What the HELL happened to the price of spreadable butter?!?!?!?

[anonymousbird]

That's it really.

Lurpak spreadable is TWO POUNDS NINETY EIGHT PENCE!!!!!

I don't always buy it, only when on offer, but I'm sure it was closer to two pounds not so long ago...

Try mysuprmarket.com for the best deal

Mmm toasted scone

I might try that Molecule.

a thin scraping of lard is much cheaper

Tilly you have hit the nail on the head.

Spreadable butter is not as nice and it's not actually spreadable so what is the point?

It is too spreadable, Lurpak spreadable is deliciously spreadable, my scones are safe with it.

Another one who cannot be weaned off Lurpak. I have tried all other brands (including Lidl own brand) and they just don't taste the same.

The price of all butter is horrendous. Most things just creep up imperceptibly in price, but butter has noticeably rocketed.

gramercy you're so right. I'm generally oblivious to price rises but butter's the one thing I've really noticed going up a couple of pennies every month, or more. I do a lot of baking - a tin of homemade shortbread or a cake used to be my cheapie present option, but now it's not!

Sorry, Lurpak only here. I get mine in Costco, 1kg for the same price as 500g in Tesco. Of course it means I have to schlep all the way over to Croydon but I feel like I'm getting it cheaper :o

And it doesn't have 'nasties' in, just butter and vegetable oil. At least that's what my tub says.

Tesco finest Irish butter is lovely for those of you who shop in Tesco.

You do all know that if you buy slabs of butter than are salted you do not need to refrigerate them dont you? so they are therefore spreadable...

And British butter is yellow and sickly, not white and gorgeous. :)

I only buy butter and keep it in the Lakeland double insulated dish. There is a spot in my kitchen that keeps it perfectly spreadable -summer and winter.

I like President and waitrose own brand. Actually I love President and always have it on the go (and just use Waitrose for cakes)

We use Vitalite for sandwiches and DH uses it for toast as well, but other wise it's proper butter. We use whatever is on offer, except if it's a continental one. My preference is for Dragon butter (it's a Welsh brand that also do cheese!).

We once tried the anchor spreadable and despite it being summer and the tub being in full sunlight for 3 hours we still couldn't spread the fucker. We went and bought a tub of vitalite straight away.

It has shot up in price though- I know that feed for the cattle has shot through the roof this past couple of years, my Bil is a dairy farmer.

The dairy farmer by me feeds his cattle fruit and allsorts. The lorry turns up and then just tips loads of melons and things onto the yard whilst all the cows stand there salivating over it!

Dairy farmers are really in dire straits atm though arent they? The price of milk has drastically been reduced. Even in Waitrose it is 1.85 for SIX pints :( They said unless the farmers are willing to expand their herds then it will cost them more than they make in profits. I know the farmer by me has expanded quite alot but the work it must involve for them must be HUGE as they are family run

just bought lurpak 500 gr butter at spar £4.16 WHAT A RIP OFF
