Home Depot. I was there the day before T-Day buying wood chips for the turkey I was smoking and saw oil for deep friers there.

Try some of the Asian supermarkets. Wal-Mart has it for about $23 for 5gal container.

In before the lock..


Most hardware stores carry it. Check Lowes and Home Depot. They are sometimes cheaper than Walmart.

Check out Costco or markets like asian ones that sell large containers of items like that.

I looked EVERYWHERE before Thanksgiving, and I found the best price was at Dicks here in Topeka. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT cheaper at Sams Club. Watch closely, as they sell it in 3.5, 4, and 5 gallon sizes, even amongst the same brand, so at first glance that cheap price may not be cheaper.

You don't. Peanut oil happens to be the best frying oil and thus very expensive. The cheapest and smallest size I could find was at Albertsons and it was a gallon for $12.
