Butter is butter
I know butter and margarine cannot – and should not – be compared, but what about comparing butter to butter? The following photo is of two different blocks of butter purchased at two different discount grocery chains. If you open the photo to see it close up you’ll notice they were both packaged at the same plant. I can’t remember what the price difference was, but if I could it would make this comparison a lot more interesting.

Butter, like frozen vegetables, are all the same. In the butter plant in Kazoo, and the vegetable freezing facility in Hartford (Hansen’s), they simply stop the line, change out the bags/boxes, and start it back up. Generics, Green Giant, all the same. They just sprout different prices when they reach the store. I think the same is true of canned veggies and fruits. Just thought I’d mention it.

See, I knew it! I hadn’t thought about the canned stuff, I’m not a big fan of canned veggies and fruits.
