How Much Coconut Oil Do You Use?

How much coconut oil would you say you go through in a month’s time? In three months? In a year?

Our family goes through about a quart every 2-3 weeks. We use it for all kinds of cooking – stirring it into everything from muffins to popcorn. We loved the stuff! It’s great for more than just baking and cooking. It’s fabulous to apply to the skin or to use as a carrier for essential oils. My doctor recently recommended that I eat a teaspoon a day – straight coconut oil on a spoon to help with my overall health. It sounds weird, but when I eat the good brands, it actually tastes like candy to me. (Maybe I’m the weird one??)

If you are like our family and go through a significant amount of coconut oil, you definitely want to check out this gallon bucket deal at Tropical Traditions this weekend!

They have their gallon-sized bucket of Gold Label Oil marked 50% off through Sunday, January 31. PLUS they are offering free shipping! It’s a sweet deal! If you don’t think you’d use this up quickly enough, I recommend splitting it with a friend so you can still enjoy the deal!

You’ll find this 50% off bucket on this page, but you’ll have to scroll down to find it (under all the great information about the health benefits of the oil).

How long does coconut oil last before going bad?

Typically there is an expiration date on the oil which is about 1.5 years from the time you purchase it. Coconut oil rarely goes bad though, so it can still be good and useful for several years past its expiration date. If you’re questioning if you could use up a gallon before it goes bad, I can almost guarantee that you can. I’ve never once had coconut oil go bad (especially TT brand).

1/2 Price Gallon Bucket of Coconut Oil

You’ll want to grab your 1/2 price bucket of oil before the sale ends on Sunday, January 31. Use the code 11162 at checkout for free shipping to apply. Free shipping ends Monday, February 1.

Anybody else snack on coconut oil??

    Um, we have been known to go through a 5-gallon bucket of coconut oil in a month (there are 11 of us).

    We go through 5 gallon buckets very quickly in our family of 9! I use coconut oil in all my cooking. I have found I prefer the taste of the oil I order from Wilderness Family Naturals. Even with shipping their prices are usually cheaper the Tropical Traditions. My daddy takes coconut oil by the spoonful to help with memory issues. It is so good for so many things!

    I love coconut oil. I use it to cook, for my hair, skin and I eat it as well. I can’t seem to get the link for the half gallon to work. Maybe they are sold out? It’s just me & the hubby here at home now (well my little doggy too, but she can only have a teeny bit… but loves the teeny bit she does get) I can see buying the gallon size right now but would love to try the TT brand.
    I hope everyone has a very blessed weekend! And thank you for this blog, Laura. I appreciate you!

    I eat it by the spoonful hoping that the information about it helping with weight loss is true…
