Butter is $4/pound and up, here in Wisconsin. I’ve never seen it that high in my entire life!

I’m still not going down to Illinois to buy Oleo, though, LOL!

Remember those days? Wisconsin passed a law to make it illegal to sell anything but butter.

Maybe we should do that again? Might right a lot of wrongs, these days. ;)

I found some at the local Mennonite emporium the other day for $3.77 a pound on sale.

Mostly it’s over $5 here in NH.

Eggs can still be had cheaply enough from local roadside stands.

Isn't that the butter substitute that included a small "dye pack" to color it up to look somewhat like butter ?
Or, did I just date myself and my age ?
As I recall, oleo was a precursor to margarine use, rite ?
