6 "Butter" Brands That Aren't Butter (Check Your Fridge)

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Last Tuesday I turned over the tub I've bought for twenty-some years and read the back for the first time. First ingredient: purified water. Real butter is one ingredient, cream, with a little salt if you like. Anything else has to be called a spread, and the fine print says so. Our grandmothers knew butter by the churn; we have to know it by the label. In this one I'll walk you through 6 "butter" brands that aren't butter, and the 3 that are: 🧈 The tubs: Country Crock Original and a store-brand spread that "Tastes Like Butter!" 📦 The sticks shaped exactly like butter: Imperial and Blue Bonnet 🐄 The ones that get you: butter cut with canola, and "Plant Butter" with a barn on the box ✅ The three that pass the cream-and-salt rule, and the cheapest real butter in the store …and why the real thing is often cheaper than the pretend one sitting next to it. Turn it over, read the first word, and you'll keep your money right where it belongs. If saving money and smarter grocery shopping sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What did you find in your fridge door? Tell me the brand and the first ingredient down in the comments. #frugalliving #savemoney #butter #readthelabel #groceryshopping #budgetgroceries #moneysavingtips #homemaking #householdtips
