Any recommendations on better deals?


I saw this too and i just refuse to pay that much for olive oil. I’m using vegetable oil a lot more. I hope the prices drop again otherwise olive oil will just be for very special occasions.

NP but I use it for everything because it's the purist to start with. Don't care what happens when I cook it.

Don’t buy 2 3L of it. How much olive oil do you need?

You can still get their organic brand for $21 for 2L which is still a pretty decent deal.

It’s not price gouging. Olive crops in Spain, the largest producer, dropped 50% in 2023 and isn’t back to normal levels yet. It’s due to climate change. Also, the war in Ukraine is making canola oil scarce, which puts more demand on olive oil.
