Price of butter

[Erica56]

I can’t believe that butter now has a security tag. The price is eye watering

Aldi’s own brand salted and unsalted was still £2 yesterday. In Asda it was £2.15. I fear other stores will be following suit if they haven’t already. I don’t need any more right now but will check the price in Lidl when I go there tomorrow

even our village shop has branded butter for £1.99. However, it is a pain to spread when straight out of the fridge, but in the summer it's too warm to keep it on the worktop. I do use spreadable "butter" in the summer, but real butter in Autumn/Winter

Well, I didn't.

@Erica56 buy proper butter.

I must look around though as 'my' butter has gone up significantly at 'my' supermarket. £2.30 last week.

@EmmaGrundyForPM I cut off a piece & put it in a butter dish & it's fine in the summer for a day or two.

Butter is fine at room temp even in the summer. I've always left my butter dish out year round. It takes us about a week to go through and it's always been fine. No need for fake spreadable butter

500g of salted butter from M&S is £3.85 on Ocado, i think it's possibly a bit cheaper in store.

Agree! my family goes through a pound block of butter each week. last week I was really shocked to find tesco's was now £3.99 (but also a 500g block now and not 454g for some reason), local NI brands are £4.75 😮

real Butter lasts practically forever. We have taken to stocking up whenever there is a really good sale. It also
can be frozen.

We keep a small amount in a butter dish on the countertop. We used to use a butter bell when we lived in a warmer area.

It was 2 quid on 20th of October. The cheapest now is 2.15, although people say you can buy for less than 2 quid in marks.

Yep - £3.80 instore for 500g, £2 for 250g (still cheaper than Aldi, I think)

In lidl and asda 2.15. Asda had anchor on offer for 2 quid and all was gone before the end of day. Sad times.

Sainsbury's seems cheapest for pure butter then.

My local shop has put security tags on the marmite

Lidl's in now at £2.15 - on holiday for a couple of weeks and it jumped up 16p!
