$5 for four sticks of generic butter at the store yesterday.
Crazy.
During Thanksgiving and Christmas it goes on sale. Usually I'll get it at $2.00, but sometimes $2.50.
I buy 50-60# and freeze it.
Lasts until the next holiday season, where I do it again.
Stock up when it’s on sale. Freezes well.
I bought 5 pounds ($1.99) couple weeks ago when on sale at Aldi.
But yeah, I get what you’re saying.
Costco brand cheddar cheese went up almost a buck between purchases in about one month to $5.49 for two pounds. (still *WAY CHEAPER* than Publix or Kroger)
