    Not to give this admin any credit, but he isn’t wrong. He said $1 per stick, not power pound. I can get a Kroger 4 stick pack for $3.49 at my local store.

    These people don’t do their own shopping. Anything they say about groceries is most likely wrong. Fucking hell Trump didn’t even know the word groceries until a while back.

      I mean, it was hilarious when Poppy was amazed by grocery scanners, but donnie going on about the word “groceries”, sounding like an alien in a skin suit is 1000x that.

        I honestly wish they would take Trump into a supermarket to buy stuff. Or maybe use the self-checkout. That would be some amazing comedy show.

    I just made butter at home from heavy whipping cream. It’s so easy and cheap, I’m never buying butter again.

      Is the quantity of heavy whipping cream to make a stick of butter less expensive than buying the butter itself? I’m intrigued now and might try this myself. Does it spoil faster or anything?

        If you are buying premium butter and you use the byproduct (buttermilk) then it may be close to break even. But yes it does spoil faster

        $6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if you’re buying cheap butter or expensive butter.

        You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all.

        DIY Butter doesn’t spoil any faster and can be frozen.

        It also just tastes a lot better.

          Thank you so much. You’ve inspired me - I’m going to give it a try this weekend. I already make my own bread, so this will be a fun addition.

            Just here to say I’m also going to do this! Didn’t really ever think to.

            I used a whipping attachment on my food processor. I haven’t tried more manual methods since I’m lazy.
