Cheapest place for butter

Comments

  • I bought some Emerald salted butter at Nisa yesterday 79p for 250g listed as an introductory price so it probably won't stay that cheap for long.

    The cheapest I got yesterday was 1pound a block from Asda.

    So........ on the freezing tip!

    How long do you defrost before using?

    Good question. I find you can stick a knife in around 2 hours, maybe not all the way through. You can scrape a little off before that, or zap it in the micro.

    Lidl 98p for 250g......Morning Fresh...Salted and unsalted. as on last Sunday. Best before 7 April.2013.
  • Marks and Waitrose also 1.19

    Kerrygold butter is now produced in UK and not Ireland. The past 12 months the quality dropped - it is far too soft and gloopy. No buttery taste. IMO
  • Tesco have Isle of Man Creamery butter on 2 for £2. Think it's usually £1.35 per pack. Very nice it is too. Oddly not on their website though?
