Freezing butter

This is a deeply personal question. Do you freeze your butter?  I do. That's how I store it. Butter from Costco is significantly cheaper that butter from the grocery store. I keep a couple of pounds in the freezer so we don't run out and I have extra for baking. 

One of the problems of freezing a pound  of butter is only half a pound fits in the butter dish. Until today I have chipped the frozen pound in half to get a lump about the right size. Frozen butter is not particularly cooperative in this regard. 

Here is my solution 

Cut the pound in half

Wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil

Label and freeze. Now I only have to thaw the size butter lump that fits in my butter dish. 

Simple! Why did it take me this long to think of it?
