Cost of Lurpak

[jowwy]

Why are people in the media moaning about Lurpak costing £7.25 for 750g, but are not moaning about the same cost for 750g ( 3 x 250g blocks) for the same price for proper salted butter?? i dont get it

( but on asda website lurpak is £6 and a block of butter at 250g is £2......so both £6 for 750grammes )

it is the daily mirror though

Even when it was £5 for 750g it was expensive. I've moved over to Nordpak now. Not as nice but I can stomach the price, and it's a sight better than Willow

First I've heard of it. From my own observations while shopping, part of the general trend in prices of everything going onward and upward.

going back a couple of years but i wouldn't even pay £3.80 for 500g of Lurpak... i'd wait until Tesco's had their 2 for £5 offer on. If they can sell it for £2.50 they were clearly taking the p!ss with the £3.80 tag

I only ever buy it when it's on 'offer' in Tesco, won't bother now at those prices!
Don't use much anyway so will go for either Nordpak or Anchor (on offer right now)

ive always bought real butter in 250g blocks ( salted) and they are between £2 and £2.50.....i may try nordpak next time we shop ( we shop fortnightly)

Never bought butter or margarine, why would anyone want to put a layer of grease on their bread or toast? 😂

blended butter is no substitute for real butter if that's your thing.

flavour innit, like the fat on meat...its the best bit

If there’s ever any double cream in the yellow sticker cabinet, I buy that and make my own butter. Only takes minutes and is a fraction of the cost of shop butter. Plus I get the lovely buttermilk as a by-product to either drink or put in my bread recipe. 👍

I buy whatever is the cheapest in Morrisons. Currently Willow butter at 1.20 for 200 grams. Personally I couldn't care less about anything else. If you are not prepared to pay the price then buy something else which I do.

It's just more people complaining just because they can and it seems to be the society we live in today.

We gave up on spreadable a few years ago

Just use Tesco salted butter - cheaper and tastes better

Lurpak £10/kg, £1.35/1000kcal, 52% saturated fat
Tesco £2/kg, £0.69/1000kcal, 7.1% saturated fat
