Lidl Drops Butter Price to €0.99 in Germany as Price War Deepens

Lidl says it is passing on lower dairy costs by waiving its margin to price 250 gram packs at €0.99.

Overview

  • Lidl announces that Milbona Deutsche Markenbutter (250 g) is now €0.99 nationwide, a new low after successive reductions this year.
  • Vemondo No Butter vegan spread is also cut to €0.99, aligning the plant-based option with the new entry price.
  • Lidl further trims prices on other lines, lowering Milbona Echte Irische Butter to €1.89 and Milbona Weidebutter to €1.49.
  • The discounter frames the move as a pass-through of cheaper raw materials while forgoing its own margin and maintaining payments to farmers.
  • The latest cut follows last week’s €1.19 pricing at Lidl, Aldi and Norma that returned key 250 g packs to 2017 levels.
