I get my coconut oil from Swanson's Vitamins on line - can get a 54 oz. jar for about the same money as 16 oz at local health food store.
Swanson's has free shipping offers regularly - and then’ is when I order heavy stuff, like the coconut oil, Bob's Red Mill flours/mixes, etc.
I can't, however, down straight coconut oil. I gag. But I use it in generous amounts when cooking - fry eggs almost swimming in it, heat up my pork fried rice in liberal amounts, pop corn in it, mix with butter to put on popped corn and pancakes and crepes, French toast, etc.
I'm a great grandmother - can do the crosswords - doing good so far. (I think :)....)
It’ll be interesting to see how you do over the long term with it.

Ditto on Swanson’s.
I have a jar of the same oil. It gets hard in the fridge and I forget to take it out to soften. Do you leave it out. If it was softer, I would use it more often.
You can also use coconut oil for things like salad dressing and mayonnaise
