    I see that Lurpack spreadable has gone up from £2.98 to £3.25. This price is in Tesco, Waitrose and Lidl so I can only assume that it has been increased by Lurpack. This is a price rise of 9%. How can they justify this? I cannot afford this so I will not be purchasing Lurpack again and I have been a customer for many years. I have emailed them.

    E mailed them saying what?! Some people have too much time on their hands!

    the original lurpak is only £1.70 and much tastier

    And healthier as it's not blended with vegetable oil, it's 100% butter.

    But butter is 100% saturated fat which may not be healthy, veg oil is often monounsaturated.its complicated.
  • I blame the cows.Its an udderly high price rise.


    Moo-ve on, nothing to see here

    But butter is 100% natural and there's absolutely nothing wrong with saturated fats from natural sources. It's all a myth perpetuated by the food industry These blends are produced using hydrogenated oils which have been proven to be harmful to us.

    I can easily make butter in my kitchen. I couldn't make a blended spread though as it's been highly processed. I avoid all processed foods.

    Yeah I know - what next? People moaning about the ever-rising cost of petrol? Distress over spiralling energy costs? I mean, it's not as if this is a forum devoted to saving money, is it?
  • Gosh, some people are quite unpleasant on this forum! Are they trolls or just genuinely unpleasant?


    Food is going up weekly and for those on low incomes it forms a greater proportion of their costs. Yet inflation is only 2%.


    My post was not about the benefits or not or butter or spreadable butter but how suppliers can increase their prices by 9%.


    I will of course post any reply I get from Lurpack although clearly it is of no interest to some of these posters.
