I remember a rhyme I learned in elementary school which I use and then bounce from it. Particularly around the holidays when I am preparing to do a lot of baking and determining how much I need to buy.
A pint's a pound the world around.
If a pint is equal to a pound and there are two cups in a pint, a pound of butter is equal to two cups. Thus, each stick is one-half cup, and each half stick is one-fourth cup.
I've never actually measured other groceries such as sugar or flour, but that relationship is very close so I still use it for shopping.
