Thanks for the info. I’ve never bought coconut oil but I believe movie theaters used to use it to make popcorn. Then the do-gooder nutrition gestapo went after them, essentially forcing them to change to vegetable oil. I remember Rush’s rants about it. I’ll have to try it. I see it’s considerably more expensive than lard, but I just shop for me these days and food has not been that big of a portion of my total budget (it’s getting larger though. Food price inflation lately has been outrageous).
I noticed the inflation in our grocery tab today. We spent a good $35 more than we normally would on a weekly big shopping. (I did buy one household thing that was expensive and unusual, but even with that, our cart contained much less than would have been usual a few months ago.)
