How accurate are they for butter? I don't know how fat fucks can consume all the butter they buy before it goes bad. I still have 3 full sticks left
Salted or unsalted? Salted will keep in the fridge quite a while

That's probably because you're buying 3 sticks at a time.
It's mostly saturated fat, it'll take a lot lot lot longer than the expiry date to go rancid or bad unless it has other shit in it.
Expiry dates are almost universally too safe, which isn't a bad thing, but know why it's there and eat accordingly. Eating fresh veg is important, for things like butter with minimal health benefits (at least compared to milk) it's far less important
Also freezing butter is perfectly fine

I just freeze it when it's on sale
take out 2 sticks at a time to the fridge and I'm gucci

What do you use your butter for? A single box of Kraft dinner calls for half a stick.

Every store around me sells them in packs of 4 like this or one huge stick about the same size of the 4 smaller ones.

I never thought of this

For greasing pans, buttering toast and waffles mostly.
>one butter stick on the countertop, nice and soft and ready to be used
>next butter stick in the fridge, ready to replace the countertop butter when it runs out
>all extra butter in the freezer
Rotate as needed.
Just bake more cakes

I've used them a while past the expiration date, probably a few months sometimes, and never had any issues. Same thing with eggs, I never get close to finishing those by the date it says on the carton, but they seem to still be good forever.

Yeah, that's the only way I've ever seen it sold, unless it's one of those tubs for spreading it on things, but I think those usually have oil mixed in and aren't pure butter.

This. A loaf of fruit bread can take anywhere from half to a full stick alone. Just use them up in baking. I can never keep this stuff on hand long enough and always run out.
