I have bought straight suet from grocery meat departments & packed it into wherever I wanted or into mesh bags that fruit &/or vegetables have come in or into store bought suet feeders.
For you that don't know, packaged FAT, often with bits of meat attached & that may have a bit of blood & which some meat cutters may think you want or that can be pushed off on the unsuspecting, is not what you want. You want hard suet only. It is naturally hard & is the white fat that comes from around the loins & kidneys of cattle & sheep. Lard is rendered fat that comes from pigs & it usually stays soft at room temperature. In fact, in many countries it is used as butter! Butchers used to give it to me free but at holiday time it is used to make minced meat so the price on it then is about as much as roast beef.
