Price of butter

[caslass]

When shopping I tend to buy what I want without bothering to look at the prices. Today when I was in Asda I noticed that 1/2 pound of Lurpak was £1.36. I couln't believe it. ( I think I must have been asleep for the last couple of years) I love Lurpak, but now I know the price of it, will I carry on buying it? I would like to say no, but I know I will.

And that's why they charge £1.36 then, it's no good moaning about it, then buying it anyway.

Incidently, Anchor is on offer at Co op for £1.00 at the moment :-)

Waitrose do a very nice own brand butter at 89p. And it has gone up only recently - a few weeks ago it was only 75p. It's called Waitrose Essentials.

(Evening all).

Mrs. C - how did you get on with your range stove ?

[caslass]

The thing is I know what I like and I like Lurpak. I was brought up on margarine, I'm not complaining about that, but now to me if it's not Lurpak it tastes like margarine.

Hiya DEN. I asked the seller if he would mind offering it to the second highest bidder (there was only a £2 difference). He didn't sound overly pleased but I hope he sees my side of things and gets the quick removal he wants.

I was thinking after I read your post yesterday Mrs. C - suppose he had'nt got any bids and it never sold - would he have still put it outside - I bet he would'nt have put that on his listing either.

Sounds like a good result though Mrs C. apart from you never got your stove.

Lurpak was on offer at Tesco £1 a pack , I buy it and freeze it
when it's on offer , this was friday , so it might still be on promo ..

Thanks DEN. I got the impression he was very keen to get rid of it to make room for a wood burner which he was taking delivery of this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if he was willing to just scrap it. He told me he wasn't bothered how much it went for, as long as it was out of his kitchen by this weekend.

I hope he managed it. And I also hope he doesn't leave me a neg. I don't think he will as I felt that he (sort of) agreed that it was a mistake for him to leave time limits off the listing.

[caslass]

I'll check on that. Thanks theonlyone. Cas

Sorry to go off topic, cas. Good idea about freezing the butter when it's on offer. I've never tried that.

[caslass]

Just checked tesco website. It is on offer until 23rd feb. I will be stocking up tomorrow. thanks to everyone for their input. Cas

mrs.c it freezes ok , just defrost at room temp, semi-skimmed
milk freezes well but not full fat .Happy shopping if I see a person with
a trolly load of butter I will know who you guys are !!!!

I never pay more than £1 for any butter, buy when on offer and freeze it! Sainsbury had farmhouse butter from the fresh counter for £1 at the beginning of the week.

[mrs.chappie]

Hiya tonly. I always get extra milk and freeze it, saves trips to the supermarket, but I never thought about freezing butter.

Thanks for the tip!
