As energy prices and living costs continue to surge many shoppers are looking for cheaper alternatives, with many of us turning to own-brand items in supermarkets.
ASDA has been popular with many shoppers for its own-brand products thanks to their low prices, however, recently shoppers have noticed things increasing in price, and they're not happy.
On social media, some shoppers were disgusted to find the price of ASDA's own-brand blocks of salted and unsalted butter. On the Scrimping on a Budget Facebook page, Yadda Yay shared a picture of the blocks of butter, which now cost £2.15 each, reports M.E.N.

Captioning the post, the shopper wrote: "Madness." Many people agreed, and pointed out that the same item now costs less in Marks and Spencer.
Angela Brand said: "Don't buy it... if shoppers refused to pay this, the supermarkets would be forced to reduce their prices." Lindsey Nicholas said: "Absolutely!! Disgusting charging so much. Used to be 49p last year. Won’t use marg or anything else though. Might as well put Castrol on your bread. I’ll go without if it increases any more. Then who will it be sold too?!"
Nicole Christie said: "Ironically if you have an m&s near you they are cheaper like £1.75 or something near there for stick butter."
Nicola Fairclough agreed: "Cheaper in marks and spencers." Helen Sore agreed: "M&S £1.75 FOR BUTTER."
However, shoppers did point out that there are much cheaper alternatives at ASDA. Lesley Carter suggested: "They sell a brand called willow for a out a quid and its nicer." Stacey Horan agreed: "Our Asda does a brand called Willow. Only £1 and all fine." ASDA has been contacted for a comment.
