    Country life spreadable 500gm 2 for £4.00 at Tesco's and 70p off coupon in free Tesco magazine one per product so potentially £1.30 for 500gm , as good as you are going to get for a while.

    if you don't use much butter - i only tend to have it on jackets - have you considered trying butter buds? thy're little packs of powder which melt and taste the same as butter last time I got some it was about £4 for 100 from lakeland
    Now £4.29 for 40.

    Both Lidl & Sainsburys Basics are £1.10 (for those who do not have a large Tesco, Aldi or Asda nearby). ;)

    Kerrygold's 'spreadable' butter in the tubs which used to be pure butter with just salt added (that I always bought) has now also been diluted with oil like all the other 'spreadable' kinds, I noticed today! Pushes down their costs of course and basically gives less actual butter for the money (price hasn't changed).

    Thats a shame:(
    Are there any spreadables that are almost all butter now then?

    & Waitrose seems to be the cheapest.

    Milk and more are doing willow butter for 50p a block at the moment...i'm stock up as much as is sensible!

    Willow isn't butter, it's a vegetable spread shaped and packed like butter to fool the unsuspecting into thinking it's butter.

    i had to buy the asda butter saturday night at £1.10 tastes alright though but i agree it has gone up quite a lot recently
    i also had to buy milk with a red top,wife said i would hate it as its watered down rubbish, but it brings the flavour of the tea out and its cheaper too:cool:
    im just waiting for the thread where trifles are unobtainable for 33p anymore and im going to lose the will to live:D
