I keep seeing coconut oil mentioned here and there for its shelf life and nutritional value & as a moisturiser etc so I planned on buying some eventually. The cheapest place I had found was on amazon, £21.49 for 3 x 460g tubs of virgin coconut oil. I was in tesco today and found a 250ml bottle of pure coconut oil for 99p. Much cheaper than I have found before although it's not described as virgin oil. http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/D...=260733086

Never mind, this oil isn't good, it doesn't taste or smell like coconut and has a funny colour, which isn't good according to this guide on identifying good coconut oils. http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/art...conut7.php I'll be using it for skin and hair, not as a food. You get what you pay for I suppose... I'll be buying from Coconoil next time
