Yikes! $13 for 8.8 ounces of butter. Time to switch to roquefort?

I'm about to embark on my "Scandinavian baking" weekend. I have 3 lb of butter softening...that would be around $78 worth of butter!

Norway butter shortage threatens Christmas treats - Times LIVE

From link:

The shortfall, expected to last into January, amounts to between 500 and 1,000 tonnes, said Tine, Norway's main dairy company, while online sellers have offered 500-gramme packs for up to 350 euros ($465).

and...

Last Friday, customs officers stopped a Russian at the Norwegian-Swedish border and seized 90 kilos (198 pounds) of butter stashed in his car.
