I buy mine in bulk, Spanish organic extra virgin works out at £22 per 5lt can, which is expensive compared to Lidl's own, but it lasts me forever and it is lovely!

Where do you buy oil in bulk from? Have never seen any large cans in my local shops or supermarkets, we use a lot of extra virgin oil so this seems a good idea to buy in bulk.

I suffer from eczema, and am unable to use perfumed toilletries. I use a few drops of olive oil as a moisturiser in the bath - I suppose you could add some essential oil if you didn't like the smell!

Yogagirl,

I buy from a wholefoods warehouse, Infinity Foods, based in Brighton but they deliver all over the South East of England (not sure about any further).

I buy for myself and my clients and friends via my doula business (as I do some catering for my mums) and the minimum order is £200 for delivery in London.

I am not sure whether they sell to individuals too, but you could try and get in touch with them on

Thanks Caterina

They don't deliver to my area but its given me the idea of doing a search for places that do, thanks for the info anyway.

I use olive oil for the dry skin on my legs, it works a treat as a little goes a long way!

I use almond oil, from the cooking oil section in Tescos, on my skin - I find the smell of olive oil a bit too strong for this. I think it was only about 79p and it lasts ages. I mix a couple of teaspoons into a pot of el cheapo unperfumed moisturising cream (from superdrug) which makes it much richer for my poor old dry and aging skin, also use it neat on dry patches.

You can usually buy it from chinese food shops too

Groundnut oil is peanut oil. Not that this info makes any difference.
