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

[Frostine]

Went to Sainsbury's this afternoon . Wow !

Butter counts as an essential item in my book. No lard on my toast, thanks

Oats are healthy.

Husband made some butter at the weekend - paid £1.20 for two yellow stickered double creams and got two blocks of butter from it one of which we have frozen. Took him 10 mins and it’s delicious

Looks like it takes about one and a half minutes plus squeezing time..

That’s your call to take the opinion of two academics who are not active researchers in this field over a few dozen research scientists who are just as reputable.

I tend to be a bit more cautious. It’s not wrong to inform people of recent research on diet and cancer and let them make up their own minds.

Dripping toast, anyone? A delicious savoury staple of my childhood.

Agree the Aldi West Country butter with salt crystals is excellent.

Well I can taste the difference nad must sy that would not be my preference. I hate it when butter tastes of animal. Some butters just smell and taste rank to me!

Always had dripping on toast for breakfast on Mondays after staying with nan for the weekend.
It's now my occasional treat if we have a beef joint.

Not all butter is made equal.

kerrygold only here, as cows are grass fed.

The coffee is so they can slash the price later. I always buy that in packs of 6 large tins from Amazon. Lucky that I can afford to do it and have the space to store it.

I only use small amounts of butter on either scones or crumpets so will buy Waitrose French or President as I only buy it maybe once a month or so - apart from that use Olivia spread

We always have the Waitrose Essential - £2.25

Kerrygold is £2.85 in Waitrose

It’s depressing. Sainsburys is my local supermarket and the prices go up weekly. I buy the Kerrygold block and as mentioned it seems to have gone up in price every time I buy it.

I’ve made butter by mistake in my K chef - by whipping double cream for too long!

I feel the same about the price of cauliflower.

You can do it in a blender. It’s lovely but doesn’t keep out of the fridge. I only do it for special occasions.

Costco is the best place to get Lurpak butter! Very reasonably priced.

Waaaay cheaper in either Home Bargains, B&M or Farmfoods 👍

Do you think it’s to do with Bovaer (sic) stuff?
I know Country Life isn’t part of the trials.

This butter is lovely and a bit softer so will spread if you leave it out for about half an hour before using- I'm pretty sure it's Kerrygold in different packaging for M&S as it's made in Northern ireland and exactly same composition as the Kerrygold softer butter but works out a bit cheaper.

Save money, go vegan.

M&S all the way! My partner works for them so we get our discount too :))

Well spotted.
The sainsburys own organic is 250g though.

Currently in Tesco…£8.25 for 750g of Lurpack.

But it’s only 250g,I bought 500g in Tesco for £3.50 this week.I always look at the weight as some brands have cut the weight but kept the price…
