Does anyone knwo where I can buy those little tubs of butter from? The tubs that you get at cafes etc....

I need to take a little bit of butter to work and i hate scopping it into a container - it's a hassle!

Cant buy them at supermarket...

Gilmours or Bidvest and the like would be my suggestion.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Don't you need to be a business to shop at Gilmours ?

The website doesn't say one way or the other, but I *think* my brother has been in there a few times for one-off purchases without any issues.

Stand by caller. Asking someone who should know this stuff.

I have a Gilmours account. I just made up a fake 'sole-trader' business name.

Had no issues

Moore Wilsons will have them for sure!

I have seen the occasional supermarket carry them, but usually in areas that get a lot of trampers/day walkers, and they are usually quite expensive comparatively.

Bidvest/Gilmours both sell them, I have accounts with both so not sure how they would do a cash sale.

Give them a ring, if you don't have any luck, PM me and I'll sort something out for you.

How about you just ask your boss to splurge on a block of butter in the fridge, then you wouldn't need to take your own.

Thanks for all your ideas and offers, I will have a chat with Gill.

There probably is butter in the fridge at work, but i work in a very large office and would rather my own tubs to be honest :)
