How to Order Peanuts from Aunt Ruby's Peanuts Online

Aunt Ruby's Peanuts sells its North Carolina–made gourmet peanuts and gifts directly through auntrubyspeanuts.com, and ordering works like a standard online store: browse the Featured Products section, open a product, use "View Options" to pick a size or style, then add it to your cart and check out. This guide covers that flow and the details worth checking before you pay. It applies to anyone ordering from the site; the exact cart and checkout screens may differ slightly from what's described here, so treat the steps as the general path rather than a fixed menu map.

Step 1: Find the products you want

Start from the homepage, where the Featured Products section lists items such as Cajun Style Peanuts. This is the fastest way to see what's currently sold, since featured items are the ones the store is actively promoting.

If you already know what you're after, use the site's product navigation or search rather than scrolling, and if you're buying as a gift, look for the gift-oriented listings — the site markets its peanuts as gifts ("Make Great Gifts!"), so gift assortments and cases are part of the catalog rather than a separate store.

Step 2: Choose your size or style with "View Options"

Products that come in more than one configuration don't have a single "Add to Cart" button. Instead they show a View Options link. Clicking it opens the choices for that product — for example, a full case versus a smaller quantity, or different flavor variants.

This matters for two reasons:

• Price depends on the option. A case-sized product is priced differently from a single unit, so the price you see on the listing page may be the starting point, not the final number.
• Shipping terms can be tied to the option. Some listings are explicitly labeled as free shipping (for example, a "Free Shipping Case"), which means the shipping cost is built into that specific configuration. Choosing a different size may not carry the same shipping treatment.

Pick the option that matches how much you actually want, then add it to your cart.

Step 3: Review the cart before checkout

Once items are in the cart, check three things:

The product listing itself displays pricing with tax indicated (for example, "$ 339.00 (Inc. Tax)" on the Cajun Style Peanuts free-shipping case), so expect tax to be part of the displayed figure rather than a surprise added later — but verify this on your own cart, since it can vary by destination.

Step 4: Complete checkout

Proceed to checkout and provide your shipping and payment details. The site does not publish which payment platforms it accepts in the material available here, so have your preferred payment method ready and confirm what's offered on the checkout page before entering anything.

After payment, you should receive an order confirmation. Keep it — it's your reference for the exact options, quantities, and any free-shipping terms that applied to your order.

Common snags and how to handle them

• "I can't find an Add to Cart button." You're probably on a multi-option product. Look for View Options instead.
• "The price changed when I opened the options." That's expected — the listing price often reflects one configuration, and other sizes are priced separately.
• "Shipping showed up on a free-shipping item." Re-check that you selected the free-shipping configuration specifically; free shipping is attached to certain cases, not to every product.
• "I'm not sure what's in stock." The Featured Products section is the clearest signal of what's currently being sold; if an item isn't listed there or in the catalog, it may not be available.

A quick decision guide

• Buying a gift? Go through Featured Products and the gift-oriented listings first — the store positions its peanuts as gifts, so those are the most relevant starting points.
• Buying in bulk? Look for case options and check whether the case carries free shipping, since that changes the effective total.
• Buying a single item to try? Choose the smallest option under View Options rather than defaulting to a case.
