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

Went to Sainsbury's this afternoon . Wow !

Thanks!

Making butter is easier and cheaper. You don't need a butter churner as you can use and electric mixer on a slowish soead to avoid the butter milk splashing. Wash well in cold water after draining buttermilk. Shape and use or freeze!! 🙂

This. Everything is going up....food is the only think I don't resent.

I wish I was good at £ conversion to $. But I'm sure here in the US our prices are higher.

What about the price of eggs in the UK? I paid $5.72 for one dozen extra large eggs in the midwest US. Many chickens are being destroyed by avian flu prevention which will make the prices even higher.

I get my butter at Costco as you are paying £3.79 for 500g of Anchor and £5.79 for Beurre D’Isigny. It’s the biggest saving item I buy

what do you buy instead?

Is it because of the bovaer additive and country life is not an Arla product therefore creating a supply demand ?

I've never done it but have read that you put cream into a food processor and keep it turning for a few minutes until the cream separates into butter and whey.
May have forgotten something though!

When I used to make yogurt I found it stopped working after a few goes if I used some of the old batch to make a new lot.
It was more successful if I always started a batch with a small bought carton of natural yogurt.

Kerrygold is decent and cheaper

£2.79 for 12 large at Aldi

Not even real
butter!!

Iceland - All types of Kelloggs cereal boxes - Normal size - £5 a box.

I've made our butter for years. 600ml double cream yields just under 400g butter. The cream costs me £2.45. You can churn the cream in a stand mixer or put it into a lidded jar and shake it long and vigorously. It's easy to do and the buttermilk is a bonus for scones or to drink as it is. Cream at its sell-by date is best.

Yeo Valley spreadable butter has gone up to £4.50! 😬

Butter, or spread? Unusual to find actual butter at that price, @florasl

@usernamealreadytaken block of butter, same price on Ocado too.

It’s getting much more difficult to find discounted cream unfortunately. It used to be be if those things you could always pick up in the reduced section. Not any more as more and more people make cream and icecream

If you're near a Farmfoods, Nescafe Azera is £4.99 for 140g. Much cheaper and a bigger tin!

We still get Yeo Valley milk, it's a lot

I feel like two cartons is close to Ocado minimum order. Not really, but still

Honestly you don’t need a butter churned, a stand mixer will do it! I’ve made butter simply by whipping double cream until it separates and then draining it in a new j-cloth or similar tied up in a sieve for a few hours. Then you can add a little salt if you like and shape it with butter paddles which I found cheaply on eBay!

I've never tried it but have been meaning to. Apparently you can use the whey you strained off as a starter. It keeps for around 6 months in the fridge (so they say).

I used to buy the Lidl version for 99p. I was in the store earlier this week and a bar was £2.15!

Jesus what a faff

I wouldn't go anywhere near Sainsbury's. Lidl all the way for me.
