Sticker Shock!!! I just priced BUTTER, and it is up to $5.29 for 4 sticks!!!!

They are definitely "sticking" it to us...😰

I can't remember EVERY price before inflation, but I remember ALWAYS paying $3.99 for store brand butter. I thought that was expensive.

What are some pre-Biden and post Biden prices you remember from YOUR local grocery store?

I grew up around my grandparents' dairy farms and helped make butter several times. Get yourself the required amount of milk/cream and a churn and make your own butter once. You'll not complain about the price again. ;-) But I hear you.

@Stillwaiting The young girls in my church are taught how to do that, but I can't physically do that. I had a surgery several years ago, and one of my shoulders sets up aching like crazy right up into my neck if I use that arm too much.

I sure would like to try it, though!

@Stillwaiting The price of cream is just as bad though. I love making my own butter but cringe when I see the price on cream.

@4meAndyou Sorry to hear re your shoulder. Of all the chores I learned to do that was among my least favorite.

@SW-User More about how boring I found it at that age. I'd always rather do the barn work than sit there churning.

@Stillwaiting Ha! I use to give it to my children in a jar and let them roll it to each other and they were always happy to do so and thrilled at the outcome. lol
