Carol M Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm sure I used to be able to buy safflower and sunflower oils in the 48 oz jugs for around $2.29 like regular canola and soybean oils. I'm positive Wesson was one of the brands. Now, it seems the only way to get them in the grocery is to go with a specialty brand for about $4 for 32 oz. Has anyone else noticed this?

Has anyone else noticed this?That's the only way I've ever found them. Keep them in the fridge; they go rancid quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes, Wesson was one of the brands. Also whatever your grocery store's brand is (e.g. Safeway) used to have it too. I'm not sure what happened to them. Now I only see canola and soybean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Living in the sunflower state, we can't even find it readily available. Well I can't unless I go out in the fields, steal the seeds and process on my own (which ain't happening ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I can't even find it locally here in PA, so I order it from WSP!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 That's really strange. Lou Ana also used to sell Safflower oil at regular cooking oil prices. I'll have to remember to check when I go back to WalMart and see if they still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yep, the Sunflower Oleic and Safflower oleic are both high priced around here too, not as high as Olive Pomace but higher than Canola or Soybean. Luckly I found some locally at NaturalOils.com (which is a 17min drive for me) so I can save on shipping. But a gallon of sunflower oleic is $24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed this?My supermarket used to sell Grapeseed Oil for 2.99 a bottle.Now it's over 6.00. All soaping oils are getting kinda pricey, IMO.

tatortot Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yep, same here in the NW. Our local markets took Wesson sunflower oil off the shelf last year. A few months ago tho, I happened to wander into one of the Grocery Outlet stores here,they had 25oz sunflower oil for 1.29 ea. You should have seen my husbands face when I came home a few times with 6 bottles of it. Its also great to cook with.Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesweet Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Our grocery had store-brand sunflower oil, 48 oz. for $2.49 and occasional sales for $2.00. Over the past year they have steadily increased the price to $4 per 48 oz and never a sale. Is there a sunflower shortage or what...I've seen tons of them all fall?? First olive oil triples, now sunflower doubles. It's starting to be cheaper just to order everything in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
