... find fault with it. I even heard a whisper that it's made in the same factory as Country Life, although I cannot vouch for this. Tesco Value butter comes in a block of 250g, exactly the same size and shape as regular brands of butter. The packaging is dark, Tesco Blue with the stripy value logo on the front. It's actually much more attractive than the image displayed on the top of this review. The wrapping is the grease proof paper kind you used to get on Echo marge, which is fine for us as then it makes a great mediu...more

Tesco Value Butter: Cheaper than branded butter, but just as tasty (558 words)

Until a few months ago, we weren't really big butter eaters in our household due to the bad publicity that butter has had in the press from 'healthy' margarine manufacturers. We did buy it once or twice as a treat and the habit has stuck, we can't bear margarine anymore! The problem with butter is the price in comparison with margarines, which when you compare by weight is quite substantial. You also tend to use loads more because it's so tasty, whereas piling up the marge on your toast reminds me somewhat of melted then reformed plastic, thus increasing the costs and the chance of heart disease. But we love it, so we've decided to buy butter ... Read the complete review

I am am avid cake baker, and always exploring different ingredients to spice up the usual cakes, or make them at a lower cost to the same quality. The other day Tesco's value butter caught my eye due to its low price so I bought a block for a trial cake. The butter comes in approx 250g block, which is normally enough for me to make a cake and the icing. The block is wrapped in red and white striped paper (not blue and white which is strange). I am not sure if the packaging is recyclable or not, which would obviously be a bonus. The picture on the packaging is quite basic, and nothing ealborate or funky, just like you expect from a basics range. The ... Read the complete review

Tesco Value Butter: Lesser or Better Butter? (361 words)

I'm not really a frequent butter user, as I prefer to put 'Lurpak Spreadable' on my sandwiches, crackers, and whatever else needs a bit of moisturisation. That said, I do occasionally perform a bit of baking, and for that purpose will buy a block of cheap butter to use amongst the ingredients. Costing 75p for the 250g block, Tesco Value Butter is actually one of those cheap lines which isn't massively different in price to the big name brands - 'Country Life' for example will only set you back around 20p more for the same size. Tesco's value-esque butter comes packaged in the familiar red, white and blue branding, which, on this occasion is in ... Read the complete review
