Lurpak has soared in price over the past year, with the butter now costing so much stores are placing security tags on tubs
After costs peaked at £7 for a 750g pack, the Danish brand was forced to issue a statement explaining why prices were so high. They said “Prices on the shelves have had to rise in recent months. We understand that recent inflation in food price is hitting many households really hard right now.”
“Unfortunately, our farmers are facing a similar situation with prices for feed, fertiliser and fuel they need to produce milk, all rising significantly in recent months.” So we decided we would try one of the many ‘dupes’ now on the market to see if you can get pretty much the same thing for a small fraction of the price.
