They only sell it in 1lb cartons in my local store. The best prices are only available via shipping, which is "free" (not really since we pay for an annual W+ membership to get "free" grocery delivery).
Hi All,
I did want to report in that I did receive the package of Lard from Walmart this evening. I was fortunate on two counts, one that today was significantly cooler that the past few days and two, that I was home when it arrived so it didn't spend any time on my doorstep! I've checked the cartons and nothing is melted or even soft!!! Whew!!!
Have a good evening everyone!

Huh that price isn’t available here
edited to note that this is actually being sold by someone else, maybe that’s why it’s only available to some?
Interesting! When I went to check, I can see that it is being shipped to me by Food Service Direct. The price is now $133 instead of $33 that I paid (yes, I decided to spring for the big pail). I sure hope it wasn't on sale because it is near the expiration date!
This is what happens to me too. I can add ot to my cart at $35, then when I go to pay its $133.
I did get a message as I was checking out that "quantities are limited and may sell out soon." Apparently I pressed the Buy button just in time to get the sale price!
@Tammyfarms and everyone else, Glad I can help in some way! I'm a newcomer to making soap and the information that I've gleamed from so many of the posts on SMF have been invaluable in my successes and informative on my failures. Thanks All!
Happy Soaping everyone!

I am in North Carolina and I shop at Food Lion. For a long time I thought they only sold 1lb packages of lard, but they have an international section and that’s where the big tubs are
My 25lb /$34 bucket arrived last night. This weekend, I plan to portion it into smaller containers that will go into our garage freezer for long-term storage. The freezer already holds a whole bunch of rendered tallow in smaller containers. Now I can easily create smaller MB'd oil lots by defrosting one container each of lard and tallow, and adding my soft oils. Hooray and thanks again!
I've noticed that too in Walmart. They also have a section of an aisle for bulk items in grocery, but they move it around ~ I think the last time I saw it I was in the condiments aisle and they now have the condiments next to the frozen section. There you can find gallon jugs of condiments and other "restaurant" sized packages of other food items. Sometimes it's convenient because you don't have to have a Sam's Club membership to buy in bulk, but they can't fit everything in half an aisle so you won't find everything you need.
Yay I finally got in on this deal. When I first saw this post I
checked my Walmart app and everything was sold out but I kept checking every day. And found the snow cap for $1. 32 a pound, packaged by the pound.I bought the limit of 24. Then this morning
checked the app again and noticed the four pound snow cap bucket is on sale and in stock again for $5 and some change so I ordered three more. I love lard soap. So thank you to the original poster let me know to watch out for Walmart lard sales.

I went to the store in person and no sale prices, so thanks to @GinaDawn for the update (and @MichaelP for the initial heads up). One more note: if you buy at least $50 worth online you get another 20% off the total with the discount code WOWFRESH. I ended up paying about $1/lb!
ETA: you don't need a Walmart online membership to use the coupon/get free delivery, you just need the $50.00 minimum purchase on checkout.

You're welcome I was disappointed I missed out on the sale so I constantly checked the app. I'm sorry I should have stated that the store price was $2.32 but because I had them deliver it to my car in the parking lot that same item cost $1.32 a pound. Crazy I know. And it was not available at my local Walmart I had to drive to the Walmart that was about 15 minutes away. Now the 4 lb buckets that I ordered today will be delivered to my house. I do not have to go pick that up. Thanks for the coupon code!!

When I go to Walmart dot com, it still offers the 25lb pail for $33.47 with free next-day shipping/delivery (not available for store pickup). That comes to $1.34lb. It says there are only two left.
The trick it seems is to do a search for Lard, then click the Add button to get the 33 dollar price. If you click the item, the price (in my area) goes up to 129.
