jquery - How to move an element into the next parent element in the DOM?

Question

I'm struggling to move an element into the next element in the DOM. I can move it but it keeps repeating itself into the other div's with the same class.

This is my HTML:

    <p>The first text that needs to be moved</p>
    <div class="tmb">
      <span class="price">500</span>
    </div>
    <p>Second text that needs to be moved</p>
    <div class="tmb">
      <span class="price">500</span>
    </div>

What I want to happen is that the first p element will be inserted after the first .price element. The second p element will be inserted after the second .price element. I can't give the p elements a class because they are created dynamically.

I have this jQuery:

   $(".tmb").prev("p").insertAfter("span.price");

But this moves the p element after every .price element, which is logically. I just want it to move after the first .price element that it comes across in the DOM.

To achieve this you could loop through all p elements as there are multiple, and then use appendTo() to add them to their related .tmb. Try this:

$('p').each((i, p) => $(p).appendTo($(p).next('.tmb')));

<p>The first text that needs to be moved</p>
<div class="tmb">
  <span class="price">500</span>
</div>
<p>Second text that needs to be moved</p>
<div class="tmb">
  <span class="price">500</span>
</div>
