None! Margarine wasn't purchased by the government during World War 2, thanks mostly to lobbyists in the butter industry. So it wasn't subject to rationing, which made it cheaper and more abundant than butter. It backfired on the butter industry, because after WW2 almost everyone used the non-rationed margarine and butter has since been more expensive and less purchased. Good question.

In the 1940's, margarine was approximately 18-cents per pound. Of course it could vary slightly depending on what area of the country it was purchased in, just like it is today.
