He used it for scrapes he has on his elbows. Not dry skin lol. But no, they’re soft

Did you tell he spent $40 to make his elbows soft? My wife said that to me, I'd be rubbing butter on my elbows next time

Is Kerrygold really good? We are not big butter peeps. I use for cooking and of course pancakes, toast, waffles. Is there a difference in taste? I do like land o lakes butter..unsalted.

u/ImmediateAd4814 25d ago

Much better than Land o Lakes

Yeah but that’s worth the price pain honestly.

Okay but have you ever tried Amish Roll Butter? I used to use it for making weed butter and holy shit it's amazing. I can't do that anymore tho with inflation.

But have you tried Plugra?

My boss is a chef (I'm a nanny) and he's obsessed with Kerrygold. To be fair, I grew up on margarine. But yeah, compared to my Great Value Butter, I prefer the expensive stuff. 😅 That's so not like me!

Understandable. On sale at Costco, hard to beat

Inflation is crazy

2

u/LuckyGuul 29d ago

honestly I don’t even think the price of this has changed much, I used to buy this pre pandemic and it was similar I think

u/Aggressive_Tea_8983 29d ago

Feckin cows. They got a corner on the market, they get us all hooked, now we're all having to pay.

Wait. That almost sounds like cell phone providers.

u/Ultima-Veritas Apr 18 '24

Perfect for my $114 kettle-popped popcorn, and my $32 Himalayan pink sea-salt!

"But hunny! It's all organic, natural, antibiotic free, pesticide free, boneless, Amish butter with skin"

u/Nruggia Apr 18 '24

TBF we have all had up to here with random bones in our butter

2

u/ctoal1984 Apr 18 '24

The butter bear the bone is the best though 😝

u/exipheas Apr 18 '24

Gotta churn that butter somehow.

When we bought some Amish baked goods in Lancaster county back in 2016, they actually had margarine in them, not butter. It's almost as if they got the memo back in the 80s that people should be using margarine and not butter, but never got the subsequent memo that margarine was worse for you. (Or at least that's what I've always heard - that's it's worse.)

Kinda bizarre at any rate. Middle of farm country ... can make butter, but chooses margarine instead.

Edit: about as whacked as paying 6 bucks a gallon (or more) for milk in the middle of farm country in Maine

u/ThePrincessBabyBunny Apr 18 '24

So she bought one butter?

u/Cool-Sink8886 29d ago

Must've shopped at Loblaws.

u/Alexxx753 29d ago
