Cooking oil price / Aldi

[Philsutton]

Right anyone know what the price of cooking oil is at Aldi, cant find it anywhere. Cant be bothered to go down if its going to be ver the £1 mark. Cheapest i can find so far is Costco at 86p / litre which I still ghey.

[hendrix]

Jeebus!!! It was like 40p a litre last time I looked.
Phil how does a corsa 1.5TD run on veg oil??

[Philsutton]

Yeah well all the shops have clocked on the fact that people are using it as fuel and have doubled their price.

It runs ok on it, bit down on power and smokes its face off in the morning but its a cheap runaround.

[Stuart]

plus factor in costco membership fees lol


saw loads of people on Monday buying 6-10 20L packs of the stuff.

[hendrix]

Anyone tried Makro??
Or a local cash and carry?

[Prey]

It does suck but still its cheaper than the 1.09 that tesco are doing

[Stuart]

you could also try your local chineese supermarket. When I was looking at it a couple of years back when Diesel was 90p/litre and cooking oil was 45p in most palces, the chinky places were selling it for like 30p

[hendrix]

What mix you running phil?

[Philsutton]

Tried them too, as that what everyone else suggested but after checking when everyone else started to increase the price they did to. I think the people that produce the oil are increasing their price as well due to demand and the fact that they know what most people use it for now.

[Philsutton]

100% mix lol

[hendrix]

100% FTW :thumb:

[Philsutton]

anything else is for girls, I also ran that through the winter along with having no antifreeze in as well. My car loves me.

[walshc]

the chinky places

lol if my mum saw that she`d write a massive rant now and call you racist, im only 1/4 chinese though and dont care/take offense to "ethnic slurs" so youre lucky :p

[Philsutton]

95p for the cheapest, so did a costco run instead

[Stuart]

I can spell chinky better than chineeeeeeeseseseseses lol

[General Baxter]

its about 15-16 pound for 20 litres at a cash an carry local to me:wtf:

[craig green]

Can someone point me towards the 'TAX EVASION' thread?

Search doesnt work.

[Stuart]

Craig, its legal upto something like 2500Litres a year aslong as you keep records of use then its no biggie.

[paul james]

Still paying VAT on it anyway, 17.5% off to the government

[wisewood]

Do you pay VAT on cooking oil? I dont think you do. I'm pretty sure its zero rated for VAT.

edit: unless of course you are declaring to HMRC that you are purchasing the said cooking oil and using it for non food purposes, in which case they would expect you to cough up the 17.5% after you have messed about filling in lots of forms.

[Philsutton]

Like stu said you get up to 2500 litres for personal use a year before you pay fuel duty on it, and no VAT either but with the rise in fuel price and the fact that fuel duty is a percentage and thus we are paying more as the supply price goes up as well regardless of them "holding" any more increases. So they can afford it.

[Jack]

and the fact that fuel duty is a percentage
No its not

[Philsutton]

bah im sure some where along the line it is somewhere? Either that or Ive failed lol
