Perhaps no one will argue that our mothers and grandmothers, who had the chance to live in Soviet times, knew a real sense of saving.
At that time, some products could only be purchased with coupons, and sometimes customers were met with empty shelves in stores.
So Soviet housewives had to resort to all sorts of tricks to keep their families from going hungry. Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti and a cook, shared ways to save butter that have remained since that time.
Salt was added to butter not for taste, but to increase its shelf life. In addition, as practice shows, salted butter is easier to spread on bread, and its consumption will be reduced.
You can also try mixing butter with sunflower oil using a blender or mixer. This will result in a more airy product that is easier to spread on bread or a loaf, meaning you will need less of it to make a sandwich.
Finally, to save money, you can look for a more affordable alternative to butter - this could be margarine or spread.
