Decent tasty margarine in a wrapper, not plastic tub?

I hate waste, and plastic packaging... but I like a bit of butter on my toast in the morning.

But butter is a little bit on the saturated fat side and would prefer to use something a little more healthy.

Does anyone know of tasty healthy margarine-type things that don't come in tubs, but are wrapped in foil/paper instead like butter?

cheers in advance.

    Only ever seen Stork in a block,
    but even that is becoming very hard to find

    I use it for baking, so would be interested too in finding an alternative.

    I'm not sure I'd like stork on my toast though - isn't it more for baking?

    Alternatively, the tubs come in very handy to store small amounts of stuff in the freezer.

    what about buying the largest tub you can find (catering size, possibly from Makro?) which would last a long time and then the tub could be reused for something else.

    Thanks for the suggestions - I'll see if I can find some wrapped Willow spread as I don't tend to have too many leftovers, living on my own!

    cheers

    Well it would be more like (at a guess) 40-50 plastic tubs a year!
