Rite Aid is a national chain of discount stores. Their mark-up on items will likely be much less than an independent health store. It's the same reason small, independent retailers can't compete with Wal Mart, Target & similar discount chains.<a href="http://www.bigjobtools.com/srch/srch.php?q=Bostitch"> Xeod</a> Although there may be a difference in the concentration & quality, the biggest difference is most likely in the retail mark-up cost (profit margin).

The higher the natural vit. E level, or added anti-oxidants the longer it will last. Health shops tend to have huge mark-ups, but the other price does look a little low. You can try both but I am afraid the rancidity may get to you- or your friends!!<a href="http://www.eyeprocedure.com/lasik-eye-surgery-risks.htm"> John C</a> Coconut oil goes rancid (smells soapy)very easily when exposed to water, a little dust (which has bacteria in it) & warmth.

Essential oils are part essential oil, part carrier oil. I'm willing to bet if you looked closely at the labels, the Rite Aid brand concentration would be a whole lot lower than the health food store one.<a href="http://www.currencyexchangemarket.com/world-currency-exchange-rate.htm"> J C</a> The difference is the concentration.
