Around here, peanut oil is FAR cheaper than Canola.

For general cooking, I still use olive oil the most followed by grape
seed oil when I have it on had as it's good, has a higher smoke point
and is about $2.00 per liter cheaper than EVOO when I get it at Phonecia
in Austin. Next is coconut oil.

I use peanut oil mainly for deep frying, but sometimes for other frying
as the mood strikes. I like it's flavor.

I don't use Canola at all as I do NOT like the way it tastes or smells.
To me, it smells/tastes rancid.
