Cost increase of olive oil at Sam's Club

[ozarkscents]

I asked my hubby to pick up a couple gallon jugs of olive oil from Sam's yesterday. The cost was $15.98. Last time I bought them at Sam's, they were $14.98. That was about 5 months ago.

Is this price increase just for Arkansas or everywhere?

Costco for 3 liters went from $22 to $25. In other news, http://www.libertynatural.com/ essential oils went up. Last summer I was eyeing 10 lbs of Dark Patchouli for $42 per lb. now its $70

Costco is 23.99 or something here in Minneapolis.

Costco here is 27.99

Costco in Northern Ca $25.99 just a few days ago, was 23.99

If you have Aldi's near you, they sell half liters for $2.99.

If you have Aldi's near you, they sell half liters for $2.99.

Even I can tell 6 half liters @ 2.99 is cheaper than both of those. Is that Aldi's regular price or a sale price?

 

[commoncenz]

It's their regular price

Are you sure it 100% oo? At that price I have a hard time not thinking its a blend

33.99 in my Costco, of course 6 l

We pay 3.19€ ($3.40) for 750ml at the German Aldi and that's 100% extra virgin olive oil.

Ok... I see I missed the half in front of liters.

A liter and quart are pretty close to the same size. So it would take about 8 to make a gallon.

That puts it at about $24 for a little more than a gallon.

Yep, it was $15.98 in Wisconsin too.

I remember reading that the olive harvest was bad recently because of storms and a fungal? infection.

 

[Susie]

It was $15.98 in Texas, also.

Certainly, but it's nice because it's a bulk price without having to buy a whole gallon. One of these bottles lasts me nearly 3 batches of soap, so a full gallon would last me about a year!

It's a mix of refined olive and EVO.

A quart is 0.945 l

 

[lenarenee]

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.

Yes, and the containers they are talking about are half liters.

So 2 half liters to make a liter.

you guys should start talk Metric like almost whole world,
Do you have any idea how difficult is to remember all this. American Gallon and Canadian Gallon is not the same. Once is something like 28 grams but two oz cosmetic jar will have 60 g of cream. oh confusing)
