Default Pure Olive Oil vs EVOO

I have several oils and many different EVOOs, but the less expensive
stuff is what I use to cook with. I haven't compared costs recently
because I don't care, but I'm pretty sure it's close enough to the
cost of the "less desirable" (aka: crap) oils, like vegetable and
canola, that my accountant (if I had one) wouldn't have a heart attack
and according to what I googled, it is cost effective compared to the
price of peanut oil, which I don't need to use as an everyday cooking
oil anyway.

2 liters Kirkland Signature EVOO (UC Davis approved) = $13.13
2 liters Lion & Globe Peanut Oil = $16.79
24oz Planters Peanut Oil = $8.19
so 1 liter is approx $11.60 x 2 = $23.20
or 2.5 x $8.19 = approx. $20.50

Any way you want to work the numbers, Kirkland's Signature EVOO wins.
