You can keep butter for a long time in room temperature if it is submerged in water (e.g. in a pot). It also spreads really well, but your bread may get wet if you are not careful.
Something that I learnt in post-1989 Czechoslovakia when we cut down on our electricity bill by turning the fridge off for weeks :) Ancient knowledge of my grandma who grew up in eastern Slovakia without any electricity served us well.

Fridges made behind the Iron Curtain in the 1980s were a lot more power-hungry than today and our specimen had some non-tight seals on top of it. Buying a new one was out of question, our budget back then wouldn't support it.
