Hi Carol,
I've come across a few studies that reported notably different moisture contents among brands of butter. The differences can be as wide as 12.5% to almost 17%. So the answer is yes, brands can vary, but that doesn't necessarily mean that less expensive brands have more water. You'll need to do a little bit of research about the specific kind (and brand) of butter you're interested in. You can also poll our knowledge on the Hotline by calling 855-871-BAKE(2253) if you have something you'd like to try. I hope that helps! Kye@KAF
