Bit out of the blue, pound of butter gone back up to €3.39 from €2.99
That depends on when you are observing it fromWhen you write "back up to ..." that suggests to me that it was €3.39 previously. If so then surely it's not really a price increase but merely the removal of a price reduction!
If it is, it's not butter. Those products contaminated with palm oil are "dairy spreads" and cannot legally be described as or sold as butter.Likely full of palm oil. Yuk!
You did well but just to be sure I'd check the use by date.T'was €2.99 on Thursday when we bought one, lucky us
Don't think we "did well" per se, it's been that price in Dunnes for I'm reckoning for well over a yearYou did well but just to be sure I'd check the use by date.
According to the CSO a lb of butter hasn't cost less than €3, nationally, since September 21.
I keep a tub of Lidl gold spread in the fridge for emergencies, it is one of the better spreads - an emergency is defined as either running out of butter or butter too hardI don’t care how much real butter costs, we’ll still buy it. All the other spreads are Yugh!
Fully agree, yes these spreads are fully of palm ooils and other cheap fillers/...If it is, it's not butter. Those products contaminated with palm oil are "dairy spreads" and cannot legally be described as or sold as butter.
Some staff members in my local CENTRA insist on slathering dairy spread over bread & rolls when I say "butter" in response to the question "Butter or Mayo?" I've now taken to walking away rather than argue about whether staff calling a product "butter" magically transforms "dairy spread" into a different food. I told the manager that he needs to invest in service staff training. In my days working in retail as a kid during summer holidays, the customer was always right.
