Some margarine is super cheap. I was shocked at the prices of some that
Winco had for sale. It's not the kind I can eat. Not many are dairy free.
I use Nucoa for cooking if it is going to be something that we all eat. Or
I will just use olive oil instead. I do use butter when I am only cooking
something for husband and daughter. For toast I use Smart Balance or Earth
Balance. Earth Balance tastes better. I think Earth Balance comes in a
stick form but it contains flax and daughter can't have that. They will
occasionally use a soft spread but really only very occasionally. So much
so that I usually have to toss it before it is used up. So I just get
whatever is cheap at the time.

I wish I could eat butter. I like it. It just doesn't like me.
