Speaking of outrageous prices, what the fuck's with butter?
I seem to recall that in the past butter and margarine were about the same price. I usually went with marge because I'm single and a pound of butter would spoil on me, but margarine stayed good. I was at the store last week and they wanted $2.39 for a lb of butter but only 55 cents for the margarine. This is really odd because I've been able to find 1/2 gallons of milk for $1 lately. Why is making it into butter so expensive.
1. Oh those volatile food and energy components of CPI.
Thank goodness the Department of Labor excludes food and energy from the most highly respected "Core CPI," oh driver of monetary policy and markets, Core CPI. I praise thee to the sky, my Core CPI.
They are long gone back to Quebec by the tim eit comes to apple picking..of course if proper accodmadations were provided, they may stay... I didn't get to bed ONE fruit picker this year...bummer
I bake a lot, and as far back as I can remember butter has cost more. I only use butter now, but when I was growing up my mom bought margarine because it was cheaper.
Around here 2.39/lb would be a good deal on butter.
