Butter Beans are also known a Fava Beans and even
Broad Beans. They are fairly large, maybe up to an
inch long, and a kind of butter color (hence the name).
Check your market for Fava Beans. Canned or dry beans bagged.
If you ever find any suitable, here is one of my favorite
recipes
Butter Beans
Serves 4
8 oz dried butter beans
2 rashers bacon
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
3 cups chicken stock
1 clove garlic, crushed
A few fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
Fry the onion, bacon and garlic in the melted butter
until soft, add the unsoaked beans and stir well then
add the stock and bring to a simmer. Place in a
moderate oven 150°C (300°F) for 1½ to 2 hours or until
the beans are tender. Stir in the chopped tomatoes
and basil and serve.
Comment: Serve this either as a vegetable in its own
right or put it on a serving plate as a base for
presenting chops or duck pieces.

Skip WalMart and find a Dollar Store. 2 Cans for a buck! Cool thing about canned beans of all kinds is that even the cheapest brands are still pretty good!

I've never seen fresh butter beans in the grocery store...only at farmers markets. You can buy canned at the grocery though, or frozen.

butter beans look like whiteish Lima beans and they should be readily available at most markets and wallmart in the dry bean section or frozen vegetable section.
Good luck in your search.

If you don't mind canned, most supermarkets carry them in the canned vegetable isle -- so you could be successful at both places provided your walmart has a food section.
