It's not the most detailed order because there's no volumes weights etc. But butter is butter. £1.76 for 2 packs.

@Thirstycarrot That's for 200g though. Butter used to be 250g before shrinkflation.

It was 2 for £2 fairly recently then 2 for £3 and then shot up in 2022

Wow the good old days !

A pack of butter from Ocado was £2.85 in 2023, it's now £3.65 for the same butter

I'm going to go back further though

It was £2.00 in 2020 and 2019

Country life butter
£1.50 Asda. Today.

This inflation example doesn’t seem at all bad to me

I did the same with an old grocery order, it was so cheap compared to now.

Will go and look!

Brand?

I'm really sorry my 54 year old brain can't remember what I ate on Christmas Day let alone what brand of butter I bought 11 years ago. 🤣

But probably Asda's own.

£1.99 for one currently in Tesco. And not on any kind of offer

doesn’t seem too bad to me

but as always, the devil is in the detail. Brand @How11yearsfly ?

In August 2015, NMW was £6.50 an hour, it's now £12.21

Electricity is also nearly double what it was 10 years ago.

These costs will both heavily impact the price of groceries.

Catisheavyonmylap · 08/01/2026 14:17

£1.76 for 2 packs of butter - those were the days!

SummerHouse · 08/01/2026 14:17

Wowsers. I think butter has probably increased the most of all (along with Heinz products).
