SOCIAL media has been awash recently with complaints from people about the cost of butter.
Lurpak, in particular, has drastically increased in cost, with a 1kg tub costing a staggering £9 on Ocado.
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 wrote over a video on the AO Instagram account.

"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.
