In my region of Scotland the 250g og Grahams butter is 49p on the halfprice weekend deal this weekend coming. However it's just your luck when I went the last time it was on they didn't have any left.

Which supermarket is that in. ixia. I didn't see any signs of that in Lidl yesterday and I am not too far from Glasgow

I hope no-one minds if I resurrect this thread - but just had to report that I popped up to Mr T's at the weekend and they had 500g blocks of Lurpak slightly salted for £2.00 (not the spreadable). This doesn't seem to appear on mysupermarket or on their own website, so I'm not sure if it's a local deal or national. Not too many left on the shelf though. At that price I've stocked up :j (but I did leave some for others )

If anyone is a President unsalted devotee, 250g is currently 1.25 at ASDA, Morrisons and Waitrose.

Butter is healthier than any margarine or oiled spread.

Diet coke or any diet drink for that matter is not healthier at all. Aspartame the artificial sugar is bad news, 13 % methanol by weight which forms Formaldehyde when it drink it. if you want to get MS and eventually alzheimer's, drink it if not drink the full sugar version or better still drink water (filtered or distilled)

insects won't eat margarine or aspartame as it kills them. fly's won't even eat margarine and the eat !!!!! lol

Rubbish about aspartame, really, uninformed tripe. Look on Snopes about this myth. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp
Tomatoes, citrus fruits and booze also contain methanol in much higher quantities than aspartame.

As a former Diet Coke addict my personal view is that it's not the healthiest stuff around, period.

My personal preference is butter, it just tastes so much better. My father was diagnosed with high cholesterol when I was a kid. Instantly out went cooked breakfasts and butter and in came low fat everything and Flora. Didn't stop him getting heart disease at all.

I went organic because I was shocked by Tesco adding glucose syrup, additives and 11% water to plain pork loin steaks. I didn't want to eat adulterated food which wasn't labelled properly.

Organic can be expensive, but additive free doesn't have to be. Organic can be found in Aldi and Lidl and additive free everywhere. Manufacturers and supermakets add a load of this stuff to add more value for themselves. They never have to prove that it won't make us sick over several years, only that it isn't immediately toxic.
