yikes - the price of butter

ckerrd

I am a butter user, not marg or any sort of spreads.

Interesting to see the difference in price.

President (french unsalted) in Morrisons £1.05 - Tescos £1.25

I stopped using margarine a couple of years ago and now only buy proper butter as I don't think butter should have a 'list' of ingredients. I use an old fashioned butter dish that I keep in the cupboard - mine is one of the old ones shaped like a little cottage (very cute!). Anyway, it keeps the butter perfectly and is easily spreadable - we only use one little pat of butter (not sure of the size but it is called 'English Butter' about 85p from Mr T's) a week and it stays fresh with no problems.

Agreed. Butter should be just that: Butter. Margarine does indeed have transfatty acids and can increase bad cholesterol in the body; avoid it. I buy pure unsalted butter (French President as another poster mentioned above).

Interesting idea to mix with oil/water/milk - might give that a go.
How long does it last when mixed with milk?

eh?

I love toast, but only use butter with Marmite. Everything else (jam, honey) goes on "naked" ... no spread at all. Better for me, better for my wallet.
