I mean it depends on what you're getting if you're getting top shelf ultra pasteurized, organic, grass-fed butter yes; esp ghee.

 

 

But if you get the cheap 💩 that I get at walmart and aldi you pay just over $1



The way things are going I just have to retire from the navy so I can have the commissary as an option. Bc even some of the top shelf brand names there are cheaper than store brands in other stores. But free trips to Italy are also a selling point; I hope I get Naples this year 

Well yeah, but that stuff has always been expensive. It's not like the organic stuff was recently $3 and jumped up to $8.

Yeah - real actual butter is way more $$ than that fake ish like in the bottom pic there.  

Even generic "real" butter is like 3-4 bucks right now.

I just realized its fake butter..but it looks the same so oh well 

I'm frugal and will at least try store brands before I spend a little extra

 

ok so this is real butter right? its about $5 

Oh butter is too expensive? I'm sure a bunch of tariffs will really help to drive down those prices.

Switch to coconut oil.

For all of the hand wringing I've heard over grocery prices, I've barely noticed a difference in MY grocery bills. But I'm like you, generic unless it's a clear taste difference.

Now I will say, when I look at the name brand stuff it has definitely gone up. I think a small package of Oreos is like $6.50. I'm sorry, but if you're whining about grocery prices and still spending that type of money on Oreos I have no sympathy for you.

If the cost of all imported butter increases, thereby reducing competitive price pressures, you think the price of domestic butter will decrease rather than increase? Is that how you think it works?

Same. But I only use butter for certain things. Chicken soup for example. Mostly I use EVOO (which is expensive as it is)

but i would think something like that is domestically sourced. But if the cost of imports increase then they may spread it around to other products and not just the  directly impacted products.

 

All of it was about politics but simpletons and psychotic assassins believed it.

The same here. I haven't had sticker shock since the end of 2022 early 2023 so for me as far as groceries goes the prices have stabilized. But I know that may not be the case everywhere else in the country especially areas experiencing high incidents of organized shoplifting.

I get a huge thing of EVOO from Costco every couple months. Definitely the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Taxing imports of a commodity make the cost of that commodity increase, even if that same commodity is domestically sourced. It just means the increase won't keep pace with the costs of the imported ones.

Do you think Republicans actually think kids were going to get sex changes at school if Kamala won?

I think more stores will stop carrying the imported butter.

Oh boy, something new for Americans to whine about. They took my Irish butter!

Oh so eliminating the competition altogether? Yeah that'll help. Consumers always win when that happens!

There are "good illegals"?

There was a guy in this area who started a foot truck, and then multiple food trucks. began expanding to various actual building locations. Opened a ship in bloomsburg temporarily. Not sure what happend to it, but it didnt last long. Opened a location in the mall. Was also opening up in a former bar in hazleton. Something went on with paper work for his businesses at some point, and he got caught up in some legality with that stuff that lead to his deportation.

The guy has major support from this supposed r a c i s t town to let him come back. 

He was a very active, involved member of the Hazleton Integration Project and Youth Center and did a lot for the community. He ran a successful business that people enjoyed. Was a hard worker and made an honest living. He contributed to society in a very positive way, unlike many of the illegals here.

I think a guy living that way should automatically get his papers for citizenship regardless of how he got here.

What percentage of butter at the store do you think is imported

We do too just be careful how you store it and ensure it’s a legit EVOO. Oils can go bad and become unhealthy quickly but you can’t really tell by look or taste.
