The Little Dudes and I went out for a massive Costco haul today and I stumbled across this deal. I think I may have literally died and gone to heaven. I was so excited that I talked to myself for a few minutes in the aisle, tried to call Emilie to tell her about it. I told the boys about how great the deal was and they responded by punching each other in the head. I had to look at the sign about 17 times before I actually believed it.
Point?
This is a fantastic deal.
Costco now sells Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil (78 oz) for just $21.99. This works out to just $.28 per ounce, an almost unheard of price for coconut oil. Nutiva is great quality and I can 99.9% guarantee you that you won’t find a better deal anywhere.
Please note: Your local Costco may not carry this item yet or at all. They do tend to vary store to store, but I would almost say this is worth making a special trip for.

I did the same thing. I had to take a picture with my phone to look at at home to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.
I am buying one tub every week to stock up. Of all the oils I’ve used, this is the best tasting coconut oil available.
Thanks for this! Does this type taste/smell like coconut?
It definitely has a faint hint of coconut. Don’t quote me exactly on this, but this is what I remember reading. The less it smells like coconut, the more processed it is. To get rid of the smell and make a more neutral tasting oil, it goes through a higher-heat processing which destroys some of the nutrients. It’s the same with olive oil. It’s definitely not super strong, but it is there. Really yummy though!
You can buy MCT oil that has many of the benefits of coconut oil, but it doesn’t have the coconut taste. MCT oil is made from coconut oil and stands for medium chain trygliceride. Only at healthfood stores, possibly and online. I use it for frying and baking.
Coconut oil is a medium chain tryglyceride. Don’t know what the health food store charges for MCT oil, but probably way more than extra virgin coconut oil which is what MCT oil is.
