I buy 2 gallons olive oil from Costco to cook with. 2 years ago, it was $15.99. now it’s $65. Fuck capitalism.

Um, 2 gallons for $16? That was probably fake or blended olive oil. That’s $2 a quart. No one is selling you the good stuff for that price.

It’s refined olive oil and 15% extra virgin olive oil. Here it is on their site for a single one. At the store, they have the two bottles attached with a plastic handle.
