price of butter

I use Tesco own brand of butter which is got up to resemble Lurpak - almost as good as the real thing and a bit cheaper.

Look on it as a treat. What else could you get for £3? Just don't compare it with nasty chemical marge.

Lurpack is £2 from Ocado.

I use Olive oil marg for baking and Benecol for spreading. Love the taste of Benecol. Like it more than butter.

Poo to chemicals Jane10 .

I buy Sainsbury's unsalted at £1.65 for 250gr. I use it on bread and whenever a recipe stipulates butter.

When I use all butter in cakes they come out heavy. I sometimes go for half and half.

Lurpak always, but I take it badly if I have to pay full price!

For a very special treat I buy President butter. It really makes any bread or toast taste wonderful. I don't buy it often as I want to keep it as a real treat.

I always buy President butter but have never paid more than £2. I use supermarket own brand unsalted for baking.
Just curious about ....
What brand of butter is £3? What part of the country do you live in to be asked that price? Which store was it ?
I ask because I once worked for a major supermarket and know that area 1 pricing exists . Ie London prices but did not realise there was 50% difference on items. Just curious!

This is what I based £3 on:

I think there's a price difference between soft and hard butter.

Yes. They charge more for adding a bit of vegetable oil!

I don't use a huge amount, but do much prefer it on toast or jacket potatoes. British butter only here - don't particularly mind which brand. I don't get the preference for Lurpak, had no choice but that when living overseas and it always seemed anaemic to me. In any case I prefer to support our own dairy farmers, not Danish ones.
Will never buy Danish bacon either, because of a) the factory farming issue, and b) again, supporting our own farmers.

Country life- always.

For cooking - Stork with butter.

Kerrygold anyone ?

Always Lurpac in the block! Kept in a cupboard not in the fridge.

Heart,circulatory,problems galore but I have nothing else but Lurpak. It's by far better for you than anything as it's all natural ingredients and my cholesterol has stayed low too.
I buy the 750g size every two weeks because I use it for cooking and baking. Price varies between £5 and £3.50 if/when on offer.

It's the jars of coffee that are ridiculously priced.

Yes! My daughters think I'm awful for not keeping butter in the fridge. It's fine.

(that was in response to Buffybee)

Ours is on top of the bread bin!

I’m a farmer’s granddaughter so it’ll always be butter on bread/toast, never marg, especially when you see the list of ingredients in it. I spend a lot of time in Spain and I use olive oil for cooking and salads. Cost is almost irrelevant- I’d rather eat less than eat rubbish.

Good post Carolina55. DH and I both love butter, but don't have it all the time so that we can really enjoy it when we do (don't use any other spread except the occasional peanut butter, just have dry bread or just jam when there's no butter). We buy organic, either Graham's or Tesco's. They are both made from UK milk and cost up to about £1.85 a block.

President butter, nothing else comes close. I buy supermarket butter for baking, but has to be President for toast and sandwiches.

On your link, two Lurpak butters are offered at £3.40 ie £1.70 per pack if you buy two.
I bought two packs of butter this morning in Tesco, Welsh butter was £2 and the other, Tesco's own English butter, was, I think £1.65.

Are you comparing like for like, ie by weight?
The spreadable butters are not just pure butter, they contain oils.

Ours is on top of the bread bin!
And ours - it seems the logical place!!
