Better Butter Control
I can get so much more out of my butter or margarine by using this simple tip.
Most wrappers on sticks of butter or margarine are marked to cut the stick into 8 tablespoons. I get more “mileage” out of my butter or margarine by taking the new sticks and scoring (or marking) the top of each stick into 12 to 16 pieces with a knife. This helps me with portion control and makes my sticks last almost twice as long. This is really helpful as I’m on a very limited budget.

Soft Butter Savings!
To save on soft butter- buy a Butter Bell/ French Butter Keeper. 1/2 cup of butter stays fresh and soft on your counter for a week or more. You just have to change the cool water in the resevoir every couple of days. "Soft" butter costs about $3.00 for 8 oz. One stick of butter is .75 or less. The price of the butter keeper paid off in about a couple months. You can find them online.
BTW. I don't use magarine, my childhood friend's dad worked for a margarine manufacturer and he refused to serve margarine to his family. enough said!
