• Bargain Shopper
• The first time I bought butter, I couldn't believe it was almost $5 a pound. As much as I like to bake, that doesn't work for me. I consulted my favorite bargain shopper (Mom) and she said that she usually buys it at a warehouse store where it costs less than $2 a pound or she buys it when it's on sale at the grocery store. Either way, she buys a lot at a time and puts it in the freezer, where it will keep for several months.
