Well, I think you are pretty darned lucky with prices like that. Up here in Canada, if I can get to Costco, butter is $3.59 a pound and PS is $1.89 for a 2.2 pound bag. If I can't get to Costco, you are paying approx. $4.29 for a pound of butter and $3.49 for the PS. Consider yourself fortunate.

Yes, it is in Canadian dollars but the difference isn't that much now. Even when are dollar was at par, the price of butter and PS was the same. I think very expensive compared to there.

Thanks for this tip...PS was almost $2/2lb bag for the generic brand at Wal-mart the other day. I'll have to check Aldi's out. thumbs_up.gif

Can't say the prices are the same everywhere...but good luck! I'm still worried about the prices going up like everywhere else.
