So in a bid to save money, people have come up with various ways to make their own butter - with one woman even using her washing machine to give it a spin.
"I bet you didn’t know you could make butter in a washing machine,"
She got together four things for the recipe - whipping cream, Maldon sea salt, a plastic bottle and some cling film.
"Add your whipping cream to your plastic bottle," she instructed.

"Once you’ve done that add some salt to taste and secure, putting some cling film over the top and putting your lid on tightly."
Then put the bottle into an old trainer, securing it tightly and putting the shoe inside a pillowcase.
"Put it in your wash and make sure you’re using a cold cycle with a fast spin," she said.
Once the cycle has finished, you can remove your bottle and inside should be a "thick butter".

"Put it into a dish of your choice and top with some more sea salt," she concluded.
"Easy peasy."
"When i think of all the money i’ve wasted over the years on clover ffs," one commented on the video.
"keep those lurpak tubs we could make a fortune," another said, tagged their friend.
However, others questioned just how real the video was - and what happened to the buttermilk that is usually produced when butter is made.
"This is clearly staged because you'd get some butter milk in the bottle!" one wrote.
