Butter, try Farmfoods. £1.10 for half a pound. Slightly smaller than the other supermarkets, but only by a few grams.Frugal Living Challenge 2025.9

If you look in lidl sometimes they have the double size butter which is cheaper again per 250g than the normal one.

I paid £1:20 in Aldi - it’s £1:60 in our Tesco. They’ve dropped loads of ranges in out Tesco which probably didn’t help xxLife happens, live it well.6

Thanks for letting us know about farm foods and butter, there is one nearish my dds so may ask her to drop In for me. I prefer butter to marg, but as its more expensive I'm more economical with it so it lasts about the same amount off time. I still use marg when making cakes etc though.
