  • I just got back from Lidl where I bought 1 litre of vegetable oil for 1.09 pounds. Seemed to be cheaper than Tesco or Sainsburys.

    I get the Lidl oil in the 2ltr container it's very good oil high temperature tolerant and no funny after taste like some oils do.I stock up on it when they have it on half price weekend special.

    Just as an aside, "vegetable oil" is usually rapeseed oil and is a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids.

    The last time I bought sunflower oil, I got 3 x 1 litres for £3 at Tesco. The individual 1 litre bottles were £1.59 each though. Not sure if the offer is still on?

    I do not think you get much better than above. Well only save a few pence. Unless your opening a eating estabilsment or using it as a (diseal subistute. Then it may be worth going to cash and carry and having a look a drum prices

    Asda oil just went up 50% to £1.63 a litre. That's more than diesel fuel.

    I want to cook in it. How can they raise the price that much.

    A 3 ltr bottle is £3.13 so a massive saving for now.....
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
