So the 7 lbs of coconut oil is awfully close to a gallon, but one can't extrapolate that wt/gal measure to other oils because all oils are different densities. Still a great deal! :) Katie Mike,

Just something to be aware of when making the choice and comparing prices. My understanding is that the extra virgin coconut oil from Soaper’s Choice is expeller pressed (not cold pressed.)

I just ordered two gallons from Mountain Rose Herbs (to save a bit on shipping). I'll have to weigh one of the gallons so I can make a comparison. Thanks for the new source!
