$8 for a brick of cooking butter? Fuck off. (I got the off brand instead) What happened to making biscuits being a cheap activity you could let kids ruin just for fun?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Butter has definitely gone up. Even the cheap stuff is not so cheap any more.

1.20 for soda water too! Bloody joke, it was what, 80c this time last year?

I have a gadget for that one. Loves my bubbly water.

What's cooking butter? Unsalted?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. And in a block so it’s easy to measure. Not the spreadable tub stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Haha. I call it a block of butter but cooking butter makes sense. Aldi have cheap blocks.
