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

[Frostine]

Went to Sainsbury's this afternoon . Wow !

I buy the mini chocolate bars in Aldi, the moser roth ones
Noticed they had gone up quite a bit recently

Because they prefer it

It's not. I shop between the two and sainsburys is approx £40 cheaper for my weekly shop.

This. Supermarkets are taking the absolute proverbial.

Not cold pressed rapeseed oil. That's a luxury product that only makes up a tiny proportion of a very few people's diet.

Tesco is doing half price on club card! I only get it then.

I buy this from Amazon in bulk-it's about £29 for 6 x 90g

Actually, it's 6 x 140g-much better value and I drink a lot of it at work.

I find it really annoying that they now sell those Jasons loaves (eg sour dough) in cellophane bags and when you look at them you realise they baked a whole loaf then cut it in half and still charge £2 for half a loaf.

what a rip off!

I make my own yoghurt now. So easy and you don't need the expensive sachets...just milk,some left over live yoghurt from the previous batch,and dried milk powder( optional). Cuts down on plastic tubs too and it's way healthier because it doesn't have added sugar. Agree making butter is easy too. So with butter,bread,yoghurt and soups I'm practically a home made domestic Goddess now! I haven't yet made jam but I have lots of friends who do and are happy to share.

Country life is a very superior butter and worth the money imo. Not all butter tastes the same.

If you want to make yourself feel seriously depressed, go onto your online supermarket shopping app of your choice and scroll all the way back through your orders… find an order from this time last year and see what your total was then click “add all items to basket” or “shop this order again” or similar and see what the price is now 😮

YeoValley is only 200g. Be careful

I tried making butter this way with my dc. Very easy, just used a small pot of double cream and shook it in a container until it turned to butter. Got a decent sized butter block from it.

Exactly! Not that hard to work out!!!!!!!! As a pp said, Country Life is an amazing butter, it tastes delicious, and no, all butters do NOT taste the same!

I popped to M&S for a few nice things and got their niice butter - it was £2.85 jerky butter with salt

Sainsbury have to make up for their Aldi price match in other places and butter is a staple household grocery shop

id go for French butters, particularly president to my taste they are nicer but everyone is tasting things differently

Aldi: its version of Lurpak is nicer and cheaper and the coffee alternative was £2 something the last time I bought some. Wouldn’t know the difference.

Make it in a stand food mixer or even a blender, I use a lot of butter and have been making my own for a few years now

If you think the added cost of this ( and other products ) are going direct to farmers / producers you are deluded .

We tried switching to cheaper brands of real butter but were unhappy. Now we just stock up when it goes on sale.

I make my own butter

It works with a hand blender.

I use free cream I get off olio

Does it matter what temperature the cream is: fridge-cold or room-temperature?

I just use it from the fridge
