Substitutes for shortening are butter and margarine in sticks. Use the same amount as called for in your recipe. Keep in mind, plain shortening will NOT be as flavorful as butter or margarine. Do not use soft margarine in a tub as it contains too much water.
Each stick of margarine equals one-half cup. So it would take 1 1/2 cups soft margarine to equal 3 sticks.
4 sticks.
2 sticks equal 1 cup
Margarine is made of hydrogenated oils, butter is made of milk, the melting point of them are different. Butter has a high cholesterol level while light margarine has a low level. Margarine has a yellowish color, while butter has a deep yellow color. Margarine is much more recent than butter.
12 tablespoons of butter is equivalent to 3/4 cup or 1.5 sticks of butter.
8 tablespoons butter equals 8 tablespoons margarine

Well a cup of margarine is 1/2 pound (2 sticks typically) and a pound of margarine should be around (usually cheaper than) a dollar. So a cup of margarine if you can find it in the small of a quantity should be around 50 cents.so that would be about $1.00 call it that.
you can use 2 times as much but use butter or margarine
