Nellie's Free Range Butter - Unsalted

Cute butter. Tragically, it is always within 2 weeks of expiry when I get it in my veg box. This is not very realistic for solo me, because even if I bake with it, I'd need to consume like 2Tbsp butter/day. That seems unwise as a regular lifestyle choice. I did manage to bake+freeze a good old blueberry pie-cake to finish this one off though. No complaints about the taste or form or cute cow box; it is surely butter. Actually, maybe this is what give me a huge stomach ache?? Possible complaint. But probably not. Probably no complaints. I'll give it a 5 to be safe.

Land O Lakes Butter with Canola Oil

This is my go-to butter spread for every (non-baking) use. My parents were big margarine people growing up (as were many people in the 90s, so I read), but I never used it on anything because I thought the taste was gross. Come to find out as an adult that margarine is probably worse for you, health-wise, as long as you aren't downing a tub of it every week. Good intuitions, babby!me. Anyway, this tastes like butter, but the oil makes it spready. Good for frying eggs, good for bagel (rip bagel era), good for oatmeal (my current daily brekkie). Usually affordable, and I usually finish a tub right before it expires. Another gift from the land o' lakes lady--wait, where'd she go?!

Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter (Salted)

Butter, obviously, improves the taste of many things. This butter is from a great company (at least, ingredient-transparency-wise) and might cost 5 billion dollars soon, so I had to get some while the getting's good. The 8oz package is much cheaper than half of the 1lb package, and it's also a more appropriate size for me. But it's not in sticks, it's just a thick rectangle, so the portioning-out process is a little bit annoying. Nevertheless, with the right tools, you can make it work for you.

Kerrygold Unsalted Butter

I buy this brand for baking because of their explicit nut-free-ness (online) and their good reputation (among bakers everywhere). It tastes like butter and is suitable for my butter needs (which are not excessive). It lasts a long time and is easy to cut. One downside, which I find with many butters, is that the labelled tables(poons) are askew on the wrapper and so you have to use your brainpower to cut an appropriate amount, which I am not great at.
