Whether you spread it on your toast, drop a dollop into the frying pan or use it for baking, butter is considered a must-have in the pantry for many of us.<\/p>\n
But some shoppers in South Auckland are going without it and other dairy products because they are simply too expensive.<\/p>\n
In some suburbs, a 500g block of Anchor butter is hovering near or above the $10 mark at some Pak’nSave supermarkets.<\/p>\n
But there is a massive discrepancy between different suburbs in T\u0101maki Makaurau, with some in lower socio-economic areas paying the higher price.<\/p>\n
It was pricier for shoppers in only some suburbs like at Pak’nSave in M\u0101ngere, where a 500g slab of Anchor butter was selling for $10.39 on Monday night. That price has come down to $7.99.<\/p>\n
But at Manukau Pak’nSave a block was $8.49, and at the Lincoln Road Pak’nSave, it was $9.99.<\/p>\n
