Sure hope the price of butter comes down for Christmas baking!

[grasswire]

$5.69 a pound for Land O' Lakes and Challenge butter currently!! Out of sight.

Butter is usually going on sale this time of year for under $3/pound.

How is the price where you are?

1. Rochester NH

Market Basket Stores-Cabot 2 for $5 thru the 29th...sorry

2. $6/lb for LOL atm when not on sale

We picked up 10 lbs on sale for $4/lb though. (Butter can be frozen.)

I'd just about swear, though, that we got it for $3/lb or less last year.

3. Best I've found is $3.68 for the store brand.

4. I buy butter only once a year. For Christmas baking.

So, I never really notice how much it goes up or down.

I suppose you could portion out smaller amounts to everyone and blame it on the republicans!

5. Last year I used more than 20 pounds of butter for Christmas baking.

Twelve pounds of cookies were picked up by the college boy going home on the train -- I bake for that part of the family every year and particularly now when there are twin toddlers.

I'm channeling my Aunt Dorothy who set the pace with her baking. A whole pantry with shelves of Christmas tins full of cookies.

6. See if any of the restaurant supply places will sell bulk butter to you.

I used to be able to buy 5kg bars of chocolate from a restaurant supply store here (until they moved or went out of business; only knew I couldn't find them ever again.) Some of them don't care if you're an individual or a business

7. 2.29/lb at aldi

not sure if there's one near you or not, but if so, it's worth checking out.

8. 2.99 at Kroger if you buy 10 items in that group

Black Friday will be the day to buy it if you check your grocery ads...

Aldis has great prices on butter ...under $2.00 in my area.

13. no aldis near me

I haven't checked Trader Joe's, which I think is owned by the same company. Worth a try.

12. I got two pounds for $5.00 the day before Thanksgiving.

Bought two pounds, and I'll have to pay attention to additional sales.
