[Homesteadingfamily] Re: Olive oil and lard

I get the cert org and non cert org from TROPICAL TRADITIONS online and
love it! I have been buying it from that site for about 7 years now..and
NEVER buy anything unless it is on sale or has free shipping...sometimes
both! I have tried the SPECTRUM brand, too, but went right back to the
TT....I sold on that one. They also have a Coconut Creme with little
bits of coconut in it..makes the best coconut pies I have ever had in my
mouth!
As far as using it for lotion, I bought a quart jar about a year ago or
longer..and use only a teaspoon or half of that and it is still going!
Much cheaper than the best lotion in the stores...and no additives! I'm
hooked!~deb
