What the Fuck is Up With Butter Prices

[Infinityshock]

several months ago I bought a package of 2-lbs of butter for $4.xx.  a few months ago it had gone up to $6.xx.  last month it was $8.xx and earlier when i went shopping it was $9.xx.

what in the holy merry fuck is the justification of this absurd price increase for something that is basically milk.

i stopped buying butter when it went up to $8 for 2-lbs and wont be buying it again until it goes back down to $6.xx.  considering how theyre price gouging, shoplifting may be a good course of action to stick it to the man

Where im from you can get a pack between 2 and 4 bucks depending on brand. I use coconut oil a lot but I find it is more expensive.

Bitching about the price of food, you're getting old haha

For truth tho my mom was bitching about the price of sour cream yesterday n I said the same thing about it being a milk product.  She said milks been going up too but usually the supermarkets will keep certain brands on sale because ppl will really bitch about milk prices since it's considered a basic necessity.

i use it but not in the same things i use butter in. it definitely doesnt have the same flavor and texture

no, its not that...its that the price has increased so much its ridiculous.  everything else goes up a few percent to maybe 50%.  butter has more the doubled in price

Have you considered switching to a non hydrogenated vegetable spread?  It's the same consistency of butter, a little less savory tho.

ive tried several different types...they all taste like ass

i used a little bit of canola oil on my spaghetti tonight to keep it from sticking together.  normally i use half a stick of butter but primarily for the taste, secondarily to keep the spaghetti from sticking together
