I have never used lard. Any issue with using this particular lard? Grocery store near me has it on special for $.75. Does it go bad in packaging or have any sort of shelf life?

I wouldn't recommend any lard that doesn't need refrigeration. I tried it and wound up stripping and re-seasoning the pieces with something else. I think whatever they added to it to make it shelf stable wrecked it as a good seasoning medium.

Ive had no issue with crisco and that does not require refrigeration.

Try it. I have some Snow Cap now & use it for cooking & seasoning. A couple/three months after opening in the pantry and longer in the fridge. Historically I've used Armour brand with good seasoning success.
