As I said my last post butter was going for $7.56 for 4 pounds on February 5, 2011 about 4 pounds of butter. These were individually wrapped and cost $.15 more than the four 1 pound blocks. 4 pounds of butter was $9.49 butter took a big jump for some reason it always seems to fluctuate up and down, but I thought this was worth noting. That's $2.37 a pound versus $1.89 a pound. I think we are going to start paying a lot more for everything, and the price of food is getting hit everyone no matter your economic status.
