$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?

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.

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

What's cooking butter? Unsalted?

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

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