Costco (and other membership clubs like Sam's, etc) carry the 2 1/2
gallon size of a couple of different oils. I get the Mazola corn oil.
Costco also carries the larger jug of olive oil (not EVOO) as well as
a couple of kinds of EVOO. Do you have a Cash and Carry near you or a
restaurant supply store that is open to the public. They will also
have the larger containers of various oils.
