• This Week's Grocery Bargain =?UTF-8?B?ICDwn5Cu?=

    From ItsJoanNotJoAnn@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 28 19:10:34 2024
    Checking out the Kroger ad I see they have their house brand of butter
    on sale for $2.29 per pound with shoppers card and a minimum of three
    pounds purchased in one transaction. Choice of salted or unsalted.
    There were other items in this buy at least three, mix or match, and
    a savings of $2 off each item.

    Checking out the Aldi ad I see they have their house brand of butter
    on sale for $3.29 per pound. That's a bit surprising as *usually*
    they will beat Kroger's holiday pricing on items such as this.

    Two weeks ago both Kroger and Aldi had butter on sale, Land O'Lakes
    for $2.99 per pound and again Aldi brand for $3.29. At that time I
    got 5 pounds of LOL and I'll be making room somewhere in my freezer
    to take advantage of this $2.29 sale as well.

    That is a good price. Publix has Land O Lakes on BOGO so the $6.99 is
    $3.50. Last week it was Kerrygold but a half pound was $4.59, a decent
    but not cheap price for the pound.

    I have three pounds of salted butter plus a tub of Kerrygold in the
    freezer. That's likely the most butter I've ever had on hand all at
    once. :)

    Back in the fall I picked up 3 or 4 lb of butter on sale and used it for Christmas baking. It takes just short of a pound for each batch of light
    fruit cake and almost a pound to make two batches of shortbread.

    I perused the Publix weekly ad and saw they had Plugra on a BOGO at
    $4.65 but that's for half a pound. I've never tried Plugra but it
    doesn't sound like a great deal to me.

    Four sticks (a pound) of Land O' Lakes butter is $3.45. Publix brand is
    $2.29. I know which one I'd buy. :)

    In the next few days, I'm going to bake a cake. The recipe comes from
    my mother-in-law going back about 60 years. It is sort of like a pound
    cake and has been my favorite. It is baked in a tube pan and too much
    for just one person. Today, it struck me, why not bake it, cut it up
    and freeze?

    I have to get some baking powder and milk, then drag out the KA mixer.

    and freeze?

    I have to get some baking powder and milk, then drag out the KA mixer.


    Or you could mail that cake to me and save your freezer space. 😁

    Are those as big, heavy and cumbersome as Hobarts?


    Aren't Hobarts usually bolted to the floor? The one we had in the
    professional kitchen the building I formerly worked in was quite
    large and bolted down. The bowl was around 10-15 gallons.

    Did you start laughing halfway that sentence?


    No, that laughing will start when I get home and put the butter in
    the freezer.

    Because you saved $5?


    If I pick up an additional 5 pounds that would save me $10 or more if
    I buy more than 5 pounds. Butter will keep indefinitely if kept frozen.
    Most likely no more 'butter sales' until the fall and the holidays start,
    too.

    Going way back, Hobart did make Kitchen Aid but like all corporations,
    break up and sell off

    When did Hobart stop making KitchenAid?
    The former KitchenAid division was formed in 1919. In 1934, Hobart
    bought the Dayton Scale Company (an IBM division) from IBM. Dart & Kraft acquired Hobart in 1981. KitchenAid was sold to Whirlpool Corporation in
    1986 after the consummation of a $150 million purchase offer proposed in January 1985.

    Hobart used to make the KitchenAid mixers.
    My mother-in-law gave me a Hobart-made 4.5 qt KA mixer for Xmas, many
    years ago. My daughter has it now, and it still works perfectly.
    Newer KAs are no longer manufactured by Hobart.

    Checking out the Kroger ad I see they have their house brand of butter
    on sale for $2.29 per pound with shoppers card and a minimum of three
    pounds purchased in one transaction. Choice of salted or unsalted.
    There were other items in this buy at least three, mix or match, and
    a savings of $2 off each item.

    Checking out the Aldi ad I see they have their house brand of butter
    on sale for $3.29 per pound. That's a bit surprising as usually
    they will beat Kroger's holiday pricing on items such as this.

    Good specials!

    Ok. It was a silly joke. But not too bright Jill and Dave thought it
