Come dice il titolo, cosa sta succedendo? Giuro che questo è stato 4 € l’anno scorso. La mia spesa mensile per la spesa è del 60% in più di 2 anni fa. Dicono che l’inflazione sia del 2%. Chi sta calcolando questo e come?

Great little country to do business in.
A good few things

buy the Centra/Tesco/Lidl block of butter, it really is the same thing.
Hey, you see that thing right underneath? The own-brand butter? Yea, buy that instead. It’s pretty much the same thing.
In large supermarkets (the ones with power over producers) they will raise the price of the 3rd party product and place their cheap own brand item right next to it to hurt its sales. This is to pressure the producer to lower their wholesale price giving more margin to the store.
Ever wondered why own brand products are randomly unavailable? When a producer behaves the way the store wants, the own brand item disappears for a while. That’s the whole reason own brand items exist, to exert pressure on producers.
Can ye all get a grip pointing out there’s own brand butter too? Even if there is is is absolutely BANANAS to be charging OVER A FIVER for Kerrygold
Treasure island and greed. Pure unadulterated greed. Enough said.
Inflation+ price gouging by supermarkets+ cost of living crisis that’s still ongoing.
Have to pay the cows a living wage
More expensive in Ireland than in other EU countries
You should see what the Americans pay for Kerrygold. You’d think it was actual gold, from Kerry. They fecking love the stuff.
You’re going the same direction canada did and many of you are unwilling to recognize it’s a bad thing
inflation along the supply chain.
That’s not all, have you seen the price of transporting a horse to France?
I don’t know but I suspect the solution is elect the kind of syphilitic cretin you wouldn’t leave your kids with and give them unchecked power.
I mean, it never works and people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but it might work for us.
I always buy the store brand for half the price and in my opinion just as good. Branded stuff is just a complete and utter rip off.
My cousin worked in a milk processing factory and all the same milk comes in but you pay extra for the Avonmore label. It’s literally in the same truck.
Looks like the going rate. In the UK here and 454g of Kerry gold is showing as £4.75 at Waitrose, reduced from £5.25. So the normal price is about the same as Ireland.
Stop shopping at dunnes. Price gougers
At this rate, it’d be cheaper to buy a cow and creamery equipment
It’s cheaper in coop here in London
Been discussed many times
Next to this you will have their own brand significantly cheaper and more profitable for the store so they sell that
Kerrygold put up the price here because of the tariffs on the butter in America. America is a huge market for them.
We switched to SuperValu or Dunnes own brand one depending on were we shop.

Kerrygold is like a global sensation. The New Yorker did a think of the best butters late last year and Kerrygold was on that list. A lot of chefs around the world talk about it too (I watch too many cooking programs from all over, and worked in many different kitchens between Europe and the US over the past 15 years). I think with all that hype and demand combined with inflation ya have this crazy price tag.
Probably a loss of profits due to decreased demand, due to tariffs… So they’ve simply increased the cost here to compensate. Economics 101 /s
Im currently in the south of Portugal and kerrygold in the local spar was 3.95. what’s going on indeed.
All caused by higher cow wages
For kerrygold the issue maybe that Ornua the parent company, had an export surge to the US in Q1 to beat tarrifs its potential they have put a strain on local supply as a result. Com statements its clear they are favouring export markets as a driver for growth.
its the same problem for beef so much is exported. Exporting is preferential over local sales it seems.
Inflation, inflation, inflation.
Get ready for more of it with the knock-on effects of the Trump Tarrifs and the Israel-Iran War.
vote with your wallet
How the fuck is it cheaper in my local Lidl aaaall the way down in Spain????
3€ and it’s the luxury option
“You could scrape all that butter off the spuds, André.”
I come out of Supervalu somedays genuinely depressed 😂
I gasped when I saw the price in Lidl today!
