Cheapest place for frying oil (sunflower especially)?

pollyskettle

When we first moved a bit further North than we were used to (moved to Lincs from Hants) we went to the chippy van and had chips in dripping for the first time. Quite an acquired taste, I think, certainly very different from what we were used to

We use sunflower oil at home, but generally pay around £4/3 ltrs at Sainsburys. Given that we very seldomly have chips, or anything else deep fried, I'm not going to panic too much over the health aspects of one oil over another and we were recommended sunflower oil as it has a high flash point IIRC. Can't abide the taste of olive oil at all though. For some reason it's a taste I really dislike, although everyone else here likes it.

Yes, apparently you're right, frying with sunflower oil is one of the healthier options along with rapeseed and olive oil. I believe olive oil is the healthier option though, and believe it or not olive oil actually taste nice cooking with as well, I've even tried cakes cooked with olive oil, they taste much more superior than cooking with butter, a bit expensive though albeit healthier.

Anyway, Pounland were selling 1L bottles of sunflower oil and vegetable oil. You could try there if you have any stores near you.

Or

Cereol Pure Sunflower Oil (10L) currently 2 for £19 (95p/Litre) at Tesco until 21/04/2012.

And the Tesco offer pointed out by Angela is for sunflower oil though ends tomorrow 27/03/2012.

In my poundland you only get 750ml for £1

Where do you have to sign up to get Morrisons offers emailed to you? I prefer Asda and Morrisons as I find Tesco and Sainsburys quite expensive.

Good point! I did some mass-frying for the first time in over 5 years the other weekend, and then remembered why - fried food really doesn't agree with me .

I felt exactly the same way 25 years ago but changed my mind pretty quickly. Stick with it, it's an acquired taste.

Re: olive oil, I agree with VfM4meplse that it's def possible to accquire the taste for olive oil
