price of butter

my OH doesn't eat butter never has ,or spreads .If he has toast for breakfast he has it with primula cheese spread from a tube or bacon .He has no idea I use butter to cook with .When we have a rare break away he takes his Primula with him

I buy Kerrygold as it’s allegedly from grass-fed cows. Tesco, Sainsbury’s just over £2.

I always buy Scottish butter. (I'm surprised you don't support Scottish farmers, Paddyann) The price varies but it's usually between £1.50 - £1.70 for 250g. If it's not too much more expensive I'll splash out for Scottish organic.

I keep it on the worktop in an insulated butter dish from Lakeland (oh no, will this be regarded as advertising?). It's not the cheapest dish but I've had for over 12 years and it worked well even when I lived in the tropics.

I buy all my meat from Scottish farmers ,local farmers suedonim my milk is delivered from a farm I can see from my window ,lamb from a friends farm at the other side of the village .My half pound of butter a week wont bankrupt them I'm sure .I buy Anchor because my youngest GD 's other GP's live in Wiltshire and she will only eat butter from where her Grandma stays .She doesn't eat cheese or drink milk so butter is our only hope of getting dairy into her diet .To be honest I dont really look at what it costs ,if I need it I buy it .

Lucky you, having cash to flash! We're retired so have to watch the pennies but I also buy as much Scottish produce as possible. There is no milk delivery service in this (ironically farming) area now but I get Scottish milk at the supermarket. Ditto Scottish organic eggs which are becoming more widely available now.

there had to be some benefits to running our own businesses for over 40 years,I guess making decent provision for retirement ..later this year or early next year is one .Its my idea of a nightmare having to scrimp at this time of life .I really feel for people like Waspi women who have had the rug pulled from under their feet .My friend is one of them and is stressed to the max when she should be able to relax after a 2 year battle with cancer ,Now her benefits have been cut as they expect her to get a job.She's 64 ..theres not a lot of employers taking on 64 year olds .

Tesco butter is nowhere near £3.
It's £1.60 for their British butter (salted/unsalted) per 250g block and that is virtually the same across all 'own make' brands. M&S butter was £1.50 last week (usual price)
Spreads are full of all sorts of other stuff, butter is simply butter with no additives except salt (if you want salted)
My preference is for French 'President' butter but @ £2 for 250g it's a bit much as I use butter in cooking and baking.
There are some brands that I don't like, Anchor being one.
I read something unsavoury about the company some years ago which put me off their products.
When there is an offer, I stock up and it goes in the freezer.
I never use spreads.

I agree with Poppyred
Full fat always. Milk cream yogurt butter cheese...yummy.
I also use buttermilk in baking.

Anchor butter is made by Arla, a co-operative started by Swedish and Danish farmers! But yes, that factory is in Wiltshire.

Lurpak £2.99 for 500grams from Costco. If you live near Uxbridge I’ll take you

Always butter and any oil should patriotically be Rape seed. What is this nonsense promulgated about hearts needing marge', yuck axle grease. My friend of 97 was praised by her heart specialist for sticking with great tasting butter. Own label butters are around £1.60. Spreadable a little more.

Always use butter for toast, sandwiches etc but use olive oil and Rapseed Oil for cooking. Keep my butter in a butter dish on the work top and my stock of butter is in the fridge. Now I buy butter costing about £1.45 or £1.60 and use unsalted which always seems to cost more. Also treat myself to farm butter sold in slabs in the markets and buy th low salt version and just love it. Don't know how much it costs as its all different weights and sizes. Last one was a huge chunk for£3.54 and has listed me ages. Will never change from using proper butter butter.

Always Lurpak for me. It spreads easily and tastes lovely. For a special treat I buy a block of Golden Cow, an Irish butter. It's great on toast but being a block it's hard to spread.

Butter only - it has essential nutrients, substitutes don't. Also full fat cheese & yogurt - vit D, omega 3, essential fatty acids ….. - no diluting oils.

10 seconds in the microwave softens it enough to spread without it melting, and we rarely keep it in the fridge, inishowen.

Always unsalted Lurpak. Rarely pay more than £2 and often see for £1.70

Always try to buy Scottish products but Lurpak is the exception.
It is £2.39 here for 250 g, the penalty for living in the highlands.

I only eat butter - it’s healthier for you. Kerrygold is one of the better ones as cows are grass fed, as is Isle of Man Creamery. I hate to think what’s in margarine to stop it hardening - antifreeze comes to mind!

I only ever use unsalted butter, after reading some of the ingredients in so-called healthy spreads. I buy Waitrose own, Sainsburys or President when it is on offer. Never pay more than £1.60.

Yes - Sainsbury's - English, you can have salted, slightly salted or unsalted - all much less than Tesco. And if its a problem - use it less often.

Anchor or M&S spreadable, and Stork for cooking. Because I'm on my own I don't use a lot of butter, so I divide it up and freeze it, the same with Stork for baking.

Lurpak here, its about £3 for the second size up, but i remember when my dad had a grocers,he used to get Danish butter in a slab, best butter i ever tasted, very light in colour compared to butter today,
I try to get Kerrygold too, as i was told it was organic,but not everywhere sells it
I have never heard of President, i wonder if its a location thing,i am in the north

My husband prefers Flora light or Supermarket own brand light spread. I can't use anything but butter. I have however got myself down from full fat Lurpack to Lurpak lighter. I have got used to this and tastes like full fat butter when you get used to it.. TRied Lurpak lightest. Yuk....just tasted light melted plastic. Recently shopped in Aldi for first time and tried their brand of Butter lighter. Good enough. Tasted as good as Lurpack equivalent. X. Lighter NOT Lightest! X

Lidl are loyal to our farmers and in my local store sell West Country salted /unsalted/with sea salt butter. I have never brought any other than British as I believe we should support our own and not only that but cheaper than imported.

I stock up on Lurpak when it is on offer but for baking I use Stork. It has never let me down.
DH has to have Benecol on advice of doctor so I stock up on that when it is on offer too as it is expensive normally.
