These people don't do their own shopping. Anything they say about groceries is most likely wrong. Fucking hell Trump didn't even know the word groceries until a while back.

I mean, it was hilarious when Poppy was amazed by grocery scanners, but donnie going on about the word "groceries", sounding like an alien in a skin suit is 1000x that.
I honestly wish they would take Trump into a supermarket to buy stuff. Or maybe use the self-checkout. That would be some amazing comedy show.
~~"It's all computer!"~~
"Everything's computer!"
Close, it's "Everything's computer!" You can check the White House Auto Mall commercial.
Oh, right! Haha, love that.
These people are so completely out of touch it’s painful.
Anybody that wants to be president should go through a mandatory 6 month immersion course where they have to live on 40k a year in middle America. Don’t even make it difficult where they’d also have to support a spouse and two kids on that income. Oh, and make them work a retail job that’s at least 30 min from home. And they have to drive a 15 year old American car as well. Heck turn it into a reality tv show. Call it something like “Really Presidential” or “The Real Candidates of DC”
40K in middle America is probably much easier because cost of living is cheaper. I’m assuming you mean living in literally the middle of the US like Kentucky or something? Middle America is technically Mexico and Central America.
40K in NYC, SF, Chicago, etc would probably be a better learning experience than 40K in Kentucky.
That'd be the best part of this show. We've all lived on less. Let's watch them have it mediocre and absolutely struggle and drown
I was thinking somewhere like rural NC but yes middle of the US.

FUCK OPRAH!
She has unleashed untold evils on society. From "doctor" Phil, to John of God, she sells evil wrapped up in a package that housewives just can't resist.
Yeah I immediately thought of this LOL, thanks.
Not to give this admin any credit, but he isn't wrong. He said $1 per stick, not per pound. I can get a Kroger 4 stick pack for $3.49 at my local store.
But he was holding a PACK of butter as his example
This is honestly a nothingburger gotcha. He's actively lying about the cost of living, and I'm glad that someone at Fox has the courage to call him out on it, but this is a confusing and easily-explained-away example; "he was just holding up the pack to demonstrate what he was talking about, obviously he meant a stick!" They should do the price of gas instead.

Yeah, I buy good butter and it's less than a dollar fifty per stick.
If I just need butter in something with a lot of bigger flavors, I'll use the cheaper stuff. If I'm making a grilled cheese, toast, frying an egg, etc. where I'm gonna taste the butter, I usually use kerrygold. I try to buy it in bulk when it is on sale, though. It is considerably more expensive.
I wonder if he puts butter on his crudite?
A stick in a box like that is about a dollar but the box contains 4 sticks, what an idiot.
I mean, he did say a stick of butter is about a buck. A pound (4 sticks) is a little under $4 for me. So yeah, that checks out. Yeah, you almost always have to buy 4 sticks at a time but that also means you don't have to buy 4x as often (and butter keeps plenty long in the fridge).
I feel dirty for defending Oz, but this is pretty dumb to get worked up over. The dumbest part is using a unit that's common for use, but not for purchase. Which... Meh.
The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying "this stick".

No he didn’t. He just said “butter is a dollar”. He never specified “stick”
He did but not in the way the other user implies. The video in the article shows him pointing to the unopened box/pound and saying "this stick".

i've got one pound left in the freezer of what i got the last time it was 'on sale' for 99c/lb--almost two years ago, i think.. it had been a very long time since it was that low, and i stocked up a lil bit. this is the midwest, where there's lots of cows. low dairy prices used to be quite common.
OK Oz, here's lesson #1 for ya. Nothing costs a buck.
I just made butter at home from heavy whipping cream. It’s so easy and cheap, I’m never buying butter again.
Is the quantity of heavy whipping cream to make a stick of butter less expensive than buying the butter itself? I’m intrigued now and might try this myself. Does it spoil faster or anything?
If you are buying premium butter and you use the byproduct (buttermilk) then it may be close to break even. But yes it does spoil faster
$6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if you’re buying cheap butter or expensive butter.
You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all.
DIY Butter doesn’t spoil any faster and can be frozen.
It also just tastes a lot better.
Thank you so much. You’ve inspired me - I’m going to give it a try this weekend. I already make my own bread, so this will be a fun addition.
I used a whipping attachment on my food processor. I haven’t tried more manual methods since I’m lazy.
Just here to say I'm also going to do this! Didn't really ever think to.

The real crazy part about this is that butter is actually at like an all time low right now. The protein craze has made a great big market for wey protein wich used to just be a byproduct of making butter. So now there's a bunch of butter back stock which should lower the prices drastically.
He might not like it but his dog sure does😂🤣😅😆
That’s butt, not butter.
