Butter can now be found on offer for 6 kroner in SuperBrugsen and Kvickly, while Lidl and Føtex follow with a sharp price of 9.95 kroner.

The low prices come at a time when food prices are generally on the way down.

New figures from Statistics Denmark show that food items in July were 2.1 percent cheaper than in the same month last year. It is especially several dairy products that have become significantly cheaper.

The largest price drops are found on butter, oils, and milk-based fats, which have become 11.8 percent cheaper. Cheese and yogurt have also fallen significantly in price, while several types of milk have also dropped markedly.

Meat is also among the items pulling food prices down. The meat in the refrigerated section that has fallen the most in price is pork and lamb.

The falling prices in the supermarket are good news for Danes' wallets.

That is according to private economist Brian Friis Helmer from Sydbank.

"Many Danes will certainly be cheering over lower food prices, as it means they have to dig a bit fewer kroner out of their pockets when paying for goods at the checkout," writes Brian Friis Helmer in an analysis.

But not everything has become cheaper. Fresh citrus fruits have seen the largest price increase among food items, rising by 16.9 percent. Also, cocoa drinks and frozen fruits, among others, have increased significantly in price.

Eggs have also become more expensive, while prices on other food items have developed more modestly.

Overall, prices on non-alcoholic beverages rose by 0.8 percent, while alcoholic beverages rose by 1.3 percent.
