On the peppermint: Why not just grow some? You could use the harvest to make a concentrated spray or even distill it for the oil. Peppermint is a great multipurpose crop.

Although I do not have any great tips on finding the oils you were looking for, sorry
I was wondering how bad your mouse problem is, and if you had considered employing one of our feline friends to take care of that issue?
In college I had a serious mouse problem in my apartment. Then I rescued a stray cat that had been outside my apartment for about a week and it looked like it was about to die. Long story short, I have a very fuzzy Maine Coon cat and 0 mouse problems.
However cats can bring about some issues of there own, mostly care related. I don't know what your situation is like but a cat that has been living outside for any amount of time will definitely be able to put a dent in any mouse population. Or at the very least make the mice steer very far clear of wherever the cat hangs out, mice don't want anything to do with felines.
Good Luck on your search,
Daniel

I still think those jars are too small. I usually buy in 5 gallon buckets. LOL All about perspective, I guess.

I'll have to wait ubtil I get them to know how good the deal was, because they sell by weight, and I have only bought by the fluid once.

Funny cause coconut oil isn't liquid at room temp. Still, I think an ounce is an ounce.

There is an AWFUL lot of deception when it comes to extra virgin olive oil, I trust the sources I use but you can't really be sure unless you pressed the olives yourself.

container, and it is just short of a gallon. I think I did well, as long as the oil is pure. The cocnut oil is in the same type container and just as full, but I cannot pour it out yet, it is still solid.
I am very pleased with the quantities, but I have not used either oil as of yet.
Thank you for all of the suggestions, and advise. I am still looking for a bargain on 100% peppermint oil. The best I've found is $40.00 on amazon from "NOW" products.

I use this in cooking or anywhere I need a bulk amount. I have found it to be good quality, though they don't give much detail about it on the site. Have already burned through 5 gals of it and working on the second.
for lotion/salve/healing uses I get $18 per qt wilderness family naturals raw coconut oil, it has a slightly different consistency.
