Butter Side Up

[marram]

I find it hard to believe, but these days my wife and I are using butter instead of margarine, because it's cheaper!

In the past 8-years, the price of a one pint tub of Golden Soft margarine has gone up 292%, from $0.89 to $2.59! They initially claimed higher gas prices for the increases, but we have gas locally at $1.87 per gallon right now - if

I switched to butter years ago and never looked back :)

I honestly think that's where we're headed!

Margarine is just an unnatural collection of natural things!

Yep. Noticed the same thing myself a while back. I was a Golden Soft man myself. I've now switched to whatever the Dollar Store is selling, and that happens to now be Blue Bonnet and Land o'Lakes. For a buck.

Hey, Chuck!

And we're doing almost the same thing with Costco's Kirkland brand.

Butter tastes better anyway.

And Happy Birthday.

I have to admit that I haven't minded the conversion back to butter much at all!

And thank you! (Did something prompt you, or are you just very observant?) :)

[bitterblacktea]

Nothing in particular prompted me. I just remembered.

Wow... I'm impressed! I'm terrible about those sorts of things...
