    That’s why it’s always on sale for 99 cents Cdn I suppose!

    I bought it one time when it was on sale like a year ago (it doesn't expire does it? Oops, should check that ;) and it definitely doesn't taste as good as other margarines like Becell (I bought ICBINB light BTW) but maybe that’s b/c I've only ever really had margarine in my life not butter (other than at the occasional restaurant) so perhaps that’s why I didn't love the taste. It’s ok though considering I buy it less than once a year.

    I like the land o lakes spreadable butter with canola oil. Tastes pretty good and it's easy to spread so you don't have to have a "clump" of butter on your toast.

    I use land' o lakes light butter with canola oil on my toast...its only 50 calories for a tablespoon and I really cant taste the difference, but I have been using it for a long time so it may just be that I have developed a taste for it

    I can't believe it's not better...

    I use earth balance for cooking, but nothing for butter substitute. Nothings really going to taste as good as real butter so you're better off putting jam on your toast, honey on the oatmeal, and pepper on your corn.

    I actually love it. It is all I buy unless a recipe calls for unsalted butter then I buy Challenge butter, but for spreading I have begun to buy fat free "I can't beleive it's not butter" because it is very very spreadable and for cooking I buy the sticks.

    I actually like the spray for when I just want a touch of butter taste on food (I use EVOO for cooking/baking).

    I use real butter. I don't care, I will take the extra calories to have the real thing. I just use it sparingly and truly enjoy it when I do have it.

    I only use real butter also.

    It is made from real dairy and is a natural food. The fat in it is not bad for us!!

    I like Amish Roll butter and the Irish Gold butter I get at Trader Joe's.

    ditto. I don't like the fake butter products. They don't melt.

    Yeah I use I cant believe its not butter.. i like it and i'm a HUGE butter fan.. I also just got the spray aswell so i can do 1 or 2 sprays just for the taste.. really helps me out A LOT!
    I cook with coconut oil or Safflower oil. If you use anything else once it's heated it turns to saturated fat.

    I use unsalted butter in small amounts and in recipes that call for butter. I prefer the taste of good ole fashion butter even it doesn't have salt=0)

    I shudder to think of all of the unnatural ingredients in there, so I definitely use butter! Sparingly, but the fats in that are much better than the crap in the processed spreads. Same goes for the sprays. Get yourself a special spray bottle, and use light oils in it. You can buy the spritzer bottle at kitchen stores.

    I understand and can pronounce the ingredients in butter. The fake stuff either doesn't melt, or leaves you with a soggy mess. Or just plain tastes bad. Butter all the way! Sparingly.

    Yep, that is why I use real butter. I also almost only use Organic butter. (Once in awhile I'm in a hurry or forget.) I love the idea of getting a spray bottle for the light oils!

    Also, wow, I've never been quoted so much ever! Hahaha!!

    Thats a great thing, that is a positive that I see some people moving towards the more natural stuff.
