Not me, got the last jar at Walmart. Tried blackberry at twice the price but no way. Berry just lays there til its a hard gluey Lump.
Just think if every Walmart in the oriole area is out of grape jelly???? How can that be. Festival and Aldi Out. Maybe Kwiktrip for $4 a jar.
FREE GRAPE JELLY!!!

My peanut butter is supposed to attract woodpeckers. My squirrel gets to it first, as they often do.

(34,111 posts)I cut oranges up. I was late this year, I had not seen a one and thought I had missed my chance. I hung out a couple of orange slices on my deck and turned around and they were there. Everyone I have talked to said that the oranges bring them in then the jelly will work. Just my experience. I have so many that I go through 2 entire oranges a day. The Red Bellied Woodpeckers like them too, go figure, I had never seen that before.
