Maybe it's just here in Seattle, but the local groceries here have many
of the nut butters (thus saving you some mooshing and cleanup time).
I think the Peanut Butter council has some law that the competing nut
butters can't be displayed on the same aisle, so sometimes you have to
hunt for them, but they're around.  Both Almond and Hazelnut are awesome!
