I like butter, and its the one of the reason’s I can’t wait for my cow to start milking is so that I can make my own homemade butter, I use butter in tiny amount for that amazing flavor, the local butter I can get in my 100 mile zone currently had gone up to 6.99, even the cheapest butter is 4 dollars and up, with the good qaulity made in province typically being at 5.49 or 5.99 depending on what store you go to in town.
Well they had a sale on butter, now it was a drive into the city limits but we needed to get other things in town including banking, so it was a multi trip, not just for butter, so we walked down the isles, with me shaking my head and finding price after price higher then what we pay in our local discount store, and hubby tracks down the butter sale spot, so I said grab that big full box, and hubby slowly turns his head and goes.. ahhh, that would be forty pds of butter hon.. I smile and go yup.. he shakes his head and says, don’t think they will let us buy that much, I smile back and say, lets try (do I own up to the fact that I called the store ahead to make sure that there was no limit?)
So off to the till we go and I now have a full case of butter at just under 3 dollars per pd, a savings of two plus dollars for the regular and a savings of almost 4 dollars a pd from the one that I normally buy at the local store, it will freeze beautifully, and I am hoping that by the time I use this up, either a new sale will come on, or my cow will be starting to milk, and I can make my own..
What was the last thing you bought enough of to get the look at the till, from the other customers, and or from your own family 🙂
Just another Day on the Farm 
You should definitely NOT own up … that would just destroy the mystique!
Good to know, no owning up 🙂
I routinely buy large amounts of items, especially if they’re on sale. I have teenagers. On the weekend I filled the vehicle with 50 lbs beets, 50 lb carrots, 5 bu tomatoes, 3 bu pears and 1 bu apples. The kids just shake their heads but they’re used to the way I shop. All that produce will be either canned, dried, or frozen for winter usage. Everyone helps with the processing.
I saw that butter was on sale but we opted for the cheese that was on instead since we use more of that, and yes, I bought alot of it.
Found you from a link on Canadian Doomer’s site.
Hi Thifty Momma
Welcome to the blog, thanks for stopping by and hope you will comment often, Doomer is great! I still have 11 blocks of cheese in the freezer from the last sale plus all the sheep cheese I put away but it was a good deal that is for sure!
Sounds like you do a good job putitng up your food for winter, and it is the time of year to do so..
I always buy up on sales. If there is a limit, I just keep going back ’cause the limits are usually per shopping trip. The Shopper’s Drug Mart next to my work place has butter on for $2.99 per pound which caught my attention! I’ve been in 3 times already, and plan to make a few more trips as the sale ends on Monday.
Hi Anne
I always look at that stores flyers but with the closest being about 40 or so minutes away, I don’t get there often, so glad that you are able to take advantage of their loss-leaders by being so close from work.
