Here in NJ where I live, butter is only packaged in foil by premium
brands. Regular brands such as the store brand, Keller's, and Land 'O
Lakes all come wrapped in wax paper, both the salted and the unsalted
varieties.

When did Land O' Lakes stop packing the unsalted in foil? Their web
pages mention only the half lb in sticks still packed that way.

I do not buy LOL any more. Keller is on sale more often and for
everyday, I use what Costco sells.

Oops, I might be wrong about that. I will have to check the next time I
am in the store. Sitting in my freezer now are a few 1/4 pound sticks of
store brand unsalted butter in wax paper wrappers.
