OMG - Look at the price of this in Sainsbury's !

[Frostine]

Went to Sainsbury's this afternoon . Wow !

It's been around the £6 mark for ages, it's always been quite expensive for instant. I buy the decaff version, it's usually on offer, but if I ran out and it was for sale at that price, I'd buy it.

The beef isn't with farmers; it's with Sainsbury's being way out of line with other retailers.

Just bung it in a food processor if you have one, beat the heck out of it with an electric whisk, or, if all else fails, put it in a jam jar with a marble and shake til butter forms.

It's so piss easy to make, once you know how.

£3.90 for a tiny (100g) bag of pine nuts in Tesco. Needless to say, I didn't buy them!

I’ve just this hour moaned about this to a friend. Doing the Tesco order tweaks for collect tomorrow. A block of Tesco own salted was £1.79 last week. Now £1.99. I’m working my way through the rest of the order with dread.

I’ve started making my own but I can get hold of cheap double cream.

My favourite Christmas gift was some butter paddles 🤣

I made some lovely chilli butter at the weekend

Most likely

It’s been like for a good year now, I only noticed as I’d picked up Sainsburys own then saw Anchor which I prefer cheaper, only when I put anchor butter on top of the Sainsbury butter did I realise that the packets were slightly different shape. The anchor was a 200g pack.

Could I do this in a kenwood chef with the whisk attachment then? I like salty butter and therefore I’d like to try.

There’s always one on offer and that’s the one I’ll get.

Looks like it’s Lurpak this week. £1.90 for 200g, with a Nectar card.

I'm in the States and I pay $8.50 for a small tub of Kerrygold butter! Think yourselves lucky!

Best butter ever.

Your food costs are one of the most expensive in the world right now, even higher than Australia's I think, but your gas/petrol is much cheaper, and your salaries are much higher and tax lower.

If I factor in my time at a £25 / hour, it becomes rather more expensive…

I think you can use a blender or food processor to make butter out of cream.

Completely missing the point but the French salted butter in Waitrose is fantastic we say it's like crack cocaine here as it's so addictive!!

And you have to watch the weight of butter now! Several brands are only 200g rather than 250g!

I used to buy Sainsbury's dark chocolate whole nut bar which was £1.70 for 200g.

I went to buy it last week and was shocked to see that it had increased to £2.30 an increase of more than 35%.

I was in Sainsbury's again today and as I was passing the chocolate section, I had a quick look in case they had made a mistake and I was right, they obviously had made a mistake because instead of charging £2.30 they were now charging £2.50 😲.
That's a total increase of 47%!

I think it was £2.60 last week when I bought it.

Broccoli is 99p in Lidl at the moment. I had to look around to make sure I wasn't in Waitrose.

Pisses me off when they do this!

Have you seen the cost of Lurpak on tesco now? Over £8 for a large tub. Ridiculous!

I always bulk buy my butter when there is a good deal on. It freezes very well. I keep my freezer well stocked.

U can literally just use a hand blender it's easy just keep buzzing till it looks like butter and milk, then rinse the blob under the tap.

It goes rancid way quicker than shop butter so u need to eat a lot

I'm sure if we stop paying these ridiculous prices, they would reduce them!

Particularly if it's not really an essential item
