thewayiam said:Maybe it isn't exactly free, but how long has it been since you were able to get a pound of butter for 41 cents? That is just basically a giveaway.

BTW, I guess I wonder what OP means. I have heard it used a lot

There was a $0.55 off coupon in the sunday inserts not too long ago.

It expires 5/11/08 and the picture is of the 8 half sticks package.

"New Size!"

Since when is 8 1/8ths a new size over 4 1/4ths ????

Well, they also have the reward program where you send in UPCs to get stuff - the best things in my opinion being free Fandango movie tickets and Free LOL product coupons.

LB

where can I find those that are cut into "pats" about 1/40 of a stick ? I'm tired of stealing them from the cafeteria at Belleview Hospital.

seems like a lot of work to redeem less than $4.

The world record for butter eating is 7 quarter pound sticks of salted butter in 5 minutes by Donald Lerman.

This is a hot deal, as it could lead to a new world record...these have the potential of just being swallowed whole without all that chewing to slow you down.

If someone can beat that mark by eating 16 of these little hummers in 5 minutes; I'm sure Land O Lakes would give them the butter for all the publicity and fame it would bring.

Dammit. I wanted to make the "Last Tango" reference.

Hilarious!
Generally I use margarine (sp?) but some recipes require butter and free is great! Thanks OP!

I found it in Shop Rite in NJ. I can verify that it is indeed still 1 pound .

Bleh.It was $4.49 here in NJ (so it will actually cost 10 cents plus mailing supplies, since the rebate is up to $4.39). I prefer the unsalted too, but it looks like it's only available in salted (the rebate form lists a very specific UPC, so it will only work for that one, which is salted).

BTW, for those using this in baking, you might want to reduce the salt in the recipe slightly to account for the salt in the butter. Some things will come out tasting overly salty if using both the recommended amount of salt and salted butter. (I usually use very little salt in my cooking/baking, so even a little too much can taste excessive to me).

Found this in Kroger and Food Lion here. Kroger charged $3.69, and Food Lion charged $3.49. I would not pay extra for this item. I like L-O-L, but given a choice between that brand and store brand, if the store brand is cheaper, that's what I buy.
