Lurpak

I love Lurpak spread but now it's £5 a tub I really can't justify the expense! What would be a good cheaper alternative? I am really not keen on margarine.

I use Aldis/lidl and have done for years. I can't bring myself to pay the price of lurpack! Tastes the same to me

Do you know anyone that has a Costco membership? 1kg is £6.50

I sometimes use the supermarkets own versions of salted butter/Lurpack. Spar’s is an excellent version and £2 for large tub and Tesco’s ok. Asda’s is not nice though, tastes rank. Utterly Butterly and Clover are nice. Also Bertolli is cheap, nice and extremely healthy so I prefer that now above unhealthy, expensive Lurpack.

Aldi Norpak

P00rKids · 11/06/2022 14:29

I’m due an Aldi shop, I’ll try Norpack

Expensive outlay but cost effective in the long run if you have a big garden.

😂 My teens would eat the cow before the milk came

Definitely Norpak, I ditched Lurpak for it.

How is Lurpak unhealthy? That whole ‘butter is bad for you’ thing was debunked ages ago.

poppetandmog · 11/06/2022 14:43

I love Waitrose's version. I actually think it's nicer than lurpak.

Dustyflash · 11/06/2022 14:45

I used to like Bertolli but I don't anymore. I think it looks like Aldi or Lidl is the way to go!

Butter isn't unhealthy in normal amounts.

Clover contains palm oil, as does Bertolli, which also contains all this: Vegetable Oils in varying proportions (38%) (Rapeseed, Palm, Sunflower), Water, Olive Oil (21%), Sweet WHEY Powder (MILK), BUTTERMILK, Salt (1.1%), Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Thickener (Sodium Alginate), Citric Acid, Natural Flavouring, Vitamins A and D, Colour (carotenes)

OP the Aldi version of Lurpak is fine as others have said. Shame it comes in a plastic tub though.

I tried Norpak cos lurpak is my favourite but it's not even worth eating
I didn't look forward to having it on toast or anything

jay55 · 11/06/2022 14:50

Tesco buttery is alright, not perfect but good enough given the price difference.

RoyKentsChestHair · 11/06/2022 15:01

I use Anchor spreadable as I prefer salted butter. It can be £4-5 a tub in some places, but I just buy 4 tubs when it’s on offer. If I run out I’ll use a supermarket spreadable until it comes back on offer, usually 2 for £6 or so.

P00rKids · 11/06/2022 15:09

I just thought it was supposed to be more fattening. Like extremely fattening? Might be just more to do with the taste and us wanting to put loads of it on toast, veg etc

Magenta82 · 11/06/2022 15:15

We got a butter dish and by supermarket own blocks of salted butter, or anchor from costco and leave it out so it spreads.

NancyDrooo · 11/06/2022 15:17

Norpak tastes nowhere near as nice as Lurpak, nor do any of the other imitations. I’ve tried them all and they are just not the same.

Try looking in B&M or a different supermarket for Lurpak, it’s always on offer somewhere!

CaptSkippy · 11/06/2022 15:17

I like Lurpak too, but I have gone back to margerine due to the price. Doesn't tastes like anything, but works all the same.

toastofthetown · 11/06/2022 15:24

I just have a butter dish, so it spreads easily (more easily than spreadable) from the countertop. Nicer too.

twoandcooplease · 11/06/2022 21:04

I agree with pp's Aldi is an excellent match and I'm a bit of a butter snob

Palavah · 11/06/2022 21:09

Buy a block of butter and stick it in a butter dish

SilverCatStripes · 11/06/2022 21:10

Kerry gold spreadable is gorgeous and 100% Butter so no hidden palm oil or other nasties , it is £2.30 a pack but you only need to use it sparingly so value wise works out ok.

Closedlips · 11/06/2022 21:13

We have supermarket butter at less than £2 a block and leave it out as well, I hate spreadable butter and the "alternatives" though.

That's what we do. Never understood the spreadable butter thing
