Yes Lynne, that's what I use too. The one I get is called Dairy Soft and is a mixture of butter and canola oil. It's much easier to spread than just butter, but still has the butter taste. I keep it in the butter conditioner in the fridge - cooler than a hot summer day but warmer than the main part of the fridge.

I used to get one of the good margarines, but apart from the fact that the taste wasn't as good, once I started to read some things about the downside of the margarine-making process, I went back to the soft butter because I think it is better for me, as well as tasting better.

Some margarines are actually quite expensive now, with all sorts of new gimmicks. I stay away from them.
