Certainly not cheaper unless you get your cream for free. About 1 litre to get 500grams.

500mls gave me one of those half size margarine containers-375 grm. Also got the buttermilk. It was popular and nearly all done with hand held electric beater. I thought it would be fun to do with Grandies but in the end they did other things and I showed them the stages. Beat till you can beat no more, use wooden or heavy plastic spoon, put the lump together and work out buttermilk, getting all you can. Pour off and save buttermilk for cooking. Wash butter with cold water a few times till water remains clear. Spread out butter, make sort of holes and sprinkle with salt(optional). I think for that ammount I used less than a level teasp. of salt -can't remember but a little then taste. Work salt through and hey presto you have butter.

It certainly doesn't work out cheaper, wizardoo, unless you have your own ongoing supply of cream, but at least you have the advantage of knowing exactly what has or hasn't been added to it, i.e. salt or water.
