Attention Wal-mart shoppers!

Does anyone know if you can buy palm oil at Walmart? If you can where about would it be located in the store?

I have searched walmart and found only coconut, olive, canola, vegetable
(soybean, corn) oil. Also lard, crisco and a hydrogenated veg-tallow mix.
I found a better selection of oils at Kroger, grapeseed, walnut, safflower.

Whole Foods is the only place I have found palm without ordering online.

I just remembered they carry a palm/soybean mix at Restaurant Depot. Soybean is genetically modified except for organic and I don't use known GMO products.

A lot of Asian and Indian food stores sell palm (sometimes called "vegetable Ghee). Also, there's a palm shortening that you can get at almost any hippy / whole foods store...Spectrum, I believe is the brand name of it. I know these items will be more expensive than buying it by the bucket, but it'll give you something to work with until you decide you need to buy in bulk.

thanks so much for the info. I do have some ordered but my husband is very impatient and wants to try making the shaving soap RIGHT now!
