSHELL: EACH PACKAGE CONTAINED 2 OZ. OF FRESH PEANUTS OR CASHEWS

These 2 oz. packages are filled with fresh nuts with nothing but salt added [& peanut oil or cottonseed oil]. As snack foods go, this is a very healthy choice. Although expensive on an ounce for ounce basis, as portions of snack foods go, this is still a fair value and a relatively healthy choice. Bear in mind that about 75% of the 170 calories per ounce are from fat, but there are NO TRANS-FATTY ACIDS or CHOLESTEROL while there are some healthy mono-saturated oils.

My big complaint against many other snack-nut products is their lack of freshness, and in fact a rancid taste to the nuts which NEVER happened with these Planters nuts. In fact, each individual package has an expiration date clearly marked on the front of the package.

BOTTOM LINE: I PREFER THE LARGER JAR BECAUSE I EAT MORE THAN 2 OZ. AT A TIME

My preference is to get these peanuts and cashews in the larger jar and unsalted, but for the summer, the salt is okay and the freshness was consistent in every package.

I have ordered and reordered this item several times. The last shipment I received (two boxes) the package sizes had decreased from 2 oz to 1.75 for the peanuts and 1.5 for the cashews.

I realize this is from Planters and it's a sign of the times but the product description needs to be updated.

We like these at work but just like Granola bars, the price stays the same (or goes up) and the product size goes down.

The product itself is fine but I am sick of getting ripped off by changes in product portions. Planters-Nuts On the Go Snack Packs, 24/2 oz Variety Packs
