Only Morrisons stayed the same, but as it's still the most expensive of all, at £12.02, there's little reason to celebrate. Four of the six supermarkets have this week hiked the price of butter again.

We're not talking a couple of pence either. At Sainsbury's, Tesco and Aldi, it's gone from £1.75 to £1.99, while at Asda it's gone from £1.75 to £2.
