Don,

Coconut oil is expensive, even at the asian markets (Its $4 to $6 a
pound where I live).  There is a company in Lancaster PA, (Golden
Barrel) which sells coconut oil in large tubs (40 pounds I think) for
under $50.00.  Considering that the stuff has a shelf life of years, it
might be a good deal.

I haven't bought any from them yet, but I think I will as soon as I move
to a new house.
