ONE product has caught shoppers’ attention due its recent steep rise in price – a 500g pack of Lurpak Butter.
The household staple increased from £3.65 to £5 in one popular store.
The price hike comes after it was revealed that some Asda shoppers have set themselves a strict £30 limit for groceries.

Christine Scott said: “Inflation is 11 per cent so goods should rise at that rate. But I have a limit and will stop buying at some stores – and cut down on luxury items too. Play them at their own game.”
Briony Vivien Webb said: “Just need to shop around.”
Thelma Hey said: “It is popularity that keeps the price so high. If everyone buys a cheaper choice they will eventually realise they are losing their market place.”
