$6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if you’re buying cheap butter or expensive butter.
You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all.
DIY Butter doesn’t spoil any faster and can be frozen.
It also just tastes a lot better.

That estimate seems a bit high TBH. A quart of heavy cream will net you less than a pound of butter on average.

What about the gums in the heavy whipping cream? Every package heavy cream I can find at the grocery store contains some kind of gum, even the nicer ones. This doesn’t impact the butter?
