Lurpak butter cost soars 37% to £5 as Aldi and Lidl dupes also rise 15% amid ... trends now
Shoppers are once again feeling the pinch as household staple food spreadable butter has shot up in price compared to this time last year.
The cost of a 500g tub of premium Danish butter Lurpak has shot up to a whopping £5 in some supermarkets compared to a cost of around £3.65 a year ago - a 37% per cent increase in cost.
