Butter Wars

The episode discusses the recent 9% reduction in butter prices across major supermarkets, examining whether this indicates a genuine turning point in food costs or is merely a minor adjustment. Shoppers share their mixed reactions to the news, while an accounting lecturer explains that the drop is primarily due to a significant European oversupply of cream, not a supermarket price war. The conversation concludes with an outlook on overall food inflation, which is slowing but not expected to see major price drops without geopolitical stability.
