A thrifty mum made her own butter for just £2 to beat the rising price of Lurpak which currently costs up to £7.25 a tub.
Hayley Louise Minns, 39, wasn't impressed when the spread reached a record high over the weekend - prompting some supermarkets to protect it with security tags. So the mum-of-four made her own using two 300ml pots of cream she already had in the fridge, costing just £1.05 each.
It worked perfectly - and she used some of it to make buttermilk pancakes. Part-time nurse Hayley, said: "I was cleaning my fridge and noticed I had almost two full pots of cream in there. I knew I wouldn't use them - my husband forgets what he has bought sometimes and gets more - and I didn't want it to go to waste.
