Any of your cake shops that sell decorating supplies will have it. About $13 for a 3 lb tub here in San Antonio at Lucy's Cake Shop. Just google your zip code and closest cake supply store and you should have no problem finding it.
Like I said, I use butter, but I figured that OP was cake decorating. I don't do any piped icing, so use the butter because it tastes a lot better. Decorated cakes can look gorgeous but they always taste like sugar and Crisco. Pretty but not tasty.
I'll decorate with nuts, fruit, shaved chocolate, or whipped cream. I like the looks of the cakes with real flowers, too.

Interesting; like grease + salt grease + sugar is also a great taste combo but of course Crisco has its own unique flavor.
