I very much enjoy those butters but in Canada they are extremely dear so a rare treat.

 

You should get a discount.

To the Canadians following this ropic:  both Independent and Loblaws have Lanctantia butter on sale this week for $2.99 a pound.  Stated limit of six or, put another way, 6 at a time.

Damn - good to know - will head there on the way home today!

Nice. In my neck of the woods it's ADL/Dairy Isle in the flyer this week. Still good butter, but not quite as desirable.

Dairyland here and $3.49, but still a good buy! Thanks!

Metro has Lanctantia on sale this week for $3.44.  Not as good a price as Loblaws last week but still pretty good.  Probably won't see it on sale now anywhere for a while.  These things seem to go in cycles.

Got 12 lbs at $2.99 at Zehr's on Tuesday. I like to get the lanctancia squares - wonder if the $3.44 includes the entire Lanctacia range? It's $5.99 at my closest Metro.

Zehr's sale would have ended yesterday and Metro started today.  I assume by squares you mean sticks?  I like those also but I have NEVER seen them on sale and the Lanctantia butter is one sale I look out for.  The odd time I have gotten a raincheck and John will go pick up the butter a week or so later.  The man has no shame.  He will pick up the sticks and when he goes through the cash he has never been questioned.  That is the only time I get sticks.

Smart man! Would only work with the rain checks.

I read in The Economist that cows are being fed vegetable oil to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Methane in particular.  I guess no one considered the effect on butter.
