Even as a big tub, that’s a fucking ripoff. But this is to be expected where food will cost more and more to the point where you may as well just starve to death.
Has to be a pre-promotional price to allow for the “massive reduction” thing… doesn’t it?
There wouldn’t be a problem if we could just stop being poor.
Pretty much the reason I’ve stopped buying it now.
For those looking to alternatives, Lidl sell danpak which is pretty similar in taste and a lot cheaper. For now anyway.
Google: 2 FOR £6 LURPAK SPREADABLE
That is a kilo for £6
So don’t buy it? Other products are available that don’t cost £9.35
A kilo is 4 normal size packs
Cooking oils, butter and margarine have been the most inflation-affected FMCG in the UK.
I’m not sure Lurpak is the benchmark of starving to death.
You can get 6kg of pasta from Sainsburys for the same price..
For a while lurpak has been well over £2, sainsburys is about £1.70. Pretty sure lurpaks sat at £2.50 or more for a while so why is £9.35 for 1kg so shocking?
Yeah 9.35 but this is for that 1kg mega box thing.
Buy some real butter. It’s a game changer.
“Your everyday luxury.” – the advert slogan is now actual reality 🙂
£9.35 for a whole kilo?
That is 93p pr 100g, or about £2.3 pr a standard size Lurpak. That does not sound too outrageous? Am I missing something? Also you can buy it even cheaper online.
Also, who is buying a 1kg tub of spreadable butter?
I get 500g of butter for £2.35 this is just taking the piss
( Edit)
Which has now gone up to £4. That’s the end of butter in this house
It’s the end of times and I for one will be embracing the carnage, chaos and destruction
Just in case you are wondering
The official CPI is **9%**
The official food inflation component of this “basket of goods” has inflated by **24%**
Assume heavy massaging of both figures in several ways.

Edit for clarity
Brexit strikes again
If you aren’t buying danpak in Aldi then you are doing it wrong.
Til people actually buy branded butter
Almost the price of coffee!
Stop buying that shite and use butter instead, lurpak is straight up seed oil and absolutely awful for you
Can’t we just utilise that Brexit dividend to lower the prices?
Should be more expensive if not for dairy subsidies
Lurpak is produced by arla foods.
A farmer owned cooperative.
They exist to get the most money for their farmers
So you’re making farming families a living by buying jt.
Rather than making another CEO richer to buy a 4th home
Arla foods makes 3% margin. Which they invest back into the farms
It’s the supermarkets that are making a HUGE MARK UP on these products.
Why? So you buy their own label / other brands which they haven’t taken a price increase on (yet).
Yeah it’s for a kilo. That’s a lot of butter.

“£5.35 for a normal sized tub of Lurpak in Lidl,” another commented. “I am simultaneously shaking crying screaming and throwing up”.
