I've found that cashew butter is harder to find, but it tastes better and it's almost always cheaper.
Recently I've found some shops carrying sunflower seed butter. Tastes great and sunflower oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat.
Peanuts are also not a nut, they are legume, which can have effects on your hormonal system similar to way soybeans can.
Ah that's neat. I'll have to try almond butter.
