Supermarkets add security tags to packs of Lurpak butter as the price of a 1kg tub soars to over £9 in some shops
Furious customers shared pictures of the popular brand of butter on supermarket shelves with eye-watering price tags.
Prices ranged from £6 for a 750g tub in Asda, £7.25 for a 750g tub in Sainsbury's and £9.35 for a 1kg tub at rival supermarket Iceland. And now one Asda store has even resorted to putting security tags on its tubs of Lurpak, a process normally reserved for expensive products, such as electrics, that are prone to theft.Shopper Charlie Bennett spotted packs of the product with yellow, security protected bands pasted across the lids in Asda.
The sports writer tweeted: "Britain in 2022… Lurpak butter is at £6 a tub in ASDA and even has a security tag on it. Mental!"Mental! 😂🤦🏼♂️
