250g of proper butter (nothing else will do in this house) at the 99p Store.
They have opted for a slightly different 'shape' - a flatter, more elongated rectangle, but it's still the full 250g.

    Thanks Op, I'll check if we have one of those shops.

    If I have to get unsalted, I sprinkle a bit from the salt grinder onto the bread, that way I can still use the butter for cakes.

    No, 'tis the salted variety. The only variety for the discerning butter eater.
    Unsalted is one step away from lard, or 'pig butter' as I refer to it in company.

    Well in that case, here's a moneysaving tip-use lard instead. Bet you won't notice the difference....;)

    Asda has Anchor butter 250g for £1.00 at the moment. Have stocked up on a few for the freezer. Much nicer than margarine spread IMO.
