price of butter

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.

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.

Ours is on top of the bread bin!

(that was in response to Buffybee)

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

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.

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

Kerrygold anyone ?

Country life- always.

For cooking - Stork with butter.

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.

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

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

This is what I based £3 on:

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!

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.

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

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

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

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 .

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

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.
