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.

Yes. if you have written the message there will be a settings button on the top right that allows you to edit or delete the message. I like it. Forums aren't as popular as they were in the naughties - FB groups have taken over, but I like the forum format.Scottiedog_3 said:Can you edit messages on this thing? It feels very primitive - like the old eighties bulletin boards!
Live the good life where you have been planted.
