Unsalted butter $2.69/lb was the regular price today at Smart&Final.

Dang. Didn't even look at butter when I was there today... but I have
so much in stock from pre-Christmas sales, I won't need any until at
least next month. In any case, usually the butter they have at that
price is a block, not sticks. They might be selling overstock butter
at pre-Christmas prices, but unless it's a no name brand (by the
block) - you won't usually find it that cheap at the Smart & Final I
shop in.

In any case, Smart & Final isn't a regular grocery store. It's one of
those places, like Trader Joe's, that you make a first stop to buy as
much as you can at a good price and then go to a real grocery store to
buy everything you wanted but couldn't find at the first stop.
