Cost of Lurpak

[figbat]

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

Real answer? For waterproofing. These days it more about taste and common practice but the reason it started was to protect the delicate bread structure from meat juices that would cause it to go floppy and disintegrate.

Just... Don't buy it?

I dont like it anyway, since I stopped having butter any of it, I've stopped having bad heartburn/Indgestion etc.

The Sains equivalent often has a v slightly rancid flavour - I suppose they use cheap/old ingredients.
Never had that problem with the Lidl equivalent, which is the cheapest of the three.

Only ever bought the supermarkets own. It's just butter. Don't use much.

We have Lurpak - it's expensive but so worth it.
Anyway... my OH picked up what we thought was a big tub bargain a few weeks ago in The Range (I know, I know but we went there for odds and ends for the garden or toilet brushes or something). Turns out when we got home the £5.25 discount sticker was not honored at the till and it went through at £7.xx (bandits!) I don't think I have ever paid as much for butter

It's worth paying for good butter IMO. Love the crunch of the salt crystals.

Not really, we have the same problems down here with the increased prices. Theres ‘butter bread’ which has added fat which many locals prefer or ‘sugar bread’.

You have lurpack on your shopping list?

They do occasionally have Lurpak in the supermarket but it’s usually European brands. Our local has a tie up with Waitrose so get alot of their dairy products.

Lurpak is European - it's Danish.

Don't buy anything like that on a regular basis - very occasionally we have a crumpet-fest and get some of the crunchy, salty butter that Aldi stock.

Supermarket own brand here. Never liked the taste of Lurpak anyway so don’t care how much it is
