Our local grocery store has butter (land o lakes) on sale this week at a good price. Would it be okay to buy extra and freeze it without compromising it in any way. oh and is there a certain brand you prefer over the other? Such as name brand versus store brand? Thanks for your help..... 
I freeze butter lots of the time. I could never tell that it made a difference. Also, I buy whatever is on sale and have never found that one is better than the other. 
I have always been the one to say that there is really no difference between name brand and store brand..But one time they were out of the store brand butter and I had to buy Land of Lakes. Loved it-made such a difference. Better texture, consistency, and even taste! So since that day I have never bought anything but Land of Lakes..and when they are on sale-I stock up. One time my husband looked into the freezer and thought I was preparing for some kind of butter shortage..LOL!
Butter can be frozen for 6 months or longer (if wrapped in newspaper) and margerine with 100% cornoil can be frozen, too. The other types of margerine have too much water, when thawed the consistency is strange. This type of margerine isn't recommended for baking because of the water content. Happy baking!
Yep I freeze it too but lately I have just been buying it at Sam's. I get the four pound pack (boxed into one pound blocks...I make alot of icing when I'm baking!) and it avgs out to about 1.67/lb. They also have butter divided into the sticks and its still pretty cheap, like 1.80/lb. So unless regular store butter goes cheaper than that, I don't buy it anymore. The quality of Sam's is the same as any other stuff at the regular grocery store.
I freeze it all the time. And I buy whatever is on sale. I haven't found a difference in taste at all.
I do get odd looks when I load up though. 
Add me to the "freeze butter" group and the "buys the bulk at Sam's" group too. And to think I used to bake with margarine years ago, then I discovered butter--wow what a difference!
