It depends. Usually lard is cheaper, because there's an easy way to obtain it. You find a really fat animal, and find it's blubber. Then put a needle into the blubber and suck out all the lard. Easy as pie! Ready to put on toast. But actually GOING to the STORE and walking AROUND to BUY butter, it takes too long and it's far too expensive. Who has $3 for butter? Not me. So Yeah. :)
The lard I remember always came in buckets, I think they were 5 pound buckets. I have seen it in one pound bricks. But adding a half a pound of lard seems like alot of lard, unless one is baking a very large amount.
A pound of lard is two cups and lard must be of a similar density to butter. Therefore one cup of butter weighs half a pound.
43 bucks jeez times have changed
In the 1930s, the price of lard varied, but it typically ranged from about 10 to 20 cents per pound. Economic conditions, such as the Great Depression, influenced food prices, causing fluctuations. By the end of the decade, prices were generally lower as markets stabilized.
