$4.14 for a pound of butter!!

September 27th, 2008 at 05:31 pm

I couldn't believe my eyes. That is how much a pound of butter is now.
We had read an article several years ago that butter was much better for you than margarine, so we switched to butter. I still use margarine for cooking. Guess I am going to have to use it for eating too. Food prices are getting so high.
Our favorite restaurant had to print new menus and raise their prices. They just had to.
Today, I did my grocery shopping and saved $3 with my store card. I will add this to my challenge money.
Prev. total $20,987.00
today 3.00
new total $20,990.00

    If you have a Kroger, Land O Lakes Canola spreads and the margarine are on sdale 10/$10. Sometimes the butter is on sale, too.

    How much butter do you use?

    I find I have to buy the salted, because a pound lasts us for a couple of months.

    When butter is on sale for around $2.00 a pound, I buy up to 10 pounds and freeze it. It lasts indefinitely in the freezer.

    I buy it when it's on sale for around $2.00 a pound as well. Into the freezer it goes and I NEVER have to pay full price! I also find Walmart or Target usually has their brand of butter for close to sale prices all the time. Good to know.

    Butter usually goes on sale in mid November, in line w/ Thanksgiving. Buy a ton and in the freezer it goes. Usually its lowest is about $1.99/lb. We'll see how low the price goes this year. I'm not hopeful.
