What butter and spread have you downgraded to?

[heartbroken22]

Anything similar to anchor butter and the anchor spread?

Bumping this! Can't believe the tea thread took off!

Are you doing a feature?

Never, I hate Anchor butter and will never buy it. However you cannot beat a bit of good UK butter

I buy Aldi butter. It's not a downgrade- that's what I always buy.

Hate Anchor. Buy Tesco own brand.

We haven't.

Can't beat Lurpak, and I could tell the difference (yes even the Nordpak).

I just get on offer now where I can.

I've always bought whatever Scottish salted butter is cheapesat in the supermarket I'm in. Markies surprisingly is often really good value for milk/ butter. Not a fan of anchor / lurpak/ branded butter.

Country life from Lurpak.
Its cheaper and it’s British.

@Darkbountyismissing naah I need to start saving more money. Can't be paying close to a fiver each for tea and spread.

Tesco or Aldi own butter. Won’t touch any spread with a barge pole.

I switch between the Aldi butter and the Irish butter forgot what it's called...it's just the anchor spread my kids love.

Started making my own so quick and so much cheaper.

For proper butter, we just get whatever's on offer. I've never been able to find a spreadable butter (in a tub, for when it's too cold for proper butter to spread) that's as good as Lurpak though.

I buy M&S

the own brand of wherever we are shopping, I can’t really tell the difference between that and the anchor I used to buy

We love Countrylife. I've converted many people to it!

What has happened with butter? Why does it need to be downgraded?

I usually buy M&S salted butter or occasionally another brand as long as it's salted.

They also do a softer butter which is a butter mixture which is ok for sandwiches with lots of fillings but I prefer salted butter for cheese sandwiches.

We’ve downgraded to Flora plant butter

Salted proper butter. I'm unwilling to compromise.

Some things I'll never substitute and real butter is one of them.

M&S Unsalted. We don't use much butter at all so it lasts for around 3 weeks!

M and S spreadable butter and president spreadable are quite good.

They are no soft like spreads but softer than butter. m and s is just whipped butter, the president I think has some cream added.

@MariePaperRoses

Erm the cost has gone up

Lidl lightly salted spreadable butter. Have always bought this.

DH & the kids have Countrylife Spreadable Butter; I have Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Farmhouse Butter.
