Default Freezing butter

Will butter freeze and still taste good when thawed?

On sale for $1. Should I freeze a few pounds for the next 6 months or
should I just keep it without freezing for spreading on toast.

Butter freezes and thaws perfectly. All the butter I buy goes into
the freezer. I take one or two quarters out as needed and let them
thaw in the refrigerator. -aem

Buy it and freeze it. A buck a pound is a steal. I'm happy when I can
get Grade AA butter for $2/lb. I'm tickled.

At that price I'd buy up 6 months use easily. Yes, it freezers very well.
Cheapest I've seen butter in a couple of years is $1.88.

I've frozen butter for years. It works just fine!

Freezes and thaws perfectly. Wrapped airtight (we put the original packs
into ziptop bags and seal them) and stored in coldest part of freezer.
Thaw in the fridge in the wrapping.

I freeze butter all the time. AAMOF, I grate frozen butter for biscuits
and pie crusts. I use the big holes on the box grater.

Yup. Butter freezes fine. Just wrap it well in plastic wrap before you
freeze it if its sold in that wax paper wrap.

I've been using a LOT less butter since I've discovered coconut oil, and
it supposed to be healthier.

It sure is tasty.

I don't eat bread, so have little use for butter any more.
