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!

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.

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.
