Butter is expensive and we tend to use a lot of it so I have been trying to think of ways to cut back. We use it in a lot of dishes so it would be next to impossible to cut out. I hate the thought of using margarine but the container said "cholesterol & trans fat free." Its only for a year. Will it kill us? After researching it online, I don't think it will. I still prefer natural foods over man-made so we'll get back to butter as soon as we can. : )
Here is what the Mayo Clinic has to say about it.
1 lb of butter from Aldi is $2.29
2.6 lbs of margarine from Aldi is $1.79
We are going through 1-2 lbs of butter a week in things like mac & cheese, grilled cheese sandwhiches, toast, mashed potatoes, etc. I think 2 tubs of margarine will last us the entire month. We shall see.
